[QUOTE="Techster, post: 405210, member: 360"] I use to get down on players for not being All-ACC every play, but I came to realize those guys are few and far between. Even then, you won't get All ACC every play (as we saw with the Megatron and BayBay dropsies every now and again). QB is such a hard position, and it's dependent on the teammates that surround them. There's also the coaching factor, and development factor. In 2013, GT had both Vad Lee and Justin Thomas on the roster. Gifted with hindsight, we all know how that ended. Sometimes coaches have to go with "the best man for right now". I think we all now feel Justin was the better guy for our offense in the long term given several different factors (on the field and off). But at the time, when both were eligible to play, Vad was the best option for CPJ in 2013...otherwise, CPJ would not have played Vad. I don't always agree with some of CPJ's decisions, but I do agree that he puts the best guy out there (at least on offense). I'm not exactly sure what happened to Taquan towards the back of half of the season. Taquan against UT to start the season gave all of us a LOT to look forward to. You just don't go downhill in performance all of sudden after a performance like that. I think weather had a lot to do with it...and I think he'll continue to struggle playing in the rain as defenses will not respect our passing in the rain and will sell out against the run. Taquan has some tools to work with, and he can be very good if development progression trends up. However, GT has some talented guys behind him. It will be interesting to see how the QB competition plays out in 2018. [/QUOTE]
