Not saying it's impossible, but did you watch Week 17 last year?

Pardon me if I disregard a list that says Tannehill is a better situation than Rivers, Flacco, or either Manning

Luckily for us, this is speculation about August or later. By then we will have a much better idea of Manuel's progress and what Taylor brings to the table on an NFL level.

When Brady finally retires will none of our victories against the pats* count any more?

They might see Golson as an opportunity to redshirt a quality freshman without conceding an entire season to mediocre play at the position

You don't, but does the coaching staff/FO?

Would it be that different from Gabbert getting traded if we dangle him out there for a 6th/7th?

Yeah, he'd be stepping into a good situation. And he's only a couple years removed from an undefeated regular season with an admittedly weak schedule.

If the rumors of Everett Golson picking FSU as his transfer school are true then expect him to be on that list somewhere as well.

Show a little respect, he is now the most accomplished CB on their roster!

One of the reasons for the suspension was failure to cooperate with the investigation. No appeal will change that.

Nah man, they had less fumbles, but more drops than most of the league. It's hard to catch due to increased impact, but easier to hold onto due to better grip.

No, because publicly criticizing the league and other owners is frowned upon...

ESPN's Lester Munson seems to think NFLPA and Brady have almost no chance. http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/12888612/tom-brady-nflpa-cannot-win-appeal-filed-deflategate

Yeah, those clips were more just him keeping his eyes downfield while extending, I agree. Surprisingly, not a ton of tape of his run of the mill plays since it was like 5 years ago. Everything you find on youtube are the exceptions where he made plays out of nothing. When they did the path to the draft thing with Tyrod, Cam Newton, and Jake Locker there was a segment where Ty was talking with Mike Vick and he gave some insight to the responsibility he had at the line of scrimmage his senior year. This is the unknown part. His coaching undoubtedly got significantly better, but we will see how much he has developed from it. The important part to me is that he is getting his shot, and as a long time fan I'm excited to see what he makes of it.

Exactly. On Sirius NFL Radio this morning, Amani Toomer was discussing how there shouldn't have even been a report, and the report just made everything about the situation laughably worse. I don't disagree on either of those points, but the Pats* made the investigation happen by holding 3+ separate press conferences to deny all knowledge and demand apologies.

Dropped a response over there, and yeah I definitely think they're different. But I do think that Tyrod's skillset would translate well to the version of Roman's offense that Kaep ran. In the end though, it is up to him to earn the shot and we'll see where it goes from there. BTW, Kaep might be feeding Tyrod some inside info on Roman Colin Kaepernick @Kaepernick7 · May 14 They will tell you that you can't make it! tytaylor2 #tbt #KeepGrindin #AgainstAllOdds… https://instagram.com/p/2rilFINBMm/

Every year he got better at keeping his eyes downfield while extending the play, and the stats improved because of it. By his senior year he would toy around with starting to run to loosen up coverage on his target and then making the throw. As to others questioning how a coach effected his completions and accuracy (can't remember if that was this thread or the Carucci one) the general offensive scheme started with a single read and then play backyard ball. By his senior season he had developed enough that he was making multiple reads and making pre-snap changes at the LoS. Bottom line is that the offensive coaching and playcalling at VT has been pretty bottom of the barrel for about the last decade. We've had some players, but the offense doesn't produce, and I believe it largely has to do with poor play design followed by QB's improvising and making poor decisions while learning on he fly. As an example, here's the Nebraska touchdown throw where the play turned into backyard football: http://youtu.be/xJx17nVZs7g?t=28 And here's the 2010 ACC Championship highlights to get an idea where he ended up: https://youtu.be/msjghvuflYo

Not saying he will or won't be, but Kaep hadn't done anything in the league when he came in either. Smith got hurt in order for Kaep to get his shot IIRC.

I'd like to see how our team performs as currently constructed before I answer this question.

That seems very short sighted. What if EJ isn't our QB in the future?

is SF up there with Torrey Smith, Anquan Boldin, & Vernon Davis?

Nah, but the article says he might be trade bait in August if he isn't the starter. I just hope we decide on a starter sooner rather than later. Better to have a prepared QB starting than 3 unprepared QB's due to sharing snaps
