Typical East Coast bias. :rolleyes:

Thanks for putting this thread in the main forum, now let's see what the future holds. :D

uh...ever look at stats? VT gives less yards a game than any pac 10 team and less points a game than all but 2 of them and one is stanford and the other oregon. the average pac 10 team gives up over 400 yards and 20+ points a game, its not bias its just fact

2 of the top 4 teams in the BCS are from the Pac10.

Just sayin'.

Yeah. I would say the only thing that concerns me the most about tonight is Stepfan Taylor running the ball vs our suspect run defense at times, he could potentially setup Luck to have a good night. VT has a very very solid secondary. 3rd in the country in interceptions. With giving up just under 200 Passing yards a game. If Luck can be successful in primetime vs a solid secondary, it would be a step forward for something to be happy about.

However, I agree with Calebdv. Tyrod Taylor has become a very solid passer and is very Vick esk in his shiftiness and vision but with better passing efficiency and should be looked as a QB for the NFL and nothing else... I also think if were looking for a CB for the future, everyone watch Jayron Hosley tonight, he wont come out til 2012 but.. hes a shutdown corner and is tied for the lead in INTs.

David Wilson is a great RB/KR and is also fun to watch.

Im looking forward to watching both Tyrod and Luck but for 3 1/2 hours tonight I will despise Luck and Harbaugh. Go Hokies.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
