Tyler is not our best shot to win, full stop. That’s the only thing this thread is about. He’s figured out, has the yips, is injured etc. He would have lost us the game against Clemson guaranteed, Emory played well enough for us to win it. He almost lost us the Virginia game, and got bailed out by the team. The chances of that happening again are slim. Anyone saying otherwise is just willfully ignoring all objective evidience.
Yes, Tyler IS our best shot to win. Whether you like it or not, TVD is absolutely our best shot to win RIGHT NOW. There is nobody better RIGHT NOW. Emory may be better down the road, but NOT RIGHT NOW.
This bull**** projection about what TVD would have done against Clemson is just a bunch of nonsense. In fact, we probably would have run the ball BETTER against Clemson BECAUSE with a credible passing threat at QB. And don't tell me about those two good passes that Emory threw, everything else was a wounded duck that Colbie Young saved from near-disaster.
The objective evidence is clear. Tyler throws better and farther and more effectively than any other QB on our roster. He has thrown some picks, yes. But he is the only quarterback CURRENTLY who can make a defense play us honestly, without stacking the box against the run.
Those are facts. I hope Tyler heals soon. The finger/ligament injury is the one that concerns me the most, as it clearly is impacting his accuracy and drive on the deeper passes.
He doesn't have "the yips". That's just some bull**** that you made up to explain away the obvious. Tyler is injured, and Mario won't admit it because we have no depth and he doesn't want Tyler to get killed.
Nobody has "figured Tyler out". I guaran-*******-tee you that if we had played Clemson as Game 1, or UVa as Game 1, Tyler would have torn those defenses apart. But without the ability to run and push deep balls down the field with his normal velocity, he is a wounded QB. For now.
And I don't care who the teammates like more, Tyler or Emory. It's not a popularity contest. You have 83 other teammates who just want to win.
And Tyler's still our best QB. For now.
