This is a tough and resilient team. We’ve been playing with a lot of injuries for almost the whole year yet the coaching staff has figured out how to squeeze everything they can out of the team, winning more games than any “experts” predicted. Key’s second winning season in a row after inheriting a dumpster fire program is almost miraculous.
How do you “lock him up” for 3-4 years exactly?

They are 2-5 in the ACC now. Their only ACC wins are over the two bottom dwellers not named FSU. Tennessee beat them by 41 when they had a good QB. They aren't a good football team. We were a big favorite for a reason.

They were ready to play. Coach D had his boys up for this one just like last week against Duke. Again, they lost a heartbreaker but they get one more chance to redeem themselves against Carolina who they would rather beat anyway. Should be a good game. State showed a lot of heart which is a tribute to their coaches.
Gee, you must really be close to Philo and his family to know that they value money over everything else. Not everyone chases the almighty dollar. Why not give the young man more credit than that. Maybe he might see more value in gaining another year of experience knowing he can start for two more years after that and walk away with a degree from Georgia Tech that will benefit him long after his football career has ended. And he may also believe he can be QB1 next year whether Haynes King stays or not.
True but in his defense the one to Singleton had to be rifled because he was open only for a second in a crowd. I don't know about the one to the tight end. Seems he was more open and should have caught that ball but it was thrown hard for sure.
You could say this about every backup QB in the country that went elsewhere. Maybe he does have an undying love for GT that can't possibly be surpassed with money and guaranteed playing time. We will see.
Look at their stats- very similar.
Tossing aside every QB before their senior season so your Freshman doesn't transfer is not a very sustainable way to run a program.
First, I didn’t say they were good, I said they were mid-tier ACC. Second, other than Clemson they’ve lost 4 ACC games by a total of 22 points. They've been very close this season even losing their seasoned QB and having to go with a FR. They are a couple plays from being right where we are.
I never said every QB. If you have an injury prone starting QB and you really like what you have seen out of his young backup then you are in an awkward situation if that young QB starts getting attention from others. As crazy as it might sound, if we want to keep Philo without giving him the job, we are probably better off if he doesn't do all that well next Friday.
