It continually astounds me how some on this thread want to bury Haynes when he's undoubtedly our most promising player. Why do we expect him to overcome all of the mediocrity around him? He doesn't have any star skill players to throw to.
Also, I love Pyron, but people act like he's a world-beater — he helped us sneak by a horrible Virginia Tech team and then played below average in two other losses. HK is CLEARLY the better QB right now.
I'm not quoting my post as an "I told you so" thing, but just to illustrate how much one win or loss sways the tone of this thread. Haynes was
by far the biggest reason that we beat UNC the other night. And while he wasn't great against BC, his performance was clearly more attributable to those around him (Leary's drop, for example) and poor playcalling. When the next inevitable disappointing Tech loss does come, please remind yourselves of the 45-point outburst and what Haynes can do when the team around him performs.
Yes, the interception was bad, and yes, the errant throw in the first half was bad (though he overthrew it, avoiding the interception — take notes, Mr. Sims). Those were pretty much his only two bad throws of the night, and he made some incredible throws as well.
