So?

Neither did Kyle Wright (California) or Kirby Freeman (Texas)...and neither did Gino Torretta, and Ken Dorsey was a clipboard holder...

Geno, Denard, and Teddy Football are going to or have had very good college careers.

I'm not against the Pro Style offense...it can be a dominant offense if it has the right pieces (look at USC and Stanford)...its just, Miami has usually been on the forefront - nationally - of these dynamic trends in college football...and it just seems ***** that they missed the boat on the spread and a school like Florida used it, dominated, won championships, and had a Heisman winner with it. Considering Miami's recruiting base, and the use of the spread at the high school level, it makes it an easy transition at the college level.

Yeah man, we just havent had the man at the helm to get it done.

While I do agree with your general POV here it's a bit of a double-edged sword when we talk about missing out on certain guys because of the spread. We have also landed quite a few recruits over the years because we continue to use the pro-style offense, unfortunately the wins havent come with that, which is what it all comes down to I guess.
 
Should we get a QB from South Florida? **** yes, but we should NOT lower the standard just to take one out of here. If a kid is 1% better out of Pennsylvania at running the offense we want to run, then take the OOS kid. But all things equal, **** yeah I'd love to see a local QB and I think Morris can be a good one.

He better be. After the failed Jacory Harris experiment, if Morris doesn't work out Miami won't take another S Fl quarterback for another 20 years lol.

Should we go to a spread offense? **** no. **** NO x10000. That would ruin Miami football. I kind of like preparing these young men for the NFL. The spread is a high school offense for people too stupid to understand a playbook.
 
I'm all for D's Morris optimism, but until I see him make a play with his head instead of his arm or legs, I'm going to be cautious about my expectations.

Bama got titles with McElroy and McCarron

McCarron is a lot better than what we have been trotting out there, and McElroy is still on the Jets isn't he? He got some praise and then got hurt IIRC.

agreed on McCarron although I believe McElroy was a fairly pedestrian college QB. I think

I can't buy into the Morris hype

I don't care where we get a QB be St. Xavier, Skyline STA or Anchorage East as long as they can play and doesn't have a five cent head

**** dmoney, this thread has blown up in your face the last 2 weeks. Geno has gone in the toilet, Morris is who we thought he was, Robinson has fallen on his face this year, Bridgewater is the only one doing well and that's against Big East competition.
 
Watch treon Harris and quinton flowers go on to have amazing college careers after we pass on them

They'll probably do well in a spread option, sure, but its doubtful they'll win anything meaningful. They'll go to a place like Louisville and beat up on Big East competition and get crowned for it.

Spread QBs, fellas...Miami is usually at the cusp of these transformations in college football...

Miami put a proverbial end to the option with speed on defense.
Before the Hal Mumme disciples made the air raid and the spread popular in the NFL, Miami had the bomb squad.
Before USC and Texas would create All-Star recruiting classes, Miami would have the most talented roster in the nation.

But somewhere, Miami stopped innovating.

What Florida did with Tebow and the spread...should have been Miami. That was the next natural evolution of the game and Miami passed it up. This latest crop of spread QBs, Geno, Denard Robinson...shame.

Good post.

Totally agree. I think we needed to transition when Brock Berlin was here. We were forcing him to fit our system rather than evolving. Just about every qb we had since that time has been mobile but we never took advantage.

Geno's still a spectacular prospect. Big fan.

Feel the same a/b Morris as I wrote 3+ months ago (see above).
 
Who says that Yugoslavians dont produce good cars? Can we finally put this myth to bed already?

I keep reiterating this and I will until he wear a Cane Uniform. Treon Harris is and will be a stud. People always laughed at me when I said Rakeem Cato was a good QB and I thought Miami should take a look, but as of now I'm the one laughing. Same thing applies with Treon. He has tremendous accuracy and can move his legs very well. I think he can be a Great QB at the next level and if we pass up on him it might be one of the worst decision ever. I agree his height is scary but I don't think any of you would mind having a guy like Russel Wilson and Everett Golson under the center.

I have no problem giving kids like him a shot, as long as it is clear from the beginning "you don't work out, you switch positions." If they can't except that, then move on.

You're laughing because Cato puts up numbers against CUSA teams in a spread offense, on a terrible team that is constantly in shootouts?
