I counted the 3 "revenue" games because of how bad he looked against MTSU last year and how sharp he looked this year, and because he didn't need to do much. Also counted UNC despite the 2 INTs because he threw for nearly 400 yards and 4 TDs and we didn't lose because of him. Still looking at...

We'll see. He played 6 or 7 games this year at that or close to that peak. Last thing any of us want is for him to go somewhere else and play like he did in '21. The "Mario the QB killer" narrative may become unrecoverable if he does that while at the same time we bring in a portal QB and he...

Offensive line/RB play or Mario?

TVD had a higher QBR at his peak (2021) than will Rogers ever did. But Rogers played for Mike Leach so they threw the ball a ton more.

And TVD 🤔?

If we moved to a Mike Leach air raid system, TVD would also thrive. Point is that with Mario, we have no idea how a QB will do here. Past performance isn't always an indicator of future performance when it comes to transfers due to coaching changes and scheme changes and the roster changes...

That's what I've been saying.. But I just don't have faith Mario will get it right. The worst case scenario is TVD leaves and does well and another QB comes in and regresses. That will be the nail in the coffin for him because he'll never be able to attract another high level QB again. It's...

Those numbers this year are mediocre. Only one game over 227 yards and 3 games total over 200 yards. 60% completion. 12 TDs in 8 games. -13 yards rushing. In '21 and '22 he had Mike Leach as his coach. I wouldn't expect him to replicate those numbers with Mario Cristobal as his coach just like...

I'm hoping that's what this year was. He had 2 shots to bring in an offensive system with the "best QB in the country". All he did was regress both years from 2021 and never saw a QB or offensive reach it's true potential. And that was with significantly improved OL play. Hopefully he's had...

If you're not sure if the problem is the OC or the QB, then it falls on the guy who makes $8mil a year. Both our QB AND our OC have proven they have very high ceilings. That means it's up to the man in charge to create that environment where they can constantly reach and/or push their ceiling...

I've been saying that. Our best opportunity at QB is TVD under a real OC without Mario meddling. We've seen his ceiling. I doubt we do better than that in the portal and even if we do, we have no guarantee that Mario doesn't break a new QB also. There's a chance here we could end up with double...

What about 2023 TVD games 1-4? And we better hope TVD doesn't return to '21 form under his next stop. Would basically prove Mario is a QB killer.

Under Mike Leach? Yes TVD could put up those numbers. Like I said, TVDs QB rating in 2021 was higher than Will Rogers ever was.

Why is Will Rogers such an upgrade over TVD? His huge years were under Mike Leach, the offense and QB guru. I doubt he ever replicates that kind of success under Mario. And TVD still had a better QBR at his peak (2021). At their peak, I'd rather have TVD.
