Now that I have shown you the actual depth chart!!!


Our QB position is a shocker, we have completely  shifted our positions around... 
I must say that did love Morris during his tenure as starter, but at the end of the day, can you blame everyone of those INT's on Jacory, and has he performed so low, that he should now be third string going into camp?


If so, it would be one of the biggest flops for any QB in the history of the U.. This history of College football.. He was knocked out cold in the Virginia game, but all being said, he threw the same last season, as he did the season before, and we still ended up with the same record.  His throwing has neither been better/or worse since his so called hiesman campaign 2 seasons ago, when he went on the incredible stretch first five games of the season.


It amazes me how much scrutiny a kid Jacory's age can take, being on a team that has been out performed in every aspect of the game, for almost 5 years now.  I have , and always be a die hard Miami fan, and know much about the program, living and growing up in Coral Gables. But it is disrespectful and disgusting to blame the team's faulty performance for the past 5 years, on the QB play, which has been done ever since Dorsey left.


What about our WR's ?? Who else did anything for us last year, than Leonard Hankerson??  Byrd,Benjamin MIA??? Dropped passes? And epic Routes which they couldn't run for their lives...  I love our team to death but, Jacory was on point early in the season until he was knocked out.


Then comes the Morris Era...


I think his potential is out of this world... For a team that had a weak schedule late in the season... But either way, I wont knock the hustle... He did outperform Jacory during his time at starter, but then again he did not face the likes of OSU, FSU may I save you the rest of the schedule?! Thanks


I hope that these two have a die hard competition during the upcoming spring practices, but all being said, are we really looking at the era of Spencer Whipple being mentioned? Seriously?


The era of Spencer Whipple??


Who is this guy? The ex coaches son? Yea and what? 
I saw this guy throw for a hundred yards in 3 games combined... Including FAMU..
OK AND?
I understand the competition that Al Golden will endure our program and all players, which is something I like, but don't discourage fans, players, and boosters of our program with some surprising call such as this.. Pre-Workout or not, this is foolish..


Dont forget about Tate Focier as I believe will give us one of the deepest depth at QB in years here at the U, and one of the strongest in years in the NCAA


Have A good Day Miami fans, The sun is shining somewhere..
