You must not have gone to the same scrimmages I saw. I saw Vad throwing pics, dropping snaps, and having major problems running the offense consistently. You know, typical freshman stuff. If I recall correctly, Vad's unit scored 1 TD in 2 scrimmages. Against our 2s.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Vad won't be good - but it will be 2 years from now until he is. All of you idiots saying Vad this, Vad that - we'd be lucky to be 4-4 if Vad had started all year.
The season isn't over. We're 6-2. Still got a lot to play for. Yes, the last two games were disheartening BUT let's not hate our team like the OP does. I'm not going to turn on our QB after he wins 75% of his games to start the year. I'm not going to turn on our coach when we've got only two losses. That's what mutts do.
TW is a good backup, if he was more he would have been starting in place of Nesbitt. Right now, he's the best option because of experience and maybe the belief that SD can't hold on the the ball.
We have no idea what Vad will become, we haven't seen him play a down of college ball yet. But CPJ saw enough there to want to redshirt him.
Over then next few games I think we may see more of Days. You know what you have with TW, might be time to see more of what SD can do.
I never said Vad should play this year, I simply said he had more promise than the rest. I saw him make enough good plays for that to be true. He made too many mistakes which true freshmen do, this will be ironed out in the spring when he garners more than a third of the snaps. Unless he transfers, Vad will start Game 1 next year, bank on it!
Because a RS-FR should always start over a Senior?
