TW deserves some serious credit for the way he has grown throughout the season as our QB. I know a lot of you are pissed about this loss, but the silver lining for me was watching TW give us the best chance on offense. He is our QB, a solid #1 IMO, and he has definitely earned that spot.

We used to always have threads lauding Nesbitt when he was our QB, so I figured I would start one on Tevin. He's a hell of a competitor, and I feel fully confident with him at the helm. It sucks that we couldn't pull out the victory against VT, but that's in the past. It's time to whoop Duke's ass next week and then meet up with U[sic]GA in BDS on Thanksgiving weekend. I'm looking forward to it.

Here's to Mr. Washington!

Go Jackets! :biggthumpup:
 
Lol, TW sucks. He gets caught from behind by LB's and is a pussy when it comes to passing. Can't wait for Vad Lee next year.
 
Tevin calls his own number way too often. If he hands off to Lyons on 4th down, the drive would have continued.
 
Tevin played a good enough game, sometimes being awesome like with that fake pitch that threw off the defender big time, and sometime awful like in the 4th quarter. We're just not skilled enough to be a BCS-worthy team with QB play like that. We need someone who can may defenses constantly pay for mistakes.
 
People are going to judge Tevin for the end of the game where there were minimum 2 defenders running at him practically unblocked every time he tried to throw and his last throw that was terrible. However, for 3 quarters he played one hell of a game
 
VT had 4 senior OL with a buttload of combined starts. We have 1 junior OL and are last in the ACC in combined starts.

Compare the time Logan Thomas had with the time Tevin had.

Tevin played well I thought. The only pass I saw that was ööööty was that last one to Peoples. By then he'd had the living crap beat out of him. Big drops by Peoples and Orwin Smith.

Ran the option slick and got us down the field for the key field goal before the half with good passing.

But blame the QB...it's easier.
 
He's simply not a passing QB and we should never expect him to be. But we will see QB who can throw in CPJ's system one of these days.
 
Tevin has two problems. First he's just not a great leader exertions I see him knowing he just made a wrong read or bad play he's got a silly grin on his face. Second he's not accurate in the pocket and overall just average when it comes to making reads. He's not the entire problem - his blocking is pathetic but he doesn't have that clock on his head to get rid of the ball and only focuses on his primary reciever. Again he's just medicore I haven't really seen him "grow up" yet in regards to the offense.
 
I like Tevin, but he is a mediocre QB. Someone mentioned he "played a good enough game", but I don't think that's correct. "Good enough" would have been enough to win.

He certainly didn't cost us the game, but I think JFN would have put this team on his back in some situations and willed us to some wins. I guess that doesn't really count for much now. Plus, on those QB keepers I think we're one QB (V. Lee) away from the endzone.

If Tevin can get us to 9 wins and a bowl win then I think he will have done a terrific job especially considering the blocking and WR drops.

Exactly the right point about their OL vs. our DL. You could tell our DL was extremely tired towards the end of the game due to going against that OL so much.

I'm still not very high on Tevin's performance though. He had happy feet again and probably once again called his number way too much. It's hard to hold that against him since the pass protection was pretty terrible, but he still could have hit more passes if he settled down a bit.

Anyone want to elaborate on this? I'm not saying he necessarily is a good leader, but I haven't seen anything that would make me think that he isn't.

Bingo. The first time I saw him getting over excited in the pocket and not getting set, I knew he was going to be in trouble the rest of the night. It led to him making some poor decisions and getting out of his element.

Great on the field leaders get the team to buy into them. By saying buy into them they get in teammates faces when needed communicate with receivers and backs constantly, pushing themselves and their teammates. They control the huddle make the right reads, plays, accurate passes and decision making. They get pissed off when they make a mistake, and are vocal. Listen to any interview off the field Tevin has done hes reserved. You have to remember just two games ago CPJ pulled Tevin for Sinjin and I am not so sure it didn't have something to donwith this. Players must believe in their QB and even mores in the Tripple Option since the QB litterally "holds the keys"

I believe that we could and should have a better qb but mostly agree that Tevin is doing as well as can be expected based on his potential. Tevin is doing his best and that is all you can ask from anyone.
 
Tevin looked bad at the end when he was getting sacked left and right.

OL looked bad because they were letting Tevin get sacked left and right.

But then again when you have 7 blitzing 5, sacks tend to happen.

Tevin played okay. Our OL and their DL were having a pretty good fight throughout the entire game. OL lost big time when VPI knew we were going to have to throw the ball.

I still think the DL/LB is having some success trying to time the snap. I haven't a clue what we would lose by consistently sprinkling in hard counts and motion-reset-motion into the offense.
 
So, let's blame TW for Orwin Smith's horrible drop that stopped our first drive of the game when we were putting a hurting on Vippy. Let's blame TW for the PI non-call that resulted in our second stopped drive when the Vippy player tackled Embry. Let's also just judge TW for the one quarter when he did bad (4th) because we changed our play calling to be more pass heavy with an o-line that can't pass block for öööö. The reason he was calling his number so much was because Foster was forcing him to do so. The pitch was taken away most of the night, and the inside runs were being blown up because for some reason Finch and friends couldn't get a push up the middle. That only leaves one option.

Also, he called his number less in this game than in the Clemson game, and I didn't see people bitching about him calling his number too much during the Clemson game. Teams are taking away the pitch and the dive. That's how they're playing us now. That's what they did even when we had Nesbitt at QB, and look at how much he used to call his number. The only difference between JN and TW is that JN would give it to the B-back a bit more frequently because our B-backs (Dwyer and Allen) were a higher caliber and could actually gain more than 2-4 yards.

It's unfortunate that our fans are so quick to öööö on our players after a loss. We have a thread about getting rid of a player's scholarship, and a positive thread about our QB turns into a bash-fest, searching for all of TW's negatives ... oh, and the obligatory, laughable call for Vad Lee.
