Is anybody watching this game? Tech isn't playing well at all. Tech's winning 7 to 3 at the half.
Was watching earlier but turned it off because Maryland was getting stomped there near the end.
How many interceptions did Marcus Vick throw anyways?
Kind of ironic if you think about it... because right before the game we had a thread about Marcus and Michael Vick and if they were overrated or not. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I do agree though, Tech didn't play that well at all tonight. It took 'em quite a while to get steamed up enough to do some damage.
Marcus threw three interceptions.
He is the second-most overrated player in football, behind Vince Young.
Vince Young overrated? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........WOW [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
Behind Reggie Bush (maybe even better) is the best in the NCAA. C'mon now.
because we all know the second rated passer in the nation HAS to be overrated
I doubt he will be the second rated QB after tonight
passing efficency is a terrible stat to compare quarterbacks. Brock Berlin completed 64% of his passes and had 13 td's/18 int's that season. Its easier to look at things from a game by game perpective.
he wont fall too far...and he'll be back up at the top by the end of the season
he has one bad game...it wasnt even that bad of a game...he still had over 250 yards offense...some tipped passes and some sailed on him that got picked, happens to the best of em
Terry Bradshaw had a passer rating of like 60. He only won like 4 superbowls. Passer rating is the most bs stat in football.
Why is it that people always fail to see the truth in things.
Marcus Vick is NOT JESUS.
Vince Young is a WR lined up behind the fat guy who snaps the ball.
Both have good talent surronding them, Vick moreso than Young.
Second-highest rated passer, who throws three INT's against a mediocre at best Marlyand offense.
That stat, as Mega and Ironlung both pointed out, is pointless.
he threw for 211 yards 3 ints, 131 rushing yards
Only stat I ever care about is the win column... and Vick is 7-0 as a starter... pretty productive... not to mention he was still POTG w/ them ints
I dont put a lot of stock into college #s anyway. Prime example was Larry Johnson. The year he got 2000 yards, he had less than 250 yards total against iowa, mich, and ohio state. Its way too easy to pad your stats in college.
Larry did turn out to be pretty decent, but Diets will tell ya, anybody can run behind Willie Roaf.
doesnt really matter...he could throw for 1,000 yards in a game and run for 500 , with 15 passing TDs and no interceptions and people would still say he is overrated and a running back playing qb...by yalls standards there isnt a good player playing the game anywhere
stats just determine the amount of money you get when you turn pro!
I just like to bust your ba11$ a little bit gcdevil22, I think it's hilarious how defensive you get over your beloved Hokies, and the Vick family. You'd think you was kin or something!
no not really. Timmy Chang isnt exactly swimming around the money bin like Screwge McDuck. Your game has to be able to translate to the nfl level, but production is the most important thing when it comes down to deciding over two players that are rated very closely. That and a comparison of how a player fits into a particular team's scheme.
well if you want to get technical about it theres all kinds of factors that go in to it, strength of your opponents, type of offense, defense you run in college, and all the stuff you said and more, I didn't think I had to spell it out like that, but one of the most determining factors is if you produced in college, if you produce you get paid!
Are you insane?
He isnt that good as of today, RIGHT NOW.
All these Tech fans are proclaming they have a Heisman contendor and reincarnation of Fran Tarkenton, when, in reality, all they have is a talent young man with a lot still left to prove.
Hes played in one hostile road environment, WVU, and lost his cool and acted like a fool.
He just isnt mature and experienced enough ot be considered with the Leinart's and Keller's and even Omar Jacob's.
right, but producing big #s against duke and producing big #s against florida state(example) are two different things. All college players put up the big #s against lesser competition. Thats all I was pointing out with my larry johnson example.
Ronnie Brown didnt have half the production as Cedric Benson, but we saw that Ronnie got drafted higher.
Ronnie Brown didn't have the numbers Benson had because he shared the ball with the Caddy, I think scouts knew what they were getting, plus at the combine he really impressed them.
yep, the combine made the difference. The big question was, could Brown carry the ball 30 times a game like Benson. Obviously Saban felt he could. Only time will tell.
true enough, but there's not many backs in the league right now who could carry it 30 times a game and make it past thier 5th year in the league.

Vince Young overrated? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........WOW

Face the facts...he is, and it will be proven again this year.
I'll take overrated and 7-0 over underrated and 5-2!
Tech is 7-0 and haven't lost any ground. They still need a Texas or USC loss to get into the N.C. game anyway. All Tech has to do is keep winning and hope someone knocks of Texas or the Trojans.
Tech has gone on the road twice this season in a hostile environment and won both games convincingly. They dominated the game last night even though the score didn't show it. Tech blew 11 if not 14 points inside the redzone. Add in those two TDs and the final score is 42-9.
Of course if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas. Nonetheless, Tech is still on course and no harm done with Vick's 3 INTs.
we got BC next thursday and then 9 days to prepare for Miami at home
im glad we got our sloppy game out of the way, hopefully we wont have another
Yeah I mean Vick throws 3 INT on the road but still put up nice numbers and they win, but he's not good.
Leinart throws 2 on the road with the greatest bunch of talent, not great numbers and they win....yet he's still a great QB
Granted, Maryland isn't Notre Dame but if you listen to the brains, USC's offense is on another level to anybody. Simple fact, with the Pac-10 being as defensive oriented as it is *lol*, Vick's numbers tend to go against better defenses than Leinart's.
apparently leinart is good becuase he is only a threat to pass...b/c those who can do both all suck...duh
oh my god dont tell me you all are going to start comparing marcus vick to matt leinhart...all you hokie fans think alike dont you...you all thing that since he wears vick on the back of his jersey that he deserves to be worshiped or something...I personally thing that Marcus SUCKS and will be rocked by miami and FSU since he can not complete a pass to his own guys against marylnad
he is apparently alot better than shockley, the dude is just as good as any other qb in the nation...everyone just dislikes him because he is a hokie
where do you come up with the fact that he is better than shockley
Raiders, the guy has 7 starts. That's it, he's 7-0. Is he God's gift to quarterbacks? Maybe/maybe not, but its funny how he throws 3 interceptions, has what 300 yards of offense on the road and he's a dog. Leinart has what 175 yards of offense, throws 2 picks, and he is God's gift.
I mean do we think that Imoh/Ore is as good Bush/White, because if someone does.....well they scare me. Leinhart is good, no question, but I think Vick is pretty good as well. I think Vick has to pus his numbers up against better defenses than Leinart does as well (I mean its always been a joke about Pac 10 defenses).
because his team is better than your team...if you are gonna get on here and say that vick sucks because he runs....take a look at your qb before you say that....shockley isnt that great of a passing qb, as a matter of fact shocley isnt that great at all
answer me this burton did i say that vick sucked because he ran...no because i know that shockley runs too but if you saw shockley play you would say that there is a lot of similarities of the way that him and marcus plays and just to let you know that tech is 3rd and georgia is 4th and if you look at the ap polls tech is only ahead of georgia by a slight few points
true, but if tech were to play georgia, doenst matter where, tech would win by at least 2 td's...uga is overrated..let them play bama,lsu, and auburn in the sec before we see good they really are
the only reason i think that he sucks because everybody hypes him up but who has he played...i think that if he can beat miami and beat FSU for the ACC championship then yes i will have respect for him as a player but unitl then i still think he is overated
the day georgia passes tech in the polls is the day all 85 scholarship players quit
let me ask you something how the He!! do you know who would win...becuase georgia has just as good defense as anyone else in the acc...i have seen georgia play every game this season and know their offense is not explosive but you give them a 14 point lead and thats all it takes the defense does the rest...so to say that tech would beat georiga is an overstatment
georgia couldnt put up 14 pts on techs defense
simple...tech's d is much better than georgia's o and tech's o is better than georgia's d...special teams, yeah that's a big check to VT...coaching, well we win that one too
