The growth from limited snaps against Bama, his first start vs uva to now is crazy.
He looked good early on , the fsu sack fest broke him. But he flashed and looked to be heading to a good career. Then the wheels fell offCorrect me if I’m wrong, but I have no memory of Kyle Wright ever playing like TVD did today against a ranked team on the road.
C’mon man you just crowned him, and you should!I’ve read a lot of posters hating on TVD for months. Some saying he’s trash and shouldn’t be playing at this level, that’s from a person who supposedly saw him in HS. You know who you are lol. We all know why too, folks had already crowned the prodigal son. I always preached I won’t crown players anymore until I see it on the field, and I won’t be crowning TVD in this thread. But I will say I saw some things today that I haven’t seen from many qb’s starting their careers. I‘m not even talking stats, I noticed small things that blew me away.
1. Tvd goes through all his reads and takes what the defense gives him, he reads coverage very well especially for his amount of starts.
2. He uses his eyes like a four year starter , moving Lb’s db’s out of their coverages. One simple play was around 9:30-9:40 in the fourth , he looked to a flat route , moved his eyes to the middle of the field and the lb backed out of the zone. Then he came back to the original read . It was a 4-5 yard gain but still. It’s the small things.
3. He’s always in control , never shaken, he’s body language always remains the same . He’s a cool cat and that matters especially for his teammates. They want leaders who have shall I say “ swag “not fake confidence.
4. We know he has unreal physical talent and makes nfl throws. But it’s looking obvious he has the “ it“ factor you want in a qb , making the play regardless of it’s a scramble , check down or running down a fumble trying to knock it out of bounds to save the possession / game.
The play That blew me away the most was a turnover lol. First it was a great play call by RL. We rolled the pocket right , it was pretty much a one man route to the sticks. Harley cleared the zone out and Rambo was wide open for the first down but he fell down. TVD rightly started to throw the ball away then he saw the post cut open behind the secondary, the secondary collapsed on the wide open Rambo. We all know Harley fell too but it was an easy big play or even a td if he doesn’t. I know the cardinal rule is not to throw back across the middle of the field late but that was a big big playmaker type play . To attempt that is beyond crazy , but having the eyes to see that is even crazier. That’s something you have or you don’t.
As I said I’m not crowning him but we might have something here we haven’t had in awhile. There’s definitely something here to work with.
Tvd and Garcia make the job little more **** for the next guy.
He never did. Plus clemson is a 100 percent qb friendly offense...half the time they are throwing bubble screens or plays off of rpo to wide open wrs..a 1 read offenseIf he plays like this the rest of the year, there really is no quarterback competition to be had next year. I dont know too many guys at quarterback who can perform at this level and NOT have the job locked up. Now, DJ looked like an All Star last year in limited action and now look at him but even he didnt really have to initially fight for his job at the start of this year.
I think we have something with him but I’m not going crazy yet. I’ve seen many a qb look great then film gets out on him. So I’ll wait, but theres a lot of positives for sure.C’mon man you just crowned him, and you should!
Do you guys seriously not know the pac 12 exist?.ACC is probably the worst P5 conference this season, might even be 6th behind the AAC. So unless Manny makes the ACCCG, still don't think he comes back.
Yep.We knew the staff like tvd bette than the fans.

I never agreed with this.@Cribby
And they were telling us that TVD had “mid round talent” out of camp while Jake had first round talent. If that’s true then holy ****.
Kyle Wright never looked this good in consecutive games. Never.I saw Kyle Wright look really good early in his career too. Dc’s will see film and make adjustments , great players stay improving and adjusting to the adjustments. It’s too early Imo.
I liked how, on the Mallory fumble out of bounds, TVD was the guy who tried to get in there and keep Pitt from recovering. He's really a heads up guy.I’ve read a lot of posters hating on TVD for months. Some saying he’s trash and shouldn’t be playing at this level, that’s from a person who supposedly saw him in HS.

I could end some posters careers by bumping threads but I don’t get down like that. We all get our time at the principal office if you post enough. The one thing TVD always had was prototype tangibles. Top shelf arm , size and tested as a pretty good athlete . Especially for that size.@Cribby
