If that's the case, Tyrod Taylor has exactly zero years of "true" experience. He's now regarded as one of the best QBs we've ever had here.
AMAZING POST!!!! Great insight and perspective. What we need is the LT3 from two years ago against MIA where he had an almost perfect game after several poor performances. Time for a reprise.
LETSSS GOOOO...........HOOOKKKIIEESSSSSSSS. So pumped can it be Saturday already? I can smell the grill, sausages, hot dogs, beer, vodka,tequila and a lot of SOUR MIAMI fans after we beat them in Primetime wearing ALL White Everything.!!
Funny thought- How many times in that video do we wear all maroon? But Nike or our athletic department won't bring it out anymore...but hey we have Helmets a plenty!!!!

# | Bitter blog - Fuller healing, expect more Nicolas & don't badmouth Logan around his OL When we put Dadi in BC changed their play to the opposite side and brought 2 at him. BC's Offensive coordinator said they knew exactly when Dadi came on and off the field.
SO basically they were scared of him and tried to hide like little girls and it worked

# | Bitter blog - Fuller healing, expect more Nicolas & don't badmouth Logan around his OL UMMM Can anyone tell me why DADI only played 7 plays, when we had a team running over our tiny linebackers and DBs all day, what are they thinking?
If I could give you a turkey leg I would but I don't have my 20 yet. But that was spot on, couldn't agree more
Not sure I understand the hatred spewed toward a guy that was giving his 100%
Therein lies the problem. He wasn't giving 100%. Even if he was injured as you are suspecting and giving 100% of what he was capable, it was still a lackluster effort. That is why he gets criticized.
Tom Brady
VT offensive incompetence
No running game
VT new system
Three sets of leading receivers in 3 years.
OL play that is beyond inconsistent
Defenses who aren't afraid of the running game
Defenses who aren't afraid of the receivers
Defenses who want LT to run so they can beat the hell out of him (like VT does to GT QBs)
Anyone who thinks this is all on LT is not capable of complex thought. And thats ok. Or it was until we decided to outsource all those jobs to China. Point is it takes 22 players to play a football game. It takes at least two decent offensive coaches to put that same game on. Putting it all on one kid is weak sauce intellectually.
Duke didn't really blitz at all.

I did not realize that the Flying Spaghetti Monster was a real thing.
I thought Davis was playing hurt. I have to imagine the coaches knew Davis was playing hurt. For chrissake my 11 year old daughter plays hurt all the time but I have to figure out ways to know she is playing hurt. I have the luxury of taking her off the field, whereas Davis and the coaches probably did not. Davis and the coaches played the "I'm not injured" charade so that Davis could have a strong SR year to point to and the team would play better. Didn't he have to get shoulder surgery this year to fix what was ailing him?
Frankly without Davis, I think our offense is significantly worse last year. How'd we play that half he was held out? Once defenses started to scheme for our O without Davis, how would that have worked out?
We don't have deep talent at alot of these positions. An injury or a guy playing hurt can really impact the team's performance.
Not sure I understand the hatred spewed toward a guy that was giving his 100% with some pretty messed up shoulders. Separated or dislocated or rotator cuff issues hurt ALOT. I'm pretty sure most of us wouldn't have the balls to play football with those types of issues.
JMHO
You have to think hard about that comment. He has 1/2 a year of TRUE experience. I am talking from the coaching standpoint. We all know O'cain was a moron and he spent no time trying to fix Logan's problems ie: chopping his feet, follow through after throw, getting through his progressions, and other simple things.
If O'cain had spent just 1 hour a week trying to fix things Logan would be much better instead he is learning on the fly. I bet for him its like learning to ride a bike all over again. He was told one thing and followed that for years and now its incorrect.
Same for the Thomas kid from Denver - he only played one year of Collegiate level football at Portland State, but was a standout basketball player. Heck of an athlete, but also has a heck of a QB!
"Logan is too good to NEVER run, and if used as a change up (instead of the work horse) Thomas could be devastating." - this sums it up pretty well. French and Mason make similar points.
We have had some spot success with our RBs and the plays are in the playbook, but Loeffler seems to have thrown that part of the Offense out. Using Logan as virtually the entire offense doesn't give us the best chance for success. Hopefully we will see a "balanced" attack this week and Logan puts it all together as well. Go Hokies - Beat Miami!!!

I do remember Glennon struggling with first year receivers, someone like Dryell Roberts I think, and it was his game against ECU that caused Beamer to reverse course on redshirting Tyrod (again) and yank it off.
To be fair, Thomas did have the luxury of throwing to two of the best receivers in school history in his first season as starters, but then that production dropped off last season. This season, I think the potential are there for there to be a dynamic corps. The hiring of Moorehead has paid off already this season with the emergence of Joshua Stanford and Willie Byrn. It's Knowles that has me nervous because most of Thomas' interceptions has targeted Knowles.
PUMPED!!!! SATURDAY NEEDS TO BE HERE NOW!
