[QUOTE="TheGridironGeek, post: 152667, member: 1898"] Curious remark about CPJ being inconsistent even when having the right QB. Presumably, the bookie took one look at Vad Lee 3 years ago, decided he was the perfect mix of size, speed & arm for GT, then blithely wondered why they weren't winning more and not understanding Lee's actual shortcomings in the Flex. But it's not so much that I happen to disagree, these types of comments ignore that the QB's and the team's success go together. No QB is ever a bad fit for their team when they're winning Orange Bowls, and no QB who pilots a disappointing season was ever seen as perfect. Say GT had a bad season in '14 and Thomas got hurt trying to do too much. They would say "See, he was too small, we told ya" and write him off. People display a lot of vanity when they write about sports. Slightly OT -- I personally think Thomas is the FIRST great fit for CPJ at Tech, because he's the first guy whose running style is ideal who can also pass well & make good decisions. But then I'm a Navy Academy fan. I think the Flexbone is meant to look like circular gears in fluid motion, not the sort of stop/go machine-like execution of the offense under Josh Nesbitt. [/QUOTE]
