Whoever is named the starter I’m ready to ride or die with.

I’m curious to see what others expectations are for the QB position. Im really hopeful one of the three guys takes control and the rest is history, but as close as I think it is and or injuries, I’m guessing we will see at least 2 guys get meaningful snaps.

With that being said, as a whole, what do you expect out of the QB position this year?

I’m predicting:
3,500 yds passing
28 tds
12 ints
64% completion
5 rushing tds

With this level of production at QB, our defense and schedule I’m predicting a 12-0 record

If we complete 64% of our passes, I think we'll be closer to 4,000 yards. Even Rosier had over 3K in 2017, if my fuzzy memory serves me well. Higher completion percentage + better OC would mean more yards, in my opinion.

That being said, what are the odds we get to 64%? I'll have to see it to believe it.

Rosier had these numbers in 2017
26 tds
14 ints
3120 yards passing
467 yards rushing
54%

I think Whoever is the qb eclipse those numbers

And that was him getting practically every snap, since we were rarely pulling away from teams. I expect better numbers from the position as a whole. Not only will the starter have better numbers, but the backups will have SOME numbers to add to the total.
 
Well last season
18 QBs put up 3400+ yards.
12 of the 18 put up at least 28 touchdowns
17 of the 18 threw for at least 25 touchdowns.
15 of the 18 had at least 64% completions.

That would put Miami’s QB in the top 20% of college QBs.

But I think the heart of this team will actually be the run game. I think we have a OL built to run the ball this year and I could see us running 55/45.

We ran for 2489 yards of offense last year which ranked 41st in the country. I think this years group can make top 20-15 in rushing offense and get at least 3000 yards on the ground.

In 2018 Miami ran 66 plays per game. Which ranked 116 out of 130 D1 schools.

If we run can run at least 75-85 plays per game I’d like to see Miami run at least 40 times per game with around 30-35 passing attempts per game.

These are just my regular season expectations. (I'm also assuming Martell starts)

3,200 yds passing
30 passing TDs
8 Ints
65% completion percentage
700 yds rushing
8 rushing TDs

11-1 (at least)
 
Barring a series of key injuries I believe the offense will improve as the season progresses. We’ll see if the QB position is settled by Game 1 vs UF or takes a few games.

3,200 yards passing
32-15 TD-INT ratio
65% completion
400 yards rushing
5 TDs

10-2 regular season record.

There will the inevitable off day or days. Even the best Canes teams had these days (2000 vs La Tech, 2001 vs BC) but were talented enough to win regardless. If this team and staff are good enough to overcome remains to be seen.
 
Distribute the ball to your playmakers.

No more no less, not rocket science.

Plain and simple, this was the mindset of the Ken Dorseys of the legacy Cane Qb’s never rattled always show calmness getting excited causes over throws interceptions fumbles.

Handoff pitch and throw that’s it

anything around 60-65 passing completion percentage, to me, means that this offense will have a certain amount of efficiency and effectiveness that was sorely lacking last season. More first downs, more rest for the D, flipping the field, all of that stuff, which UM was terrible at, should be improved if we hit that range in the pass game.

Just make sure a guy like JT4 gets at least 6-8 touches offensively a game

In Enos's first year as an OC at Arkansas he got Brandon Allen to play the best year of his career with 3,440yds 30TD's 8INT's at 65.9%cmp. Allen was a Senior, but improved I'm Eno's offense from being a 56% passer & only throwing for 2,285yds his Junior year.

Plus had Alex Collins rush for 1,577yds & 20TD's & TE Hunter Henry (who wound up a 2nd rd pick) had the best season of his career the one year in Enos's system with 51rec 739yds & 3TD's. Which shows Enos loves to utilize those TE's.

So the question is, do we have a QB as good or better than Brandon Allen was in 2015? If the answer is yes, then we can expect some big time productivity out of the QB spot for us this year.

Also, you gotta factor in how much impact Enos had on the Bama QB situation last year with Tua & Hurts. Tua had 3,966yds 43TD's & 6INT's at 69%cmp. Obviously, Enos wasn't the main play caller for Bama last year but was the AHC/QB coach & Saban 100% expected him to be his OC this year until he left for Miami.

So I think assuming Tate is the starter, we can expect production somewhere around Brandon Allen's season in 2015, don't think Tate is as good as Tua so I don't think he puts up anything close to that.

The one thing Enos is gonna have to drill into Tate's head is making smart decisions. Don't let all that ****iness & "moxie" have you out there throwing picks because you're staring down WR's. Don't play hero ball, just get it into the hands of the playmakers & let our skill position boys work their magic. We're loaded at RB, WR & TE, he doesn't have to carry this thing all by himself, just make plays when we need it & don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

If our Offense can crack the top 30 this year, we'll win 10 games regular season & probably a bowl game.

I'd take this type of output every season from the QB spot, mixed in with a strong physical running game, of course.

If that Oline can just be serviceable....
