Future QB.. Issue?

If Vad Lee isn't the starter bye Halloween, and we are not still in the division race, I think CPJ can pack his bags. Everyone--EVERYONE-- were all in for Vad Lee. If we are struggling, and Tevin is yanked in favor of Lee, and Lee can't cut it, then what do Tech fans have to hang on to? What would that say about CPJ's ability to recruit, develop talent, and basically put a quality product out on Grant Field?

Word on the streets is Justin Thomas is wrecking our defense during practice...they have a hard time containing the edges with him on the scout team. He's also been a problem on offense, as JT is so fast he's actually screwing up our timing! From reports, it sounds like he's a highlight play waiting to happen.

Vad better take advantage of this year...

Very true.

Take it FWIW because I have seen neither of these guys on the college football field, ever.

In watching HS film over and over, I don't see a big difference in the throwing abilities of VL and JT. VL is potentially a very good passer, no doubt. Maybe many of us got dazzled by JT's runs and forgot that he really made a lot of impressive throws on his tape, many of them after scrambling like hell to keep a play alive, some of them from the pocket. As always we should let competition take place and play the kid who gives us the best chance to win regardless if it engenders an unwanted transfer or not.

At this point in time I am not ready to call SD a QB. His instincts, field vision, pocket poise, and throwing accuracy just haven't yet appeared. I hope they finally do this year and we can have a wide open battle next year. I am sorry to say that I just don't see it happening. So..........the battle appears to be coming down to VL and JT. In no way shape or form do I think VL has the thing wrapped up based on everything I have heard. If I had to guess right now, my gut tells me that JT wins out. Just a hunch, nothing more.

I'm witholding judgement on JT until I see him. If he can pass, then hell yeah. I like my QB homeruns to typically come from the air with ground homeruns coming from one of the three running backs. I don't think a good running QB is what is holding this offense back. Hell, the leading rusher last year was an unathletic QB! But a QB that can pass is a force multiplier.

I don't have any worries about VL learning the option. He barely ran it in the spring game and when he did, it was with a terrible OL that got blown up. I still don't understand how hard it is to learn to make one option read in the course of several months and hundreds of reps. I just don't get it.

So do you think that if Vad emerges as the starter, JT will transfer? Cause it seems to me like CPJ likes starting guys as RS JRs, Synjyn will be a RS JR, and when JT would be up he would be one as well.

And this is just one tiny facet of what we run and has nothing to do with recognizing stunts by the defense. It's plainly obvious to me why this offense takes A LONG TIME to master.

DAMN

It's just a playbook. Everybody has a playbook...Well, besides us.
