[QUOTE="Buzzwax, post: 27605, member: 781"] If already stated earlier in this or other threads, my bad...... IMO, here are the larger problems and opporunities with Vad's transfer and where his heart was this past season 1. Did CPJ know Vad was considering transferring as early as the Clemson game? If so, JT would have seem more playing time. JT didn't. 2. It seemed clear that Vad didn't like contact and the threat of him running diminished this year killing a huge 'option' in this offense. Hell, the lack of a running threat by the QB limits several offenses, especially at the college level. IMO, JT or TB improve our running game next year, even if the OL performs at the same level as this year. If there was any threat of contact Vad went backwards or fell down for a loss. Our TFL stats confirm this in a huge way. This put our O is more long yards to go per down than I can remember. 3. IMO, Vad's parents, or those who 'advise' Vad are potentially doing him a huge disservice. I don't give Vad much of a chance to get to the next level with the passing mechanics and ability to step into throws or step up into a pocket or accuracy. Nice touch, good arm, yes, NFL QB no. The return of playing in an offense you like at JMU for two years vs. the opportunity a GT degree can earn you for the rest of your life to increase your chance at playing in the NFL seems like very short sighted advice. 4. I looked at JT's highlights for the few times he got to play this year and he looks much better stepping into his throws. (Does this mean he will run the offense better, make less mistakes, make better reads, don't know) JT certainly will be more of a threat to run the ball and give DC' more to scheme around in our running offense next year. Vad's rushing total was crazy low for this system. 5. Two fumbles could have been the difference between 7-6 and 9-4. Vad's fumble against Miami in the first half and the fumble against Ole Miss. Both killed our momentum in those games. Yes this is a team sport so Vad is clearly NOT to blame for our overall record BUT now that we know one of the team leaders was not 100% engaged in wanting to be here.......as several have said Vad transferring is probably better for GT next year. 6. CPJ better have a good year next year, especially on offense or I fear our offensive recruiting could fall off of a shelf. Our short term pipeline seems promising with Custis, Devine and others at WR, OL and QB. But if we have another mediocre year I see us have an increased uphill battle to attract Justin Thomas and Custis type talent at the skill positions. IMO our overall talent on O next year will be the best since 09. Due to inexperience I expect us to struggle a bit early in the year, but I expect us to improve as the season progresses. Less turnovers, longer sustained drives, etc. Like the offense, the defense could struggle early on but should improve as the younger players are hopefully coached UP. 2014 could be a make or break year for this staff. I hope it's a MAKE!! [/QUOTE]
