Not sure I am a fan of the “QBR” methodology

Looking at the QBR rankings: Anthony Collandrea- UVA was 34th- he threw 13 tds and 9 picks, less yards but 4% higher completion pct and yet he’s twice as good as Drones. Really? Who would you rather have as your Qb? Brennan Armstrong NC State was 42nd - he played well against us but he got benched earlier in the year because of how bad their offense was and only got his job back because the freshman starter decided to transfer Not saying there isn’t room for improvement but Drones was very good last year, especially based on the preseason noise that he had limited passing ability. In my opinion he’s a lot better than some of those guys higher on that list.

Drones wouldn't have come here for FuCorn, so it would not matter how many
NokieHokie • 02/23/24 10:11 PM ET
He's not whatever enuff to be a Techman for Fu'?
bourbonstreet • 02/23/24 11:45 PM ET
He's not dumb enough to join that chit show...
NokieHokie • 02/23/24 11:46 PM ET
Pretty good in terms of efficiency. Really like that 3 pick number.
EDGEMAN • 02/23/24 05:55 AM ET
Well, Bo Nix who didn’t win the Heisman
Pride_and_Joy • 02/22/24 05:57 PM ET
I'd be interested to see which VT QB over past 30 yrs did rank as top 25
chagerma • 02/23/24 10:06 AM ET
VT winning in Columbus was almost 10 years ago. Lordy.**

tallahasseehokie • 02/23/24 11:21 AM ET
Yep. He was the real deal.**
Hokeedokee • 02/24/24 11:41 AM ET
Totally agree.**
seacain • 02/24/24 12:07 AM ET
He was ranked 66th nationally in QBr
Hokie1992 • 02/23/24 08:33 AM ET
QBR doesn’t measure ability to complement passing with running….
87Hokie87 • 02/25/24 03:04 PM ET
Actually it does
Hokie1992 • 02/25/24 04:11 PM ET
ESPN stats rate Drones as the 54th most “efficient” qb rushing

"But with the offseason, Drones should easily be a top 50 QB"
Windows NT • 02/23/24 09:11 AM ET
We already have one of those. Brian Crist.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/27/24 02:43 PM ET
maybe CP can lure Steve Clarkson to VT for a yr**
Windows NT • 02/28/24 10:05 AM ET
The good news is drones is a developed QB
Hokie1992 • 02/23/24 01:33 PM ET
According to that old OS, Windows NT, Drones’ mechanics are poor.
Pride_and_Joy • 02/23/24 06:17 PM ET
You saw glimpses of it needing work earlier in the year
HokiesACC2004 • 02/23/24 11:58 PM ET
It's almost like you don't watch the games
Pride_and_Joy • 02/23/24 12:35 PM ET
he has poor throwing mechanics, ave reading defenses, ave pocket awareness
Windows NT • 02/23/24 04:11 PM ET

Planner_Hokie • 02/24/24 09:28 AM ET
Please enlighten. What’s wrong with his mechanics?
Pride_and_Joy • 02/23/24 06:09 PM ET
don't jump on Drones like you did with Pedulla
Windows NT • 02/24/24 01:54 PM ET
Translation: “I just made up something about his
Pride_and_Joy • 02/24/24 10:11 PM ET
Translation: "I can't explain why he has perfect throwing mechanics...
Windows NT • 02/24/24 10:45 PM ET
You claimed he has poor mechanics.
Pride_and_Joy • 02/25/24 12:39 AM ET
you claim to disagree. do explain why you disagree and stop acting
Windows NT • 02/25/24 03:37 PM ET
lol. Love the deflection.
Pride_and_Joy • 02/25/24 08:57 PM ET

What? He did a fantastic job in one spring and season with a new raw QB,
