i was still calling him fuh-sy-son until a few weeks ago
I think they nailed it right on the head. Virginia Tech is (arguably) the best defense in the country, easily within the top five. It's going to be the reason we're going to be competitive every game we play. Special teams is a bit of a mess right now and LT3 and the rest of the offense isn't good enough to win games on their own.
We're going to start the best QB we have, whoever he is, and no matter what year he is with the program.
I'm so aroused right now.

Oh who the hell am I trying to kid.

This thread just went from awesome to awesome x PI
Miami fans are getting a big head again. We need to give them a nice serving of humble pie when we enter Sun Life Stadium
does anyone else see the irony of potentially converting a QB to tight end?
I understand your position, and can see the logic in it as well. I, for one, would like to see what Leal can do on the field before handing the position over to a RS sophomore with a Wing-T background and no game experience. While I agree that Motley could be a stud, I do not expect him to earn the starting nod over Leal, though I do hope that Motley pushes Leal and that they all work together "as iron sharpens iron". If Leal struggles, there will always be several hungry young QB's behind him eager for the big stage.
I've heard this sentiment a lot regarding next year and while I understand where people are coming from, I disagree. You start the player that gives you the best chance to win. Period. If you've got two players who are equal in talent, then fine, start the younger of the two. But not if one is clearly better.
You can't just throw seasons away when you are trying to build a championship level team. Having one off year can destroy a recruiting class, which will have a multi-year impact on a program's ability to win the National Championship. If the National Championship is the ultimate goal, then bringing a young QB along by working them into games and giving them snaps in practice while also winning as many games as possible to help keep recruiting rolling is the correct recipe for success.
I feel like this title could be interpreted a few other ways...
I can't believe that first guy didn't even mention the GT game... But nice to get some serious love

Take this with a grain of salt, but I think it would be kind of dumb to start Leal in his sr year. If he starts that means we will have 3 diff qbs in consecutive years. And at qb you need continuity to get timing and rhythm down with wrs. I personally think they should choose a young qb next yr and just roll with him.
So, following the procreation plan laid out below, we'd have Coach Fuller coaching a team full of Fullers? Mind blown.
i'd heard from a friend with good sources back in the summer, bucky could very well end up at tight end.
smoke ... fire.
After Leal graduates we might have the biggest QB competition in a long time. Maybe even more than Tyrod-Glennon.
Agreed.
Well timing is important.
He definitely won't start next year, I'll be shocked if anyone besides Leal does. That will also be Ford's redshirt year. In 2015, you'll have 3 QB's vying for two spots. The QB that doesn't get in the top two will almost certainly be the odd man out the rest of their career at Tech.
Brandon has already showed he has the athleticism to make plays, and I think he has a good enough arm for an ACC QB. Right now he's working on learning the playbook and the offensive system. Bucky is working on how to throw the football. Brandon is much further along in his development and Bucky isn't likely getting the necessary reps in practice to catch Brandon in the fundamentals department. Brandon is likely to at least be the number 2 QB in 2015.
And Ford is Loeffler's guy. He's the player that Loeffler went out to get. Loeffler believes in him and knows what skill set he's looking for in a QB. Ford is a better thrower then Bucky already, IMO. If I had to guess right now, Ford will be the starter in 2015.
This is all wild speculation, that is likely to change dramatically once the spring scrimmages start back up and we see how improved Bucky and Brandon are.
Didn't Gray once say that Kyle could be a coach someday? I think Kyle is gonna be a hell of a DB coach to carry on the tradition of DBU.
Hey, do you think she gave LT3 a...nah. Nm

UCLA is on a roll but playing away on a Thursday night is going to be the bump in the road as the Bruins are already looking ahead to USC.
Saturday picks later...
I thought all the empty seats did a decent job of that...
