Am I the only one that prefers J Brown? I want the scramble ability and that threat of making teams pay.
Yes. You are the only one.Am I the only one that prefers J Brown? I want the scramble ability and that threat of making teams pay.

Why does every OC need to dumb **** down for TVD, Garcia didn’t have a problemRoman did an analysis on the play. He was very critical of both the playcall and the design. 2 WR on each side, all 4 running the same route. IIRC, it was a hitch. The WRs were so close together that the pick was made by the other WRs defender. (This was the 1st play of the game, which he was critical of. Instead of coming up with something scripted and creative, it was bleh.)
It doesn't sound like Gattis is doing TVD any favors or making it any easier.
Winning is all that matters. Jake looked a lot more comfortable at QB despite being in a terrible situation. People worried about Garcia throwing picks, but TVD threw two in like the first minute of the game. Dude is trash, mailed it in already. Garcia’s got that fire in him. The team needs that.
That’s exactly why I want him at qb, we need teams to respect our qb can run if not they will crash weak side like they have been doing.****** OCs love mobile QBs that can turn a crappy play call into a positive outcome

Garcia is more mobile and more accurate on the run then TVD. He also pushes the ball down the field. This should open up the run game by forcing NC to play back.Yet you assume Garcia will excel at all these things based on his limited success against a horrible team once the coaches had no choice but to finally be aggressive.
What’s the plan if he doesn’t? Change QBs again? Imo this is an offensive philosophy problem. Throwing TVD to the scrap heap already won’t change anything.
I don't know if it's a case of dumbing stuff down. Gattis appears to prefer bunch formations and we do not use the entirety of the field. I feel like we play within the hashes. You can critique TVD I guess but again, coaches are not optimizing the talent IMO.Why does every OC need to dumb **** down for TVD, Garcia didn’t have a problem
Agreed
Though I think the question isn’t about TVDs psyche (well not to me anyway) as much as once you make this decision with Garcia…that’s it
But we’ve seen plenty of examples in the game of a QB getting benched and then returning and being better for it
I don’t question TVDs toughness at all
Quick hits? The guy can’t put touch on a ball to save his life. Here’s a rocket to your face mask as you turn. Here’s a rocket to the turf 5 feed wide.I dont think its a tough call because winning this game is all that matters. Start TVD, tweak the play calling for quick hits and screens and if the line shows they are capable open it up. Give Jake a serries in the 1st half no matter. Make a decision at half about the rest of the game.
Jake was thrown into a dumpster fire with his first real snaps in a real game where we were losing. I’ll give him that slack all day long. TVD literally **** down his leg from the first snap. It’s unacceptable.Excellent points. However, you can't worry what it looks like to the fans or TVD. If anything he should have been taken out in the 1st half per CoachHayesFootball. As Coach Hayes said, the embarrassment of his play was far greater and detrimental than being removed from the game. TVD needed to be saved from himself.
I think TVD should start because despite what people think, Jake wasn't perfect. He made some mistakes as well. He was a big improvement and spark though.
The issue with starting Garcia is exactly what Rosier pointed out. If Jake doesn't perform as the starter, then you have nothing left because TVD will have zero confidence coming off the bench.
I start TVD. If he looks bad after 2-3 drives, I bring in Garcia. Jake will have less pressure coming off the bench because he'll be replacing a bad performance just like the MTSU game.
I will always go down thinking he A.) took a bribe to take the loss like Vinny… or B.) was just hungover and figured he could sleep walk to a winIf Rosier wants to say something then he should have beat Pitt in 2017 instead of looking like he's never played football before
Yep embarrassing performanceI will always go down thinking he A.) took a bribe to take the loss like Vinny… or B.) was just hungover and figured he could sleep walk to a win
