Historically, Hokie starting qbs do not improve

and generally get worse the longer they are starters I think Tyrod may have been the last guy that actually got better— which is crazy Hopefully Grunk can reverse the curse

Thx! Not surprisingly he's a work in progress, but the tools are there.
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 07:21 PM ET
onus is all kinda ON on on, the oLine now! He reallllly needs a Big-X savvy
bourbonstreet • 01/15/26 05:10 PM ET
Yes yes and 100% yes, pressure is on Matt Moore to coach these guys up

Per PFSN 2025 CFB OL Power Rankings: 52) Virginia Tech Hokies: 77.5 (C+)

AI had this tidbit on PFF grades for the 2025 O line
HokieFlyFisher • 01/16/26 09:15 AM ET
IF; we were the 52nd oLine in '25? Eye, b.street... will eat this post LIVE
bourbonstreet • 01/16/26 12:34 AM ET
Agree the OL needs to improve YOY but the 2025 QB1 situation amplified…
Hokiefied • 01/16/26 10:13 AM ET
Some good, a few real good, some not so good, some bad**
Riverguy • 01/15/26 03:23 PM ET
Looked like a talented but inexperienced QB**
Hokiefied • 01/15/26 04:13 PM ET
I’m confused. I thought you throw the football at the receivers feet on…
Hokiefied • 01/15/26 03:13 PM ET
throwing at the hands. easier for the D to INT. didn't you know that?**
Windows NT • 01/15/26 04:16 PM ET
Yes, very confusing. Is that called ‘footwork’? :)**
V333T • 01/15/26 03:22 PM ET
💯% pocket awareness... will play on sundays**
Windows NT • 01/15/26 03:07 PM ET
Not yet. But pretty good for a frosh and he's got a few years to get there**

Reminds me of Dave Meyer**
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 01/15/26 02:42 PM ET
Go way back. I say a little of Will Furrer, but not a lefty...**
Hokie_N_NC • 01/16/26 06:22 AM ET
I don’t recall him being that agile**
Hokiefied • 01/15/26 03:17 PM ET
He's mobile, he's just not "dual threat". Reminds me of Collin Schlee **
Techsupport • 01/15/26 02:23 PM ET
Much better passer than Schlee**
Hokiefied • 01/15/26 03:16 PM ET
Of course, just talking about his style.**
Techsupport • 01/16/26 07:51 AM ET
Hopefully much more durable.**
solareye • 01/15/26 02:50 PM ET
Agree except I don't see much similarity to Schlee
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 02:42 PM ET
Hopefully he will not take the pounding of a typical "dual threat" QB.**
EDGEMAN • 01/15/26 02:24 PM ET
Either can get hurt if the OL stinks. A pocket QB is a sitting duck. **
marcbvtgm • 01/15/26 02:43 PM ET
Certainly not. We're gonna try the pocket QB offense (again)...
