Maalik Murphy unfucked Duke, works his next miracle at Oregon State

This is... not accurate.

Maalik has always had NFL talent, but what he needed more than anything were in-game snaps. Experience. Time spent in live game situations reading the defense and making throws. He wasn't going to get that here while riding pine behind two 5-star QBs, which is why he's left.

Now he's had a full season of being The Guy, and if you watched, you can see the growth.

But now he's in his money season. He needs exposure. He needs scouts to see him do the things he did at Duke for a team that actually gets prime time broadcasts.

And NIL money, too. It's nice to have.

And there's going to be mutual interest. There's plenty of teams that are very good that don't have a QB better than he is. He knows that. They know that. You and I know that. They know that he knows, and he knows that they know he knows. We know that Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a very knowledgeable fandom.

I like Maalik but he’s not an NFL QB. He has limited mobility and cannot read defenses and isn’t accurate enough to overcome that. He has an NFL arm but so did plenty of others who sucked. He won’t get drafted and won’t last in the league.

Some of the posts on here are fucking crazy. Oregon? USC? Are you guys so far in the tank for a player that you can't see stupid when it is slapping you in the face? Lincoln Riley knows QBs and has helped multiple guys win the Heisman and go early in the 1st. He'll have his pick of the litter at the QB spot. Jesus Christ. Similarly, Oregon can buy whoever the fuck they want at QB. You think the guy they're going to put recruiting and NIL effort into is Maalik Murphy? 

This shit is bizarre. I get cheering for a dude when he goes elsewhere, but putting someone this mediocre up on a pedestal is ridiculous. Never mind, also, that the dude is a fucking statue. Have folks never watched the offensive schemes deployed by Riley or Stein?

Have you seen Michigan's QB room?

So......other than that....there's a chance?

Also nuts. Duke is his ceiling. If he went to Ole Miss they’d instantly regress.

Joey bought Spencer Sanders, an entrenched starter, to put him on the bench for his last year of eligibility. Joey don't give a fuck. It it helps fine, if he's on the bench, whatever.

Auburn offered Miller Moss $1.7MM. Mizzou offered him $1MM+. I think he’s going there. Michigan only offered him $750k because they’re getting someone better than Moss. Murphy would be buried on the depth chart there - next year. There is zero chance he’d get a look at Michigan, USC, Oregon or Ole Miss. That is crazy talk.

Ok, but Ole Miss isn’t offering Maalik, a middling QB. They have Sanders and Walker Howard. Some of yall have zero concept of where MM ranks in terms of talent and ability.

Interestingly, I have a friend whose son is looking to move from SC to Duke. SC is not going to take Maalik. They have too much talent coming in. MM wouldn’t move from Duke without a defined home.

curious if he’s transferring for a pay day or to keep improving.

Psh, you don't just win 9 games when your schedule is

They missed Clemson, Syracuse and Louisville in conference. Their 5 conferences wins were a combined 24-36 and their non-conf was ass 21-27)

Good for him...but sucks, I would have loved to see Duke fuck up Ole Miss's Bowl season and end the "we should have made the playoffs talk"

Same. I’m really happy Maalik found success as a starter after his time at Texas. But I watched a couple Duke games this season, and “fine” is about how I would describe what I saw.

I don’t think he’d be a starter at a school like Oregon. But what the fuck do I know.

Expand  

Yeah he was fine.  Don't blame him for taking a payday or thinking he could improve somewhere.

I’m sure you’d love to see Dak Prescott develop into a Top 10 QB too, but you’re an idiot dreamer.

Came here to post something similar.  Duke is #53 in Sagarin, 0-1 against the top 10 and 0-2 against the top-30.

AND - 
They beat NW by 6, UConn by 5, UNC by 1, FSU by 7, VT by 3, and Wake by 6 on a last second TD.  Duke is a 6-6 team that overperformed expectations.

Yea didn’t get either of those schools at all. 
I don’t know anything about OUs new OC but I could see a school like that looking for him. Big enough to be able to throw some money at him but in such dire straits that they are desperate for anyone who’s decent to play the position.

We don't know the real story, but since he probably won't make the NFL, I don't understand how this makes sense for him.

Better to stay at Duke and make those connections and opportunities that are unmatched. That school network is unreal. 

More power to him, though.

Maalik's main problem is his lack of mobility, and that's made all the more frustrating by his appearance. If that guy had even decent athleticism you'd be looking at a college Jalen Hurts type. He's just not anywhere near as good a passer/facilitator to make up for being unable to challenge teams with his legs. I'm thinking Diaz ushered him out to look to upgrade.

smu gave them SIX turnovers and their offense turned that into a whopping zero points.  one of the craziest stats of the year and seriously hard to do.

Expand  

And Duke missed an extra point with little to no time on the clock that would have won it.  Instead OT and a loss

I think he ends up at UCLA or one of the Arizona schools.  Someone has lined up NIL bids for him that Duke isn’t willing to match.  My guess on the backup is he was told he wasn’t starting or had to earn the bowl game start and hit ejection. Not sure though.

You sir do not seem to be familiar with the ubiquitous aggy Netwerk!  I suggest you look into it.  It's practically a money machine from what I hear.

“real story”? The same entity that pushed him to go into the portal before the playoff last year, as Texas’ backup QB, is the same entity pushing him into the portal now. And Murphy is complicit. They’re grabbing as much money from the highest bidder as they can. Feigning confusion about this just makes you guys look like dipshits.

I mean, they need a QB.... they prefer an experienced QB. All the QBs in the portal have warts or they wouldn't be in the portal. Who would you take over him??

I'm sure you're right. My point is the Duke pipeline and connections can supercharge your career, as my younger daughter can testify. Actually, his plan to grab as much money as possible DOES make sense, since his pro career looks limited at best.

Hes going to have positive connections with Texas, Duke, another school and hundreds of thousands or more in the bank. I think he might be okay 👌

True. He's probably played it as well as he could have given his skillset.

and I don't know about Miami, but doesn't Freeze's offense require a QB with a little bit of mobility?
