For those of us that didn’t watch the game, why should Drones play?

All I see is 2/7 passing.

Exactly. Easy to complete a pass when the D is playing soft.
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:30 PM ET
Are you allowed to use unmanned aircraft?
Hokie in CT • 09/10/23 11:33 AM ET
Also have to remember that the VT football fanbase yearns for a running QB
Synaesthesia • 09/10/23 08:52 AM ET
It’s not just the “running” QB part with some of this fanbase
hokiepro • 09/10/23 09:04 AM ET
He frankly just made the offense look 3 to 4 clicks faster and that was
Maroon Unit • 09/10/23 01:25 AM ET
Oh please. He completed a couple passes vs soft D. Then whiffed.**
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:31 PM ET
We all saw a different offense pace and speed when was in there. **
Maroon Unit • 09/10/23 09:43 PM ET
Was put in a no win situation. But showed 1) a sense of urgency 2)
uber hokie • 09/09/23 11:03 PM ET
he shouldn’t if wells is healthy**
frankyfrankerson • 09/09/23 10:50 PM ET
Wells ceiling is clearly understood**
40ozDistrict • 09/09/23 10:35 PM ET
He offers something that Wells does not…
GCHokieof91 • 09/09/23 10:26 PM ET
Is he really all that as a runner? He doesn’t jump off the page to my eye.**
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:32 PM ET
IMO, from my limited observation,
GCHokieof91 • 09/10/23 09:59 PM ET
Wells can do that when healthy; so if Wells is gunshy not wanting to run
hokiepro • 09/09/23 11:27 PM ET
I agree Wells has the speed to do
GCHokieof91 • 09/10/23 08:59 AM ET
He was thrown into the game when Purdue was in a prevent defense
EDGEMAN • 09/09/23 10:22 PM ET
Better wheels? OK, perhaps. But how much better? Not that much.
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:35 PM ET
Significantly better wheels than Grant on one leg.**
EDGEMAN • 09/10/23 08:39 PM ET
that's a good point too**
fnhokie • 09/09/23 10:23 PM ET
They put Drones in with about 2 min to go....
HOKIE FI • 09/09/23 10:22 PM ET
He lowered the shoulder and pancaked a defender on a run.**
Hokie Rebel • 09/09/23 10:22 PM ET
Big deal. How many more yrds did that get?**
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:36 PM ET
One pass was on target and dropped, he can run and quicker release.
VTROCK • 09/09/23 10:14 PM ET
You gleaned all of this in <10 plays vs a mostly prevent defense?**
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:37 PM ET
... and drones does not have tunnel vision**
Windows NT • 09/09/23 10:26 PM ET
I think he has better touch as well**
fnhokie • 09/09/23 10:17 PM ET
Every throw was on the money except the throw away**
soflahokie • 09/09/23 10:14 PM ET
He didn't look good. Some want him, and I wouldn't mind seeing more....
HokiePail • 09/09/23 10:14 PM ET
I wasn’t particularly impressed. I think he’ll minimal impact on run game.**
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:39 PM ET
Yeah, the missed receiver would
nkhooch • 09/09/23 10:57 PM ET
He looked better than Wells. And it's easier to change QBs than it is to
Maroon Baboon • 09/09/23 10:52 PM ET
So basically VT goes with another QB for like 10 straight years?
marcbvtgm • 09/10/23 08:41 PM ET
He did look good IMO. Impossible
GCHokieof91 • 09/09/23 10:29 PM ET
He looked plenty fast and had good touch? Every throw hit a receivers hands
soflahokie • 09/09/23 10:26 PM ET
He sat cold until the final potential game tying drive of the game. He was
Tombo • 09/09/23 10:16 PM ET
Keep in mind he was thrown in the game at the very end with basically the
fnhokie • 09/09/23 10:15 PM ET
He can run. He doesn't overthrow his targets. He has a higher ceiling.**
PennaHokie • 09/09/23 10:13 PM ET
Almost all of his incomplete passes were overthrows, out of bounds**
Synaesthesia • 09/09/23 10:29 PM ET
So, that's 2 of 3 incompletions right? I saw 12 by Wells today.**
PennaHokie • 09/09/23 10:32 PM ET
I'd basically go with your though here..he's gonna add an extra dimension
fnhokie • 09/09/23 10:17 PM ET
He can run. And we need every possible option right now
HokieAl • 09/09/23 10:12 PM ET
Because he’s not Wells**
