FSU Football Takes a New Direction at QB for 2026 + Two NEW Commits!

[@GorgeousBabyBlueWater]

Jesse, this is exactly what I like, (metaphor) fresh off the grill food. It just occurred Sunday, and you give us a full plate the same day, or Monday (today). I always enjoy your show, hoping we go better than 8 wins this upcoming season. Seminoles football all day, everyday in mind!

Appreciate that!! 🙏 Our biggest problem with both Michael and I working full-time is coordinating schedules and being able to stay on top of the news cycle. Typically, we have to reheat leftovers and just add some seasoning 😅 I've also gotten used to having a co-host now, so I don't solo record much anymore. I had time to knock it out today and will try to do more of these going forward!! 🫡 I'm thinking we will end up around 8 wins with the chance to surprise to the upside as long as we stay healthy. I'm still VERY cautiously optimistic, but I am optimistic about this season. Go Noles!!🔥🍢

We need to recruit a cam Newton type of QB

[@plantthespear]

Definitely agree with you there. It would set off Malzahn's offense. I like any of these three, but it would be nice to have a dual-threat QB that's 6'4/6'5 200+ with a cannon like Cam.

At first look, losing Smigiel wasn't great, but I love the three new targets you mentioned. They are also better fits for the new system. Nice pickups on the two new commits, too. Great breakdown. Go Noles!

Appreciate that! 🫡 I think we have a good chance to land Duckworth, but I like all 3. They are a great fit for the system and dynamic players! Go Noles!! 🔥🍢

I'm just not sold on this new type offense at FSU but we will see. It's almost like making Malzahn the head coach with MN as as assoc. head coach in training. I was not against our previous offense if we had the horses to run it especially on the offensive line and QB. We need better receivers too. I think we do have the running backs to be successful. I just don't want us to become UCF because they weren't all that good last year. Them and Nebraska seem to be who we are raiding for players and coaches. Go Noles!

So why did Norvell decide to go to the wing T type offense vs. the pro style which Luke could have run at FSU? I'm just wondering if MN does think for sure that the running QB offense with 2 backs and running the ball 75% of the time is the way to go? I have no idea but it does seem as though the running or mobile QB is more popular than the statue QB unless you have the horses to protect him, which we don't apparently. I'll be interested to see how we do with this new offense which will be exciting to watch.

It was an interesting choice, but I think hiring Malzahn was more about Norvell getting someone who is proven and experienced, and he knows he can trust. He knows he has to win right now and couldn't take any chances. Personally, I thought we were going to get Brennan Marion from UNLV. But Gus is the top of Norvell's coaching tree, and they have worked together before. Although, you could argue that his best days are behind him, they still had pretty good offenses at UCF with less talent than he'll have at FSU. The mobile QB aspect should help with a struggling OL, which was our biggest problem last year, and hopefully, something that gets fixed under the new staff. You just have to know there's a certain type of QB you aren't going to get. Maybe it will end up being a good thing to have an offense that's not so dependent on a great QB, but having good QB play is just a bonus. Only time will tell, but I'm excited to see what it looks like. If we can run the ball like Malzahn has proven to do throughout his career and play good defense, I think we'll get back to being successful. One thing I do like about the Malzahn hire is he knows what it looks like to compete in the SEC and at a national championship level and can pass that onto Mike. Show him how to go compete on the trail, too.

Luke wasn’t the answer

What about your RB that was a High School QB
