Did the coaches see something in TVD that we didn’t?

I find it interesting that between Mario hyping TVD up when he got the job and then Gattis saying what he said in the ESPN article, the staff has been going out of their way to instill confidence in him since they got to Miami.

I find it fairly abnormal for staffs to do this with more established QB’s (Young, Stroud, etc.) so is it possible that the staff saw TVD as less of a sure thing than we did?

Truly great players elevate the players around him, and for all that has been made about the skill guys on the roster, I’ve watched a player that, through 3 games, looks out of sync with his receivers and extremely uncomfortable, even in an offense that has better balance and line play.

Was his success last year a ‘Looter in a riot’ situation where the shear unbalance of our offense enabled him to put up gaudy, albeit ‘empty carb’ stats? All questions I have.

Garcia will be the guy. Brown I don’t know. He really can’t throw. Needs to marinate for a while. But rashada may make that impossible.

As far as last year. We played garbage comp when he went on a run. Then we play fspoo in a decent environment and a good DL and TVD struggled the first half. Obviously tamu environment is different and their front is dam good

Staff has to take serious look at TVD. Did he simply play above his normal last year? Is he hurt? Have his mechanics deteriorated, and if so can he fix them?

In the last spring game under Manny, I didn't think that TVD was miles ahead of Garcia. It was close.
 
It's clearly the offense, Gattis needs to do much more to incorporate aspects of last year's offense to help TVD out. It would make the offense better anyway, it's not a good sign they didn't do that last night.
 
Double Whammy: Sophomore/SI Jinx - we've made plenty of first start Qs look pretty good, it happens. He had better WRs to throw to last season and psycologically his check-down safety blanket wasn't playing. That wasn't the ACC, and it was a pretty tough stadium to play in.

I think that there’s been an effort to instill confidence in him. This is a new system, he’s the center of attention now. That’s a big weight on someone’s shoulders. He’s adjusting, and I think Mario has been extra careful not to rattle him.
 
I think it’s safe to say TVD will not be leaving early for the NFL next season.
We need to have a true QB competition before next season, and keep the best QB. Would hate to lose Garcia, while TVD plays this poorly.
 
The thing that has bugged me the most since last night - we played a stud DL and our OL dominated them…very rarely was TVD rushed, and yet he was terribly inaccurate with the ball most of the night.

That to me speaks volumes about his level of comfort in this offense - he seems to be in his head too much.

I would have hoped after seeing some live action in the first two games he would start to settle in but I have to admit - even as an eternal optimist - the returns so far are not great.

You’re sleeping on Garcia. Kid has a big arm, is more accurate and mobile as well

Agreed, would be good to work Garcia into the offense as a change of pace, a series, a down. Teams do it with the Wildcat, Et al. Anything to shift us from this plodding passing game. NO shade on TVD, just trying to get some movement and motivation.

1.) this offensive scheme isn’t helping him
2.) his WRs outside of X would barley see reps at UCF

3.) dude needs to stop locking onto his primary target… Kirk kept highlighting this
 
I just don't understand how all fall he was being raved about with his ball placement and that seems to be his biggest issue last week and this week. He just seems off just watching as a whole. No emotion and just looks down on himself from just what I can see on the tv
