Obvious now that Jaybo is major step down from Josh

One hand on the keyboard the other on his meat. An embarrassment to us all. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Kyle.

Dude, post some pics!
 
I can't help but chime in here:

We beat a (by all indications) decent ACC team today with a TRUE FRESHMAN at quarterback. He was extremely nervous based on everything I have read and heard. He ran for a TD and threw the third longest TD pass in the HISTORY of our football program. He made a few errors but made NONE that led to any POINTS by the other team. The average 18 year old in this country couldn't take a calculator and add a list of whole numbers together without ****ing up, breaking the calculator, blaming someone else, and getting high afterwards. This kid played his ass off for Georgia Tech for practically two whole games now against teams which were tough challenges in their own right, put his body on the line, won, and even got some style points in the process.

Out of respect for Jaybo and his family and his little brother whom I hope also comes to Ga Tech, **** you Kyle.

Jaybo, BeBe, Paul Johnson, Dwyer, and the whole Defense had a great day against an improving team with a lot of experience.

I really like the way Jaybo played. Duke played the option the right way - instead of a lot of guys in the box, they kept pursuing from behind and stringing the play out to the sideline. This makes you vulnerable to the downfield pass, and we adjusted and made them pay.

I was worried when we were up 3-0 at half. Duke has been great after half time. But it was our guys who adjusted, put points on the board, and the defense kept the pressure on all day long.

Jaybo was no major step down today. That said, I look forward tro Nesbitt's recovery and return. But, Shaw deserves praise.

I respectfully disagree JU. Per CPJ in the post game show, "I simplified the reads in the first quarter because Jaybo was so nervous. As we ran the option they went man on the outside. Jaybo was able to take advantage of Thomas's talent on the outside."

CPJ didn't change a thing. He ran his gameplan. What did you see that was "away from his offense?"

What jacketup is missing is that PJ doesn't go away from his offense. EVERYTHING we saw today is in PJ's offense...he just decides what to use based on what the defense is doing. Our OL was having trouble inside and Duke was flying to the pitch, so he decided to let BeBe have a big game.

Totally agree. The concept is mind-boggling. I mean, when PJ "goes away" from his offense, does that mean that he borrows a playbook from the other sideline? Does he tell the team, "okay, it's time to abandon the offense. Don't run any plays we practiced. Everybody just go out there and do what occurs to you, but NOT our offense! Anyone caught running our offense is going to have extra wind-sprints!"

I mean, really, what in the hell does that even MEAN?
 
I'm not going to pile on, but the way i see it our backup QB hasn't done anything but WIN. Folks may not like it that he's not as equally talented as our starting QB, but he's 2-0 in games that he's played the majority of the snaps. That's a 100% winning percentage and it doesn't get any better than that.

Some people just can't be satisfied with positive results and have to search for perceived negatives. The bottom line is, our "backup" QB put our football team in a position to succeed as evidenced by a 27 point victory margin. On top of that, any mistakes that he made didn't cost our team any points either.

Say what you want, but I'll take this guy on a moments notice to lead our team on any given Saturday as he has proven to me that he can get the job done. He's a GT guy and he's got my support. Hopefully everybody else is on board too.:biggthumpup:
 
Some people around here need to take their tampons out. Kyle's right. Jaybo is a serviceable back-up QB, but it's pretty obvious Josh is a step above him. That's not bashing Jaybo either...I lost count of how many times during the game I said "Nesbitt escapes that" or "Nesbitt makes that play".

Relax.

Nail, meet hammer.

Jaybo is a great player, and knows/runs the offense efficiently, but Nesbitt IS better. He runs for similar yards as Dwyer did today had he played.
 
Let me ask this. Which has fewer turnovers? I checked and Shaw has 0 interceptions to Nesbitt's 1. However, I couldn't see the fumble numbers. We would be undefeated with fewer turnovers at Virginia Tech.

If you have a good defense, I would be more than happy to trade ball security for a homerun threat.

Your line a bout tampons is really awesome and hilarious; I'm sure morons like Kyle would probably high-five you for making it.

Kyle is an idiot. Saying Jaybo is a step below Nesbitt on this day after Jaybo went out and won his second consecutive game for us is as moronic as posting after our win against Georgia in 2000 that Goose is not as good as Joe Hamilton. It's disrespectful and stupid and unnecessary and aggravating. It's for a different place and time. Nobody out there ever said that Jaybo was faster or quicker than Nesbitt or had better ball carrying skills. It would be like going to a wedding and telling the bride's mother that you've seen better looking girls. What a jackass.

Bottom line: Truth is not a defense for the original poster.

BOR, fridgemover, and other "big names" on this board prove in this thread that they do not understand this offense.

You're right, I clearly do not understand this offense. I nominate this as another DAPOTD.

kylie said Jbo is a MAJOR step down which is false so his statement is ignorant as usual. The kids obviously not as athletic as JN and JN should be the starter when he gets healthly but for a True Frosh to come in and play as well as he did against a much better team was impressive,

I wasn't worried at halftime because I knew Puke wasn't going to score and it was a matter of time that we got a couple of big plays and the game would be over. There's clearly some pansies on this board who need to quit whining and be positive once in a while.

He is just not elusive enough, fast enough, or strong enough to keep the ball and get long runs.

Gotta give Duke's D a little credit here. They are a veteran crew who has seen the option multiple times over the years.

No, some people need to get some sense about them. NO ONE has said that Jaybo is as good as Josh. But there's a big difference between Josh being the clear #1 and Jaybe being MAJOR STEP DOWN. Jaybe can run the offense as he has shown. Josh is better. But to start a thread, after a great effort and outcome by the kid, with a statement like Kyle's shows 1) a complete lack of perspective, 2) ignorance to the fact that different QBs operate PJ's offense in different ways (just check Navy last year for evidence) and 3) once again, that Kyle is a complete moron.

It's a topic that is worth discussing, no? Or is everything off limits after a win? Should we wait for us to lose to talk about our back-up QB?

Bottom line: Truth is not a defense for the original poster.

at least you admit he's right.

Stating that the truth is not a defense is not an admission of anything.

It's merely an assertion that the merits of the comparison are not relevant to my point, which is that you'd have to be a complete douche bag to post anything critical of Jaybo after he is essentially now 2-0 as a TRUE FRESHMAN against decent opposition.

Jaybo Shaw was a step below nobody the last two games and deserves everyone's respect. Members of his family might be reading this. I hope they aren't. But if they are, it makes me cringe to think that they'd come on here and see some idiot who wants to focus immediately after the game on how much faster and better the other QB is whether that is true or not.

If the team didn't have Jaybo Shaw, we very well might be 2-3 at this moment. Be thankful and show some respect.
 
Without engaging in the pile-on of Kyle, I will just add that there are winners and there are losers.

Josh is a winner!
Jaybo is a winner!

We're two for two and ought to be darn glad of it because we're gonna need both of them.

As a side note, I remember when Billy Lothridge beat out a more "polished" QB and became Dodd's best QB ever (by his own words). Someone once said, "He can't run and he can't pass. About all he can do is win." :)

Sure, maybe Nesbitt makes that play, but maybe after turning it upfield he pulls a hamstring and misses the next 2 (maybe 3 games). If he's going to play two, sit three for the rest of his career, he won't be better.

You can make a case that Shaw is at least the equal of Nesbitt. They have different skill sets. I was very impressed with the way Jaybo threw the ball yesterday. The pass to Bebe that he had to go up for was perfect and the 88-yarder is probably the first time a WR has caught a bomb in stride since George Godsey (maybe even Joe H.) was here. His pitches have been on the money. He's not afraid to take a hit, or eat the ball and move on to the next play.

Josh is an exceptional athlete. Jaybo is, too. We'd be very fortunate to have either one for their entire careers. Thank G*d, we have both.
 
Thrilled to have Jaybo Shaw on the Flats!

I know. I lack tact.

If you were trying to say that you felt Josh does a better job of running the offense, is more explosive, and is a better athlete than our TRUE FRESHMAN QB then perhaps you should have said that. Some might disagree with you but there's nothing wrong with expressing that how much you like Nesbitt and think our team has a better chance to win with him in there. What you did was run down Jaybo. Plain and simple.

That isn't a "lack of tact". That's insulting and uncalled for, especially after Jaybo went out there and threw for 230 yards and played a MAJOR part in beating Duke and came in cold against MSU and ripped them to shreds on the ground.
