[QUOTE="Techster, post: 42083, member: 360"] Your observation has some flaws. 1. Vad was a full time starter in 2013 as a redshirt sophomore. Tevin's best season from a completion standpoint came as a 5th year Senior. Tevin had the benefit of also starting half a season (due to Nesbitt's injury) before he become a "full" starter in 2011. Vad played a decent amount of snaps in 2012, but not the amount that Tevin did. From a development standpoint, Vad was probably ahead of where CPJ's historical first time starters were. 2. A good portion of your argument is predicated on comparing two QBs against one opponent: Duke. My discussion point was that Duke was the turning point for Vad's decision to transfer. You're not talking about the same thing I am. BTW...VAd accounted for 5TDs during that game. When was the last time a CPJ QB passed for 4 TDs during a game? Thanks for leaving out some important components of a statistical analysis. (Tevin passed for 3 TDs and rushed for 1 in 2012) 3. Duke 2013 is a vastly superior team to the Duke of 2012 and 2011. Duke 2013 went to the ACC Championship Game and almost beat TX A&M in the Chikfila Bowl. The OL's terrible performance in 2013 wasn't only prominent in our passing game, but also our rushing game...especially our rushing game. That's the gist...our OL was performing at such a bad level that it wasn't mainly Vad that caused CPJ to go away from certain plays, but the OL dictated it as well. CPJ has flat out said it in multiple interviews. Anyhow, the point of my point (ahem) is that people like to use Vad as a scapegoat, but our offensive troubles were deeper than a QB not "fully buying into the offense" as so many people like to throw out there. Afterall, it was Vad's arm that was a big reason we were able to get up 20 points on UGA, it was his arm that made the throw to Smelter (and a great catch from Smelter) that help us seal the win against Pitt, it was Vad arm that help us race out to a big lead against Miami. For all the times we like to think Vad didn't run hard enough, there were quite a few times Vad's abilities also helped us out. Remember, last year was Vad's first year starting on this level. Joe Hamilton even struggled as a first year starter in an offense that was more pass oriented. [/QUOTE]
