I don't get the desire to hate on Drones. He is who he is at this point.

And we knew that. He was never going to be a super accurate passer. He wasn't in high school. He wasn't at Baylor. He hasn't been here. And it's not like he isn't trying to be good. You can tell he wants to win. He wants to be a good QB. He just has limitations and isn't helped out by a suspect OL and lack of playmakers around him. It's also not his fault that he's the best QB we have. I'm not saying he should be above criticism. I get that he makes money (although who knows how much) and the QB position will always take an outsized amount of criticism. But posts like this one just seem to cross the line.

Fsu has seen EVERY offensive play in our playbook. It's not that thick. If

No idea if you meant it that way, but it's an insulting title.**

Exactly. The guy plays hard. No reason to rag on his abilities.

Does he though?

It is a tendency of message board posters

Many need to create order out of disorder. Hanging the #1 QB helps do that.

Agreed. Drones has been a known quantity for a long time. The mistake

What is the insane amount he’s asking for?**
64hokie 11/12/25 12:23 PM ET
Yes, he will throw at their feet, or behind them, or a bit far
