Is Freeman a scrambler? or does he have a better arm? What is the difference between him and Wright?

For the love of God, somebody help me.

From what I've read, they're the same kind of QB. Wright just chokes too much, so Freeman had a chance to take the job. The problem is, they're too similar, so Freeman is just as bad as Wright.

I'm still bummed about Noel Devine not coming to the U...but as a 'Cane fan I can't blame him for not coming given the past few seasons...

Whoever it is that plays QB ....I hope we can get back to being the powerhouse we were just a few years back.

"Freeman can throw" very astute observation there.

They did just as good in the spring game, so that's what I was basing my observation on.

Freeman is more mobile than Wright, but he averages 18 yards per game. Although that is better than wright, I still think he's more of a pocket passer, like Wright.

KSU...hasnt been any good since Michael Bishop was quarterback, lol

I watched Kirby play many times during his high school career. He is extremely adept at both running and throwing. The former coaching staff screwed up big-time by not naming him as the starting QB his sophmore season and letting him grow. Going to Miami was a huge mistake for him and he has had second thoughts about leaving as recently as last year. Hopefully, the new staff will give him a shot and he will be able to show what he can do.

Dinero what does black or white have to do with it?

That is like asking when the last time Miami had a white running back or WR? There is no relevance to that statement.

And FYI the last two African American QBs for the U were: Ryan Collins and Kenny Kelly.

Neither one really had a great career. And it had nothing to do with race. More about injuries and the rest of the team.

last black QB at Miami was Derrick Cruddup 2 years ago, played behind Dorsey and Berlin...id like to see them give Marve a fair shot, class status shouldnt have anything to do with it, look what Colt McCoy did last year.

Dinero...
When was the last time Miami has had a Hispanic QB??? NEVER!

I could go on and on about this topic but it will get me NOwhere.
Sure you're statement may be valid but it's not about a racial thing...black, white, hispanic, asian...MIAMI needs a good QB and that's what it's all about. They need a leader that can pass, run, scrabble, etc...and they haven't had a solid QB since Dorsey. They're have been a lot of letdowns and we all know this.
It's time we get QB that can put up 7's and get W's!
I just want to see Miami back in a major bowl game and win a championship game.

Miami will be back to its old form real soon. Shannon is recruiting from the best area SOUTH FLORIDA BABY! Everyone will be back on the band wagon. Nothing better than the Orange Bowl at night. Keep the tradition! 58 game home win streak!!!!!!!! They'll be back.

Lostsurfer | 07/11/07, 05:25 PM

Thanks canesfan. I forgot about Cruddup. Mostly because he never played.

My mistake there.

Kdawg | 07/11/07, 05:30 PM

ha no problem just trying to help out...i cant wait to see what we've got going on with james and cooper in the backfield though, it should at least take some of the pressure off the QBs

canesfan | 07/11/07, 08:23 PM

If it helps......we just got a "Commit" from a black QB. *shrugs*

Mixed Nutz | 07/12/07, 01:58 AM

It really doesn't matter who the starting QB is going to be because the
defense is good enough to carry this team.

Carry it to what? The Starkist Weedeater Bowl? For Miami University, that is a meltdown season.

According to our data there is a preponderance of recent postings contending that we are internet losers.
