Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted September 3 Moderators Share Posted September 3 Mentioned this on YouTube last night … but the Cam Ward recruitment flipped the script in the Sunshine State Ward picked Miami over FSU, that will be a season changing decision for the Hurricanes (along with two other big portal wins on O). FSU takes DJ U. after Ward goes with Miami. The Noles invested in a QB without accuracy and consistency his entire college career, and is not a playmaker. Huge drop off at QB from 2023 to 2024, and thus they can’t mask deficiencies on their team this season. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveycmd Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Hasn't Ward had consistency and turnover problems over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas fan in Georgia Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I just know their had to be a better option than DJU… Oregon state was able to mask his deficiencies bc of their line and Damien Martinez… Norvell doesn’t have that luxury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been a consistent passer and playmaker for me … never been lower than 64.1% completion percentage in a season. He was a playmaker on teams that weren’t nearly as talented as their opponents in the PAC-12. He’s had fumble issues … does try to do too much at times. He’s 10x the QB DJ U is 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkman_90 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 DJU stinks but the fsu defense has been pathetic. Getting dominated in the trenches by GT and BC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSU only had 8 rushing attempts by RB’s….yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatherofMinky Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Do you think it changes recruiting much for Miami though since Ward will only be there one year? It’s not like he was developed by Cristobal’s staff, this kid almost went pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Miami's issue is their schedule is so weak any loss will be looked at negatively. If I'm Miami, I keep swinging big in the portal and recruit enough HS kids to develop. They don't win on facilities, game day atmosphere and conference in the key recruitments. It's NIL and location. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NothinButDaHorns34 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Miami will have a “what the fu**?” Loss as per usual like every season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if Ward can put it together for a season. Napier and staff can't find their ass with two hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted September 4 Author Moderators Share Posted September 4 Ward only threw 7 INT's in 485 attempts last season BTW. Threw 15 in 950 attempts in two seasons at Wazzu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threw 15 in 950 attempts in two seasons at Wazzu I looked at his season stats and it seems Ward certainly hasn't been bad in the least. That said, I've read stuff saying he's made inopportune mistakes against good competition in big games. Maybe that's not really true. I haven't seen enough of him to say.
