We're actually a good team

We just have a terrible quarterback that costs us games. I know it's all gloom and doom right now and people/fans are doubting our team but it's unfair to say this team sucks. Our quarterback sucks at playing quarterback, but our team does not suck.

Last year, you could justify Logan's terrible play by saying the system sucked and the guys around him sucked. That's not the case this year. We don't have the best pieces in the nation around him but we do have players that can make plays when given the opportunity to do so. Problem is, our quarterback doesn't give them the opportunity to do so. When he plays bad or horrendous, our team can't overcome his mistakes.

This post isn't motivated solely by today's game either so don't comment with a bunch of excuses like Journell missed last week, Meyer dropped passes, we can't run, etc. This is motivated by the horrendous play of our quarterback over the last two seasons. This is also motivated by a lot of fans/people saying our team sucks which is not the case. If Logan didn't absolutely suck last week, we definitely beat Duke. There's really no denying that. If he didn't absolutely suck this week, we probably would have won today. Logan's the problem with our team, not our team.

Perceive this as Logan bashing if you'd like but that's not my intention. I'm actually defending our team because they need it. The Hokies don't suck, we just have a serious problem at the most important position of the team. Is it the coaches fault for continuing to play him? I don't know, maybe. Is Mark Leal really that fucking bad? I don't know. But I do know that we have a good team and I know that I can't wait for Logan Thomas to not be my quarterback.

And if Logan and/or his family reads this, I'm sorry and I have no doubt that Logan is a great guy. But my relationship with Logan starts and ends on the football field. As the qb of a major college football team, you are given national spotlight and must be able to take the criticism that comes with those lights. And as a paying member of Hokie Nation, I'm allowed to voice my opinion.
