Not Crowning Him, But What Pro QB Does TVD Remind You Of?

[CanesZ06]

I see a mix of Steve Grogan and Y.A.****le

 

[CanesZ06]

Nah, Aaron Rodgers is barely one of the 3 greatest QB’s ever to play FOR THE PACKERS, let alone the whole NFL.

Top of my head…Bret Favre, Bart Starr, and Don Majkowski were all better

You forgot Lynn ****ey

 

[DC3]

Daniel Jones

 

[cowboycane]

Stephen Morris.

^ I’ve seen some hot takes in my day, but…just…wow.

You know what they used to call him? “Magic” Majkowski.

Nobody ever called Aaron Rogers “magic.”

All Aaron Rogers ever did was show up in a couple State Farm commercials.

Oh, you’re talking about Aaron ROGERS. I thought you were talking about Aaron Rodgers.

I get it now.

Jim McMahon before the shoulder injury

I see shades of Phillip Rivers and Dan Marino.

Not saying that he’s as good as any of them at this stage in his career. His footwork reminds me of Rivers, while his release is a combo of Rivers/Marino. Also throws the deep ball with a lot of velocity, and on a rope, not as much height as other QB’s, but very accurately, which also reminds me of Dan.

That Release reminds me of Marino.. It's quick and with a flick that ball goes mighty far!

 

[Canesbro31]

Play style is similar to Andrew Luck. Although not comparing him to have as much success as Luck he’s only started 5 games.

TVD looks great but let’s not crown him yet. I will say this Clarke has been a pleasant surprise at center that has helped

That Release reminds me of Marino.. It's quick and with a flick that ball goes mighty far!

He has NOWHERE near Marino's release...neither does anyone else for that matter...Greatest release in NFL History...

Yeah, not remotely close.

 

[561Cane]

something in-between a Matt Ryan and a young Big Ben sprinkled...TVD has major upside if he keeps working at his craft..

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Not to reiterate...But go watch a young Phillip Rivers, and compare TVD to him....Similar isn't the word...

A couple good games and you guys compare this guy to NFL Qb's. Then, if he falters, you blame everyone else except yourselves for crowning him. This is a summation of Hurricanes football the last 15 years.

Nobody is comparing him in the sense that makes him an NFL Great QB....just that there are similarities in his stance, arm and release to others...

Philip Rivers

Except he has proper mechanics on his throws

 

[mirasuegui]

I was going to say Marino too. I've never seen anyone I could compare to Marino until TVD.

agree

Harris was 'Black Dorsey' after his 400-yard game at FSU.....didn't last

To be 100% honest, I don't remember comparing Harris or any of our former QBs to any of the greats. This includes Dorsey.

None of them really inspired the comparison for me, even on their best days.

What TVD has done the past few games is a breath of fresh air. He has shown FLASHES of greatness. Doesn't mean he will be great going forward, but it has been fun to watch. And it's brought back (a little, much needed) hope to The U. Nothing wrong with that.

Edit: I've been watching Canes football since 1991, FWIW.
