Marcus was garbage, it has nothing to do with the way he acts, I would place him last on that list. He was decent at best.
Randall had a lot of heart i would take him second of Mike Vick.

I guess I can't think that Glennon makes that many mistakes when he did attempt more passes and had no more interceptions. I just think he lacks the ability to make plays. He can't create, and the Tech scheme seems to flow with a QB who can create. (Vick, either of them but more Michael, and Randall obviously are the best fits). I guess we're agreeing but I just don't think Glennon is as horrific as you, I mean I remember watching DeShazo and Furrer, not completely downing you on that but how old was you in 88, don't know if your QB assessment was quite top notch then [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'm thinking that Glennon seems worse due to the QBs that have been there the last few, its like walking around with a 50 in your wallet when you have had no more than 5 your entire life. The 50 looks good, but to someone who carries 100s its not so great. Just the opposite if you have had 100s that $20 QB Glennon looks horrible, but if you had or seen or remember the $5 QB Furrer, that $20 ain't so horrible lol
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.
that's probably a good analogy with the money...and I didn't see Furrer growing up (well i'm sure i did but i don't remember it) but i've seen both since then on videos and had talks with people who were at VT at the time Furrer was there

See what you have coming in this spring. And this fall. If Glennon don't cut it and can't, simple time to make a change.
In the spring game you force Glennon to show he has improved, do what others have done. Go after him and show a different scheme.
Florida has done it all year with two QB's. I don't like it. But it works or seems to for them.
If not how is Florida playing for a National Title.
I'm a Tech Fan but honestly it's getting harder to take. You watch the D try to win games and the O and Glennon throw them away.
Here's a blurb from Mike Farell from Rivals who's at the AAA Game, about VT's next qb....
Tyrod Taylor, QB, Hampton (Va.)
Taylor is going to be simply nasty at Virginia Tech. Think Marcus Vick with better accuracy and a no ego. Taylor quietly goes about his business and uses any slight, such as being put with the defensive backs on day one, as an incentive to get better. He can do it all.

I hope the kid (Taylor) will be as good as most say. I don't think Glennon is horrible, neither is he great. The offenseive scheme is the problem, and yes i've thought so for years. They had (argueably) the best RB in the ACC and he never got the ball when he wasn't dodging someone during the handoff. They play Miami or FSU or someone who puts a lot of pressure on and they throw three forty yard attempts and punt. They were too conservative early in the second half against UGA then turn Glennon loose. I cannot stand Stinespring's Offensive philosophy. I didn't like his predecessor a lot either. Against Auburn they had the ball (Sugar Bowl)inside the ten several times and couldn't score a TD. I realize Auburn had a good D, but please. I told a friend who is a big UGA guy early in the 2nd that VT would lose. He said you're kidding. I said nope, the D is getting tired and hurt and they will make at least one stupid mistake trying to run the clock out with a big lead. Guess what? They wasted one of the top 5 defenses in the nation this year, and gave them no help on offense. But, i 've seen it before afterall. Sometimes you have so much talent you can't help but win over other teams. But if you go back and look when it comes to coaching or making an in-game change that turns a ballgame when was the last time VT made an adjustment at the half and turned a game around? It sure happens to them a lot.....see Pete Carrol, Mark Richt, Bobby Bowden, etc. Why do you think they haven't won two bowl games in a row.
Taylor is a good athlete but, if I were a VT fan I'd be worried about a 6' qb. He's not very muscular either. I don't know if a redshirt year wouldn't actually be the best thing for him. He didn't get a fair shake today in the AAA game. For one of the most impressive players this week in practice, he only got 1-2 series at qb.

Neither did Devine, Im not too big of a fan of the Army AA game. It seems like the [censored] game is built for notre dame.
It definately is. What was the deal with Devine not being invited and then showing up midweek? I'm sure that's what hurt him more than anything. He looked great on that KOR.
