[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 36100, member: 265"] Taking J-B at his word, I'd say this: Vad actually had a pretty good year. I don't think the coaches underrated his ability at all. In his best games (Duke, Syracuse, Ugag) he showed what everybody was expecting of him and he did ok in all the others. I don't think he had much in the way of a true stinker of a performance. The main reason so many people – J-B included, apparently – were so disappointed is that they were expecting too much. If he had stayed at Tech I would have expected him to be much better this coming year; indeed, I was looking forward to a whole year of Ugag performances. But he decided otherwise. I can't speak to that decision, though Coach was obviously disappointed ([I]he[/I] doesn't seem to think Vad wasn't coachable, iow). JT will probably do just fine at QB for us; he's more suited to the O then Vad and much quicker then anyone else we've ever had back there. But if he doesn't win the job this spring we'll still be ok. There are several good candidates at QB. I've said before and I'll say again: I don't think the actual results will be much different if Byerly wins the job, though he won't be near as much fun to watch. The guy knows how to win. Period. So bottom line: I don't see that we have an unsurmountable problem at QB. Unfortunately, we're in the same boat with almost everybody in the conference except FSU, something I looked on as an advantage going forward. But the schedule is favorable and the athletes we have lined up can do the job. And I'll end by once more wondering just why Tech fans obsess over the offense [I]when it is plain as a pike staff that the D is the source of our problems.[/I] [/QUOTE]
