I don't think anybody is going to fry you for that, @hart2chesson.

Manny's quote about Maalik not needing to be a "savior" had more to do with getting him to understand he didn't need to be perfect over the last few weeks.

Duke's program doesn't need a savior -- at QB or head coach -- but it desperately needed to upgrade its QB position with Riley Leonard's departure and Tyler Cherry's flip. Going into a season with a sophomore who'd started 5 games (Loftis) and a redshirt sophomore who's dealt with recurring shoulder issues (Belin) is a recipe for disaster. So, if you need an upgrade, might as well get the best one possible -- which happened to be a former top-150 recruit who Manny has known since he was in middle school.

Conor you know NO ONE on this board is pulling harder than me for Duke. Thus, I am pulling like hell for Maalik to kill it at qb!! Just hope he can master the touch ball on short, mid-range passes.

Also I have been guilty of looking at this thru Grayson's eyes. Really like the grit the kid showed last year, and hope we don't lose him. Henry too. Conor thanks!

so why is no one crying that Belin (who was the #2 qb till injury last year) was recruited over and per some has lost a spot on the depth chart. i really like hart and liftee but have just never agreed on this one take. heck Belin beat (a better than unc) nc state team with only one shoulder. i am just happy that we have 3 good qb's in our room at the moment

If we "don't need a savior," why did Diaz over recruit Murphy from the portal over Loftis? Guys I am sorry, but I saw Grayson's upside last year. I saw a qb who took Drake Maye to the wire in Chapel Hill. Huge gamble by Duke to send Loftis to portal.

The so-called qb battle was never in doubt. Manny knew the day MM signed, he had his starting qb.Go ahead, fry me, "make my day." Lol......

Hi ya Boog!! Welcome back for another "down the stretch drama" with the Braves. Took two of three from the Phillies (somewhat surprisingly), and remain 1.5 games up on Mets for final wildcard.

Should be able to increase lead this weekend. Mets @ Padres, and Nationals in Atlanta. Of course, nothing comes easy this year for our injury riddled troops!!!
