Pitt is garbage.

When is the last time Miami lost to Pitt?

This game is the definition of “fools gold” on so many levels.

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.

All Facts!
 
TVD is off to a great start. Unfortunate for Jake this year with his injury but may the best man win next year.

Same guys calling Pit and Ncsu trash were saying they’d drag miami like they were juggernauts. Which is it?

Pitt and NCst might not be trash but show me who they beat............ one lost to Western Michigan. Both arent ranked come tomorrow. Neither has beaten a team that is currently ranked. One hasnt even played a ranked team. beating coarstal teams is not impressive. like i said in another thread. Only loss I am cheering for is the loss of the HC of Miami

I admit I was critical of TVD early on. He had the deer in the headlights look, he would feel pressure that wasn’t there, he played more as a game manager, but these past 2 weeks he has really come into his own. His improvement in the pocket has been unreal, he is no longer staring down the first read, he is running when he needs to, his deep ball accuracy has improved greatly, and he has full control of this offense. I am impressed and happy to see him continue to develop.

I think TVD lied about his age like my Zoe’s use to do back in the day to get into High School.

That boy looks and plays like a grown *** man. 😂

You're not lying. I keep thinking the same thing. I'm sure he's 27.

His use of your #2 says it all about his reading defenses.Hey, he’s already got Pollack on College Gameday eating crow! You have to be impressed by his game and confidence…….

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 think the kid has a bright future.

I am much more concerned about Lashlee being able to steward Van Dyke through adversity when defenses inevitably catch up.

He is a better fit for what Lashlee knows out of the box than D’eriq was, so it might work out despite slowness to adjust his strategy.

There has been talk of leaders for this team but nothing showing up, that is until TVD. He elevates his teammates and his talent instills confidence. You can tell he is a true Canes as his efforts are 60 minutes regardless of the score. He is definitely the most talented QB we have had in a very long time. Disappointed it took this long to see his talent, love the fact he is a redshirt freshman. He is going to be fun to watch for the next few years. For the first time in a long time I feel really good about our future. Diaz has fixed a lot of flaws but TVD is special and should've been our QB before now. He and his staff have been coaching scared which has handicapped their efforts. Hopefully they continue to play aggressive and never play not to lose...fi their is time on the clock Hurricanes play all out until the final gun.

Think about it …………
Last 2 weeks, we beat NCS by 1 point and Pittsburgh by 4 points. Good for the kids but that’s it.

True. Some posters are going way overboard.

Still, Van Dyke has elite traits and strong intangibles. We have good reason to be excited about his potential.
 
Definitely got something to work with for sure. He has nfl ability. He’s shown he can play well in clutch situations. If all goes well he’s only around for one more year and just may be a top nfl draft pick
