Damn. As soon as I brag on him he goes out there and misses EVERY throw on a do or die drive capped off with a hideous INT. LOL

at 700k a year, he is straight trash for 2 years. he had a partial year at baylor and the 1st bit at vt looked like a real qb. after that he has been absolute ass. as a passer, think pro pickles but even worse. he is a glorified RB. VT should have let him go after last year and moved on but didnt. i hope the coach says f' it and sits him for the year.  cant let that 1 qb hold the rest of the program back. 

 

you were ok with him in spurts this game, thats always drones, a few good plays but awful otherwise. you can take the project cause its like DJ, everyone thought he was the guy and he wasnt. killed FSU last year, and drones killing VT for another damn year.

I was impressed by his game a bit today but I see what you’re saying.

Gamecock fans going to be hard to handle until October gets here.  They could flirt with a real high ranking by the end of Sept.  Path seems there to flirt with a top 5ish spot 

Not sure that combo of Shula playcaling+ that OL + no Rocket is going to work in October though.  Sellers going to have to be Cam I think in terms of what is asked of him and that body

TX/OSU had no offense.  LSU/Clem had no offense.  No watch Beck channel Cam Ward and have some insane passing day since this was viewed as the least hyped top 10 matchup

What about a catch in the middle of the field? You do you want them to maintain control as they fall? 

Thats the catch? Having different rules for the endzone vs everywhere else. 
 

*I’m not arguing one way vs the other.  But a catch has to be universal rules IMO regardless of location of play 

One is happening in the field of play and one isnt.

Ngl seeing them land LaNorris after suffering through DJU hurts. I have never been impressed with Cade either, but am hoping he can win me over this season.

what about the that bomb VT threw to #0 after that SC ruling.  That should have been a catch? It was to the sideline and he didn’t control it to the ground….he fell out of bounds? 

it does get logically weird to have to control it to the ground if you aren’t out of bounds….but don’t if you are out of bounds or in the endzone.   

I think you either leave the rule as is or you have to say the ground can’t cause an incompletion.   If given those two choices, the flawed first is better I think.  

whatever the rules are…teams are going to feel screwed I would think

I think they just needed a couple weeks to figure out a RB.   You can’t play good SEC teams and just run the Clemson pass attack all game long.   Cade sort of setup to fail there.  

Cade isn’t Watson or Lawerence.  Miles better than DJU.   Cade probably in the Taj Boyd tier for me.  Both can/could really play well….it just rarely was in the big game (Cade did play well in that playoff game but outside of that he seems to panic a bit in the bigger ones)

I like Sellars.  I talk mad poo about the Gamecocks but that’s just for giggles.  My people are Gamecocks.   Family played football there too.  They can win every game but 1 each year as far as I am concerned

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
