I'd be willing to bet we would have seen a different Marcus Davis with Moorehead as his coach.

Was he really explosive? He was a freak athlete for sure but inconsistent at best, and not a team player. He may not have had lengthy dropski fits like current WRs but he dropped a lot of passes that hit him squarely in the hands. I just remember Sherman always saying this line but had Davis been benched then Fuller would have been moved up to starter earlier and thus much more productive. Younger WRs would have been forced up as well, giving them more experience which would mean better production this year for them. He was never held accountable for his lack of effort, except for that one half of one game, and it showed. He knew coach was looking for him to breakout... always waiting for him to breakout. Problem was his only real breakout was made into an infamous video of his sheer lack of effort.

Davis was explosive but not dependable. I'll take dependable every time. Give me Corey, Coale and Byrn over Davis any day of the week.

People seem to forget that Marcus Davis was far to explosive to leave off the field. Having a player of his ability at the WR position would have made a huge difference in the passing attack this season, regardless of what blocking shortcomings he may have.

He also never had as bad a case of dropski's like everyone else at the position did this year.

Larry Coker won because of Butch Davis.

Viva el "Lil Sweetness!"

I was alluding to the success of that relationship more so than making a comparison between the two players. But yes I do agree that Murphy is not a Wilson.

But I like to think it's better to have more competition next year. Maybe he's not the guy and Leal or Motley is but I like having that opportunity that he is.

You expect a horse to know the difference?

We're just lucky that outside of a normal horse's areas of expertise that include beer and fillies, HOAT also knows treadmills and Hokie football.

I wholeheartedly agree, he is stinkin'.

Even if we don't add any more, this QB competition will be something else

I get what you're saying though but I think a starter rises to the challenge. When Logan came in to make that one throw against Miami, he made it. I know it was a tough situation but I think there would have been some spark, or highlight there to demonstrably say: "Yeah, this Leal kid. It was a tough game but I can see him getting it done."

I just didn't get that feeling. Maybe others did though.

I'd like this a heck of a lot. It'd give us an experienced (not saying Tom Brady or anything, but the man's taken game reps), athletic option that would bridge the gap nicely between Thomas and Ford/Durkin. I like what was said on TSL about his athleticism, basically that he'd give the rebuilding OLine a larger margin for error. Defenses would be hesitant to blitz him and he'd have a better chance than Leal or Thomas of getting out of trouble in the event of a breakdown. I'm very, very interested to see where this kid ends up.

Corey Fuller and Marcus Davis would both have started this year if they had returned

I agree with everything you just said, except for this. Davis wouldn't even play a down if Moorehead was his coach. He made it clear, to start at WR you need to work your ass off and block. These are the two things that eluded Davis the most.

Corey Fuller would have been the man though.
