definitely don't count on the second coming of Cam Newton. He, like Vick, is a very rare specimen. Vick was once-in-a-lifetime rare. Cam may not be quite that but he's certainly once-in-a-generation rare. I doubt very seriously if Evans will even come close to being as good as Cam. Would love to see it. Don't think its fair to expect, though. I think it is more realistic to expect some early hiccups in his career. I think our offense will be better this year but it will have growing pains and there will be some ugly performances.

Another thing they mentioned is that Evans could come out and throw 4 picks to UT and then go on to win 10 games. With our schedule that's not a completely unreasonable expectation. I doubt 10 wins is in the cards for us this year though. I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one pick and at least one fumble lost from Evans against UT. And I'm certain he'll improve over the course of the season and help this team get 7 or 8 wins.

Not sure we'll ever know why he was dismissed, just have the feeling that last season would have gone better with him at the starting job we were expecting him to fill.

Also Hosley ("at that time" puts Hosley slightly past them, though) and Brandon Flowers who almost left two years early but then only left one year early.

add 10 TD's to VT's production and we probably beat Duke, ECU, UNC and Pitt.

Actually, we'd go undefeated!

3 TD's for OSU
2 TD's for ECU
1 TD for Pitt
2 TD's for Miami
1 TD for Duke
1 TD for UNC
___
10 TD's

Simple math!

Hearing that just makes me so sad. I just want to give him a hug and then go get revenge. I tend to think that if whatever he did was so bad, he wouldn't be so eager to come back and visit so often.

Memphis ran it 18 more times than VT while producing 10 more TD's and 262 more yards. That's massive IMO, add 10 TD's to VT's production and we probably beat Duke, ECU, UNC and Pitt./em>

WADR, I just never understand how one can reasonably just transfer stats to two totally different situations and predict the result. There are way too many variables to come to conclusions. Memphis got those stats playing Missouri State, Kansas, Bowling Green, USF, Tulsa, Tulane...
We would never have a schedule like that. And even if we somehow managed to play the exact same teams, there would STILL be variables like injuries, weather, time of year played, etc. that would make comparisons, true and accurate comparisons, impossible.
We can't possibly know for sure that the Fuente offense will get those extra 10 TDs against totally different, and I would argue, better, defenses.

I think our offense will be better, (let's hope so, for the love of God) but I don't think you can just "add 10 TDs to VT's production" because Fuente had that kind of success at Memphis. I suppose you could kind of reach, and say that he has better players at VT with which to do it, so the theory holds. But I still think the variables are just too fluid and diverse to ever predict results that easily.

Now that you're taken, all the ladies be like,

Congratulations, Brian and remember

NO.

FALL.

WEDDINGS.

He definitely sounded worried and hearing Cam Newton's name mentioned got me hype as well. Those guys were good to point out that they weren't saying Evans is as good or will be as good as Cam, but it definitely doesn't hurt to have a slight comparison. September can't get here soon enough.
