# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition if he wanted to go pro and transfer to a lower level it would have to be 1-AA/FCS level. if he did that he wouldn't have to sit out and would be in a league that's produced NFL-caliber quarterbacks (Flacco, Carson Wentz is the projected top QB this year)

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Man, if I were him I think I'd take my chances with 1 redshirt year at VT as opposed to 2 years mandatory bench duty anywhere else.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Exactly. It is a simpler system and seems to be more structured with fewer reads. If it lets him go out there and play without his mind being tied up because of a complex system, then he could very well be the best QB on the roster. Don't take this the wrong way, I am not saying he isn't smart or anything like that but it is no secret that Leoffler ran a complex offense that you had to have down 100% in order to really succeed in. Brewer came in as a pure QB and it took him 2 years to get it.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Valid points. I thought he had his sights set on the NFL. And maybe he could get there via a DIII school. As you pointed out, other QBs have. I wonder if that point is a bit of a red herring though. How many DIII QBs who were ultimately drafted to the NFL started their careers unable to crack the 2-deep at a middle-of-the-road DI school?
I would assume (I haven't researched it at all) that most of the DIII QBs who made it to the NFL started at the same schools from which they graduated. They were probably gifted players who flew under the radar in HS and weren't able to get the opportunity to compete at the DI level. They may have even spent their time in college with a chip on their shoulder, busting their tails to improve as much as they could to get to the next level. Maybe, if given the chance originally, they would have been stars no matter where they played college ball.
That's all conjecture, of course. If he really just wants to play and isn't expecting to get to the NFL then a transfer makes sense, I guess.
Around the time the couple relocated from Baltimore to Woodlawn in 1992, Vincent II, a son from Vincent's first marriage, moved in full-time.
This was something new I didn't know.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I believe, he would have to sit two years for transferring to an ACC school.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Love flows in both direction my friend.
I get your point but I would offer that for one, is it really a slam? Frankly, Motley last year was a long season and he didn't even start the entirety of it. That's not a slam on him, it's just my opinion of his performance last year. So is saying this season would be similarly long a slam? I don't think so. It's simply a negative perspective. A slam would be like what that other guy did on social media saying Motley is " a bum" when James Gayle stepped in. That is a slam. Simply having a negative opinion does not make it a slam.
secondly, despite no one having seen any practice one could make a reasoned argument and have discourse, as I demonstrated. There is enough information without having seen any practice to make such a debate already.
Again, I want to say I didn't intend that to be at you. More that I think the idea that we can't ask vatech03 to explain his perspective before reverting to the coaches know best mantra is the wrong tact to take. Otherwise, if this spring is any indication on how much Fuente is willing to release to the press, topics here are gonna get seriously dull fast during offseason.
What did us no showers ever do to you?
So are you saying your email address is not chunkylover@aol.com?
Yea I miss that guy.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition it's going to be the exact same length regardless of who the QB is

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition Only time will tell. You have to wonder, though, where would he transfer to? If he's having trouble cracking the two deep at VT with two other lightly seasoned QBs why wouldn't he redshirt?
If he transfers he'll just have to start all over again with the 3rd offense in 3 years. Maybe some people view that as a good thing. Maybe not. I don't really know.
If he redshirts and uses the off year to learn as an understudy and be coached by a proven QB coach he'll be setting himself up better for success, one would think. He'll still have 3 years of eligibility and, in all likelihood, the only possible person ahead of him would have only 1 year. So he rides the pine as QB2 for a season (with the potential to assume the starting role in the event of injury) and then could potentially have 2 full seasons as a starter at the D1 level. Presumably in an offense that, by then, will have more talent and will be more effective.
I guess my argument is that if he has his eyes set on the NFL and he truly believes he can get there he should be able to win the starting job at a D1 school. If he can't do that yet he's probably not ready for the NFL and I don't see how transferring anywhere else would speed up the process for him.
If he transfers I have to imagine he would be dropping down a level (DIII or Juco) to get playing time. That might be all he needs to further his career, but I doubt it.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition the guy could certainly transfer to a DIII school and get the spotlight he needs to catch NFL scouts eyes. I mean, aren't there a ton of NFL QBs who played at the sub-FBS level? Alternatively, say he's not good enough for the NFL. If the kid just wants to play some football and be the star for a little longer before real life hits, then going DIII is also a good option. There are lots of good schools, education-wise, that don't put out P5 level football teams.
Good clip. That looks like a really good way to develop awareness for the qb without having to plant him during practice, and he can play it until he gets it right.
Not knocking him, he might be the greatest coach in existence, but that is the role I seem to see him more than coach.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition That's actually an interesting thought. I guess if he really likes Scot that could be possible. Is that a move that VT would want to block? If so, could they?

Are you asking if Ernest Wilford is a Jacksonville Police Officer?
He's been on a couple of ride alongs. I have a 65 year old woman friend who has been on a few more than that, but she's not going to be a police officer. I'm all for Wilford, big fan of him and the large majority of police officers, but I guess I missed the part about him being a sworn cop.

# | Evans and Motley Lead Quarterback Competition, Shibest Takes Over BeamerBall Tradition I'd be surprised if he's back next year and doesn't transfer.
