Really, Just How Good Is This "D'Eriq King" Guy?

the 10 win 2017 team wasn't actually very good when you remove the Ws enabled solely due to D scores to bail out the O (UVA prime example).

Oh I agree...

That’s why I know we can be back in a hurry if we can just get to a **** top 50 offense. Diaz seems to have no trouble fielding a top 20 defensive unit

we had ROSIER at QB and he lead us to our first **** 10+ win season and coastal championship

King is 100x the QB Rosier ever could have hoped to be

  • As we've all heard, in his last (somewhat) full season of work, King scored 50 total TDs in only 11 games.

  • That sounds pretty **** on paper and personally my Under Armour 6" Boxerjocks are starting to pulsate with excitement, but what do those numbers really mean?

  • King's 50 TDs were only 4 less than that year's Heisman Trophy winner and future #1 overall pick, Kyler Murray.

  • Murray played in 3 more games than King.

  • In fact, in King's 50 TD-shortened season, he scored more or the same amount of total touchdowns than all of these QBs did in their best seasons, despite playing 2-4 less games than all of them:

  • Tua Tagovailoa
  • Trevor Lawrence
  • Baker Mayfield (Heisman season)
  • Deshaun Watson
  • Dak Prescott
  • Johnny Manziel (Heisman season)
  • Jameis Winston (Heisman season)
  • Robert Griffin (Heisman season)
  • Tim Tebow (Heisman season)

  • What about recent QBs who outscored King in a season?

  • Well fvck them, too.

  • King accounted for roughly 4.5 TDs per game in 2018. That per game average tops the best seasons by:

  • Joe Burrow (Heisman season)
  • Jalen Hurts
  • Justin Fields
  • Kyler Murray (Heisman season)
  • Lamar Jackson (Heisman season)
  • Patrick Mahommes
  • Dwayne Haskins
  • Marcus Mariota (Heisman season)
  • Cam Newton (Heisman season)
  • Sam Bradford (Heisman season)

  • King finds himself besting an absolutely eye-opening list of Heisman winners and first round draft picks. He's in the company of a murderer's row of the most elite and impressive college QBs of the last several years.

  • There is no other way to say it other than to say the data suggests that D'Eriq King is one of the most dynamic offensive players in all of modern college football.

  • Miami has not had a bonafide, elite playmaker and surefire stud at QB in decades.

  • Of the 19 QB's I listed above, 16 of them won 11 or more games in their best season.

The Takeaway:

  • Manny Diaz has one of the deadliest playmakers at the QB position in the last 15 years of college football.

  • He is being paired with an OC who just finished guiding an offense to a top 10 finish in both total yards and total points scored.

  • Credit to Manny for bringing these two into the program this off-season, as unlike Tate and Enos, King and Lashlee bring with them on-field and in-game proof of success.

  • Barring an injury to King, anything less than 10+ wins would be an abject failure and indisputable evidence that a head coaching change is immediately necessary.

Quick Summary:

*If Manny doesn't win big this year he's a ******.*

Keep King healthy and Lash breathing and we're gonna be fine on O.
 
I hope you are right, if so, this what he will be doing next year in the NFL

Trust me, he’s on a short leash. There'll be a revolt otherwise from the peeps that count, who are already angry. Both him and Blake will be gone in that scenario.

I'm serious, you speak like you know more than some of us. It ain't going to happen cause the KING is here.

King is **** good, unfortunately, not good enough to overcome the worst head coach in P5 football
 
Im just worried about his throwing but he ain't no Malik......kid is so good with his legs if Lashlee has great deceptions in his Offense, this kid will have the most yards on the ground ever for a UM QB in one season.

All the success though doesn't mean we will win

Put Trevor Lawrence or ANY QB in college football on that garbage Houston team and see if he puts up 50 touchdowns.
 
From the full games I’ve watched he makes quick decisions, he doesn’t take sacks (he’ll throw the ball away), he has good football Iq and instincts, and he has an it factor when it’s 3rd down.

The negative is his size and he can get caught throwing picks over the middle but I think it’s cause he loses where the safety is behind his o-line.

If the offense takes on his personality we’re going to have a fun year being Cane fans.

Great post! In summary, for Manny, it's put up or shut up NOW!

I hope King can put up a Vince Young 2005 type of season or better, if he can, miami can have a great year I believe. Time will tell.

King = V. Young type season = Perfect analogy of what we would need from him in order to beat a loaded team like Clemson.

USC was super talented all over - and Vince carried Mack Brown to a NC.

I highly doubt this happens - but we would need that type of performance.

I've been saying all offseason, Lashlee + King + our offensive weapons = Corstal title.

Idgaf who's in wait & see mode, I'm already there & been there, WE ARE WINNING 10 GAMES THIS YEAR.

Plus with an Elite pass rush our Defense will be good enough to cause immense pressure & force turnovers.

The key to the season will be keeping our OT's from getting embarrassed on a weekly basis & getting our LB corps healthy.

10 wins and a Coastal titles should be the floor with this team and this schedule. You’re not making any grand proclamation, my good friend, by saying we need to hit the marks you mentioned.

King is super talented and was being mentioned in Heisman talk two years ago with far less talent at his disposal. Lashlee runs the type of offense we should have been running here for 12 years. The offense is loaded with way more talent than the rest of the Coastal. The defensive line and Safeties are infinitely better than anything in the Coastal.

We’re not talking high bars here. This should all be super realistic.
