Tyrod is Kodi Burns with a better team surrounding him. Of course, he may surprise us and be a surprisingly efficient passer...but I think what you've seen from him before is what you're going to get from him. He's got a purely strong arm, great feet, but poor accuracy and decision-making in the pocket.
The modus operandi of VT football under Beamer has been to play aggressive but sound defense, swarming and attacking special teams with good punt/kick block plays and solid returners, run the ball well on offense, and have a QB who can make plays with his feet on 3rd down. The combination makes them a very relentless and tough team to play. Even if you prevent the block, they usually have a good athlete returning the kick who will be hard to contain if you max protect. Even if you shut them down on first and second down, if you have a slight bust of contain on 3rd down...their QB can usually run for the first and extend drives. Plus, their defense isn't going to make things easy for your offense either.
They'll rarely win pretty, in fact I'm almost certain they prefer to win ugly. I don't know if you can ever legitimately win a national title with their typical offensive style that seems to have a preference on mediocre passers with some foot speed, but it does make for a team that consistently is conference title competitive and will win 8+ games usually. Of course, if Tyrod has improved greatly as a passer...it is very possible that they could win a title this year. They simply won't do it with their QB running around like a chicken with his head cut off, you have to be able to pass efficiently out of the pocket to win national titles.
I cannot believe they are comparing tyrod to the real TT.
I'm confused, because the article doesn't actually say that, or even anything that remotely resembles that. Here's the only portion that mentions Tebow:bayoutider said:When they say Tyrod Taylor is as good as or better than Tim Tebow
All I saw in that video was slow defenses with horrible tackling and a porous VT offensive line :conf2:LOL Tyrod is much better than Cody Burns. Look at his true freshman stats when we had experienced WRs. Plus Tyrod is a MUCH better runner than Cody. Lets hope for a good game Sept. 5!

since when are Miami FSU and LSU labeled "slow" ?All I saw in that video was slow defenses with horrible tackling and a porous VT offensive line :conf2:
FSU and Miami haven't fielded good teams for 5+ years, and I only recall one LSU highlight in that video and in it Taylor outruns what looks to be a big, slow, white linebacker.since when are Miami FSU and LSU labeled "slow" ?
Umm maybe they haven't been great but they have been decent and still field top talent. Their LBs are scary good/fast as are pretty much everyone on the field for them.FSU and Miami haven't fielded good teams for 5+ years, and I only recall one LSU highlight in that video and in it Taylor outruns what looks to be a big, slow, white linebacker.
