I want this guy to prove the first four weeks are not a ******* fluke.

5 games of straight dog **** is very concerning.

Miami played 3 dogs and 4 loss A&M the first 4 weeks. For me the first 4 weeks were a fluke. This team now looks like last years offense.

Between the pick in the endzone against NC State and the obscene underthrow against UVA, it'd be really easy to convince me that something is significantly physically wrong with TVD, and for whatever reason we still think that gives us the best chance. Those were insane misses. So, either he's really hurt, he's gone Rick Ankiel, or he's shaving points like in Blue Chips.

Anticipation.

He looked pretty healthy pregame. Don’t get me wrong he’s not 100%, but he’s not last year hurt. At least he doesn’t show it in warm ups when he’s moving around and throwing 30 yards without and issue. I think it’s mental.

i believe he's more injured than anyone knows.

And that is affecting his mental

Two of those dogs are ranked in the Top 40 in defense.

That doesn’t mean they’d win the game, but for the offense I’d consider that a difficult matchup.

I think having a statue as a quarterback is really giving him fits. Tune masked a lot of **** last year, both on and off-schedule, with his mobility. That element is completely gone with TVD, obviously, and I think he’s struggling trying to tailor an offense with a kid who can’t move. And him being totally broken mentally sure isn’t helping either.

I dont think its being discussed enough how much our lack of mobility at QB is affecting the way defenses can play us. TVD was not the most mobile guy to begin with and now with the injuries he is a statue that also poses absolutely no threat to run. On running plays, ends are completely crashing down on the backs with literally 0 fear that the qb pulls it and runs. In the passing game they are rushing 3 and dropping everybody halfway to china. And even with just three guys then can eventually track him down. If no pass catcher occupies the middle zone its complete abandoned with resources used to smother WRs. You could NEVER play that way with a 90% of the P5 starting qbs. They would just take off and run for 10 yards every time.

I've seen plenty of statues at QB have success. There's something far more wrong than TVD not being able to run. One of those is the inability to run into a 6-7 man box. For a team that is run first and basically rooted in ground and pound to only be able to gain 5-6 YPC in those situations... basically guarantees no success in the passing game.

Lashlee was presented with a similar problem and we still lit up the passing game.. with the same QB and less time to throw.

TVD has a deeper problem and/or there's a deeper problem in the offensive system or HC intervention. I think it's a combination of all. A high dose of all of those elements dragging it down.
