Miami Hurricanes' Emory Williams: Ready for the Spotlight? | Impact of Canes transfers

[@JackT-nn8iy]

I believe in giving Emory his shot! Guy has EARNED IT!!!!

[@gary-yj6sr]

i do too, but there needs to be an experienced backup on the roster. poffenbatger would have been perfect.

[@albertseda1432]

How has he earned it? His 150 yards vs Clemson or 8-23 performance vs FSU?

[@joebiggs5275]

Give Emory a chance. I'm not talking about a few reps. This kid is smart and had another year learning from Ward and O. C. Takes brains to play QB. Not just legs.

[@orlandorivero3385]

The truth-teller consistently speaks the truth, and I agree with his view that Emory William should be the starting quarterback. He has earned the opportunity.

[@BruceWarner-fg5ff]

Thanks. I appreciate you. Bruce

[@AlanH1999]

How has he earned it? Bc he sat behind Cam Ward?

[@iranpitre5039]

Merry Christmas to all! Its a no brainer Emory is the guy.

[@1mgofepinephrine120]

@@iranpitre5039 what did Emory do to convince you he’s the guy? 33% completion percent isn’t exactly a no brainer

[@iranpitre5039]

@ He hasn’t done anything to warrant our dismissal, but honestly it’s not so much what he has done it’s the idea that you don’t want to get into annual portal shopping over your quarterback it sends a bad message for high school recruits. To have sustained success I think you have to show development at the most important position in the sport. If we’re honest we are also on a Cam high!

Great point with Emory and WRs Bruce

[@patmac1134]

Bruce is the best, I agree with his point that Emory practiced with JoJo, Ray Ray, Chance & Ny all year. They should all be on the same page. Use all the Portal on defensive depth. The only offensive players is like you said, a backup QB, backup center and maybe a TE. Lets give our highly touted recruiting classes a chance. In today's NCAA, Ken Dorsey would not have been given a chance because he had no experience.

[@BruceWarner-fg5ff]

I'm really excited for the bowl game. Can't wait to see Cam play one more as a Cane. I'm also curious to see what happens with Guidry after the bowl game.

[@seanelliott8771]

Horton leaves to go to Alabama to be a second or third option when he could have been the main guy here really doesn’t make sense unless he knows something that the fans don’t know

[@miguelvillar2044]

$$$$$ and he’s threatened by Jojo and Robinson and Carr. He could’ve easily lost that WR1 role if he doesn’t play well or an injury.

[@davidalanwerner]

Yesss! Put him in the drivers seat. The boy can run and shoot!!

[@ConcertShutterbug]

I think that we would have hung an "L" on the 2023 Florida State team if Emory hadn't gotten injured.... The kid is a baller!

[@JackT-nn8iy]

I agree! Especially if they would have given us our safety! We were robbed on that call

[@peacetree9389]

Since Mario keeps things close to his chest we have No idea how Emory has developed especially practicing with Cam. Emory is a competitor and I’m excited to watch him play.

[@wisemanotis]

New D coordinator is a must

I think you guys forget what Guidry's D did last year. He was voted one of the Top 5 DC's

We may have not had a bunch of injuries last year But losing Damari Brown for basically the entire season was DEVESTATING. Losing Jadais Richards for the home stretch hurt REALLY BAD as well.

[@PastorDanWhite]

I hope Emory gets the start. I think he could lead Miami to another great season.

[@malcolmsimmons577]

Sending prayers for a full recovery 🙏🏾

[@JohnOrozco-ih8qh]

Bring in Air Noland and have him compete. No one is handed the number one QB spot, if someone is better get used to being a back up.

[@BruceWarner-fg5ff]

All of you who wished my wife a successful surgery yesterday-thank you very much. Much appreciated and she’s home and doing well. Sure she is in a lot of pain as jaw surgery normally is but she will be back singing in sold out venues across the country very soon. She says thank you to you good people out there.

Thank god everything well well. Go Canes

[@BruceWarner-fg5ff]

@ Thank you Dave.

[@sebastienc.2257]

The portal is cool and all but recruiting in Florida is still very important. It’s the best state for skill positions and not bad for QBs. Hopefully Emory Williams can impress and start. It would be cool to highlight instate talent. That why Restrepo has been a fan favorite, along with his production.

[@MrPrime39773]

Emory doesn't seem to have a long ball. They better get the best defense on the field if Emory starts.

CONGRATS MALACHAI

[@PastorDanWhite]

I think Miami would have made a better showing in the CFP than SMU and Clemson did. Plus, the excitement of having Heisman candidate Cam Ward would have been fun to watch.

[@miguelvillar2044]

I’m very Pro Emory, but I think are gonna need another QB from the portal. Judd will likely transfer once Emory is the starter after spring. I also worry that an injury to Emory could leave us with a true freshman starter in Nickel or Judd if he doesn’t transfer. I think we need an experienced backup with starting experience just in case Emory misses games next year. Either way, I think Emory should earn the job in a true QB battle. That’s one he’s poised to win though. I think QB is now a spring concern though. We need to see how this battle plays out.

[@jasonbridges312]

Emory is good to go. We have the run game and line to back him up. Just need to tighten the defense back up

[@johndeaton7968]

He better start looking for a defense🤷‍♂️

[@PastorDanWhite]

Starting Luke Nickel against the Irish and Gators would be like New Orleans having to start rookie Spencer Rattler against Green Bay yesterday. Disaster. The Saints were shut out.

[@rfdagreat9207]

Mendoza has committed to Indiana. So with that; I see Emery Williams as the potential starter. I do not know of any other good QB pick in the portal. Mario could choose someone to add depth to the QB room. But I don’t see anything else.

[@JosephOnorati-wd1nr]

[@UlisesS-t4l]

That rumor was rather interesting to me. His game might be a good fit in the QB room as an insurance policy.

[@jeffwatson151]

Emory is more than ready; let's not forget he's an E;ite 11 dynamo that outperformed another recruit we wanted Rashada out there. plus he's surrounded by talented skill and a bunch of backs we all know that a young quarterbacks best friend is a good running game and we have that a stable of backs that could start ANYWHERE with a solid line let's give Emory the keys.

[@harolddecker4666]

Would you take Quinn Ewers if he decides to play another year?

[@LockedOnCanes]

I would be intrigued, yes

[@shawnandrews329]

Bruce, we don't need Martinez returning. If he does return, he may have a smaller role because Jordan Lyle is emerging as RB1 and, at minimum, will get significantly more carries in 2025.

[@TimTaylor-b6b]

He's no Cam Ward, but he is an awesome PP QB !! He will embrace this opportunity and get the U into the playoff.

[@richardalanlovell]

Emory Williams should be given the chance to start: he’s been patient, is talented and has proven he has the intelligence to win. Give him the reigns!

[@ecpi17]

Emory won’t hesitate to hit the check down.

[@TheU33901]

The only thing that matters is winning and if that means getting a QB in the portal then you do it. If you dont care about winning then watch the SEC teams keep winning and root for them.

[@victorweller9762]

Let’s focus on our ACC schedule

[@malcolmjones27]

It's not about having earned it. It's about who's the best player or option to start as QB. If it's Emory then so be it. I don't like Mario but he's absolutely right to look into the portal for any possible transfer that could come in and compete and potentially start. This is a competition. The best player should start.

[@kevinporter9444]

Yes Malik Bryant and Blount.

[@Herb...StateChamps]

This offseason is exposing just how many casual fans the Canes have. Some ppl are blatantly hoping for the program's failure if their personal vision of the "right moves" isn't implemented. With Such weak attitudes no wonder it is easy for low-IQ rivals to troll certain members of our fanbase…

[@stephenhill1131]

True, if you look at how many people or "fans" that started commenting on this page about half way thru the season that the majority are couch coaches, trolls or people just looking for a reason to spew their criticism. I will say that it's a good thing because they know the U is doing good things and I love seeing them butt hurt and making themselves look like goofballs for the sake of argument.😂😂

Even tho I’m a cane 4L born n raised in dade county I can’t stand the Alabama hate. Bama my second favorite team for personal reasons. (Fell in love wit that boy Mark Ingram in 08-09 & been on the bandwagon ever since & plus my cousin got excepted and went there). The hate is crazy tho. We ran college football at one point so we always be quick to fall bk on that right? Well bama ran college football at one point too & way more recently than us in the sec which is king period. Especially in the trenches. They deserve to be in there over smu & Indiana too for sure. If they played in the sec they wouldn’t stand a chance. You cannot say that about us tho. Cause first of all we have an sec o line & our QB an offense are the best in the country so you can’t tell me we wouldn’t of put up 35-40 & a better fight then they did in the playoffs.

[@UlisesS-t4l]

Defense!..Defense!.. for sure. We might get our answer on the DC after the bowl game ...but looks like they might be keeping him.

[@jmiller9972]

Don't kid yourself we still need a quarterback. A good offense can overcome a bad defense but a good defense can't overcome a bad offense in this day and age. The perfect example of that this past season was Miami and Oklahoma. Definitely fix the defense but we MUST keep improving the offense in order to win 10 games again next season
