Kid asked to redshirt and we brought nothing in the portal to allow for this. smh.

I watched VT spring scrimmage because i was bored...and them mfers had like 5 or 6 scholly qbs. We trotting out 3 with 1 that knows his limits and asked for a shirt.

There had to be an FCS QB that wanted to step up for a chance to start here in 24 or a guy like how VT got Kyron Drones or some1 else to transfer over who lost a starting battle somewhere.

Jake Garcia's name has to be mentioned here. I know a lot of folks dont think he was worth much but he would have provided the perfect QB2 - QB3 battle partner for Emory Williams. In my opinion the staff failed on this one by listing Jacurri Brown as QB2 at the end of the season. As well, the marketplace seemed to value Garcia as he went to an SEC school and is in contention for the starting job.

Agree with all of this. I know very little about the QB position but boy did he look horrible yesterday.

With that said, it’s still way too early to give up on the kid. Especially one as athletic and talented as him. Potential #1overall pick if he can put it all together.

But it’s not too early to recognize that he’s likely 2 years away (this season and next season) from being a starter. And next years starter is very likely not on the roster (unless Emory is just too **** good).

I agree it's too early, but respectfully, that also applies to suggesting someone who just had a "horrible" outing might be a "Potential #1 Overall pick."

A bad outing, if used for motivation, is a great thing. But so many fans here get carried away this time of year with unrealistic enthusiasm for individual and team expectations, then get devastated each season. I hope he is the #1 Overall Pick coming from the Canes. But for now, I'll settle on him having a bad day that motivated him to work harder on the basic QB skills/throws he should have come into the NCAA with and improve the depth of the team. Remember those Canes corners everybody used to complain about, who somehow didn't learn in high school to turn and find the ball?

Emory has huddle command and pre-snap presence to go with his feel for the position and accuracy; he'd do it a little differently, but I believe the offense could be just as successful with him as it would be with Tyler. He doesn't carry himself like an EE who arrived in January or someone competing to be Tyler's back-up; I think people are quietly in awe of how much he doesn't look like a rookie and he has everyone's attention when he's on the field.

Interestingly, these are the same type of comments I saw on this board when TVD was a freshman. No one thought much of TVD when he came in as a mid 3-star prospect, but when the wide receivers started catching balls from him, then we started hearing about his arm and ability.

I’m going to provide this caution…. the updates in this thread are great, but if this were a game thread, it would include more of the bad plays.

Ex: first drive where TVD threw the incredible sideline pass - 2 offensive penalties and what would have been at least one sack…

Don’t overreact and buy the Kool Aid funnel and also don’t smash your glass either

I said the temptation is there…didn’t say that I’d actually drink the Kool Aid. I’m holding off on the Kool Aid for now…been burned too many times

Agreed. And I’m not saying don’t get excited. It was one of the first times I’ve been at a pre-season scrimmage so was able to appreciate that nuance of being there vs what we may have been seeing for many years in that we get updates, and the updates of information is accurate, but incomplete… incomplete because it’s simply an update, not a full play by play analysis…

We’ll see how the Kool Aid blends in a few weeks!!

I hope there’s a wonderful woman out there that truly appreciates your commitment and consistency

One huge issue is the speed of the D1 game. Practice is one thing ... and normally a lot slower than an actual game environment. Sure you can become effective IN DRILLS, but then, in a game, when you have to scan the field, evaluate the coverage, make decisions on what you're most likely going to do with the ball given coverage, then take the snap, manage the pocket, and THEN throw without thinking about footwork / mechanics etc. Like Spurrier said "only 25% of HIGHLY QUALIFIED HS QB's CAN MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT TO THE SPEED OF D1 BALL". It's a lot easier for an elite athlete to play TE than QB. We might be seeing that with Jacurri.

I’m no QB guru but he really needs to work on his feet tirelessly I see that as his biggest issue. It’s mental too bc his head is ruining his feet while throwing bc his so indecisive that it throws the whole Rhythm off.

Ajay Allen stealing the show? I was told by a porster on here with a PhD in Come Pinga that Allen was a JAG and needed to spend every day at the buffet to amount to anything

I mean TVD was a 4 star, top 250 recruit on the composite. Consensus was he was probably a stiff but let’s not change history.

There is one thing wrong with Emory. He wasn’t a 5 star recruit. Had he been, we would be reading posts today about how people can’t wait for him to take over next season. Instead, there is an assumption that because of his recruiting ranking, there must be something “lesser” about him such that we see him as someone we might “have to” accept while not being sure we “want to” accept him.

For those who feel this way I feel bad for you because someone other than you is making up your mind about the quality of player.

This. +1,000,000

To anyone who thinks otherwise please sleep on Emory. I dare you. In fact, I double dare you.
