Why Hurricanes changed QBs
According to a Miami person, here are four reasons Kirby Freeman won the Hurricanes starting quarterback job: superior mobility to Kyle Wright, a knack for getting his team into the end zone during drills, strong leadership skills and a willingness to take accountability for mistakes. We're told that Freeman was preferred by most of the staff.

Wow ! Someone who took accountability for his mistakes? That's a rarity in today's society. I hope he finds much success at Miami.

Da U will be back. I'm a Wolverine fan at heart, but I got family who graduated from the U so I definitely give the Canes their props.

Translation- our offensive line blows and watching Kyle Wright get sacked 10x by FSU again would cause the Cane fans to riot so put the guy in there who can possibly run away long enough to throw the ball out of bounds

I was always rooting for Wright. Miami had a solid team and I had hoped Wright would grab the reins and and run the tables in the ACC. I guess someone else will get a chance now.

It's good to see that a coach recognize when a player, especially a QB, is detrimental to his team. Most coaches are too headstrong to replace a former starting QB. Maybe Shannon will do alright.

Wright has had the starting QB label & has been terribly inconsistent & holds onto the ball to long, seems to take the sack & w/some QB mobility, good RB's, & decent WRs & w/Miami's stellar defense they will easy get 9-10 wins vs probably only 8 wins w/Wright who seems to sulk if things aren't going well.

Been stuck in the past lately xxx84xxx? Your rhetoric is so old, predictable, and lame, it bores the hell out of me. Go be an ignorant cynic someone else, you douchbag.
As I've said in another thread, I'm glad they're giving Freeman a shot, but I worry that it is a lesser-of-two-evils situation. Neither of these guys have proven to me that they're capable of being real good, it's moreso been a case of which is worse? Either way I don't see us having stablility behind center. I do agree Freeman deserved a chance though, Wright has had plenty!
GO CANES!!!
