Apologies if I missed previous comments about this as I am sure I did. But I am curious to know what the general feel is about Drones. He's progressing seemingly very well after being named starter. Each game he's looked more composed in the pocket, chooses good times to scramble, and seems to find the easy pass on most plays. I would say we would've beaten Purdue if Drones had started (especially if there wasn't a monsoon in the mountains of SOVA). I would also assume if he was given the starting job in the summer, gained confidence and experience up until Marshall that we would've won that too. Rutgers is a toss-up for me, I think we stay in that game for longer than we did but I'm not sure if I can say we'd win that. So do you think 6-2? 7-1? Same? Worse?

Tighter game against ODU but still a W. W vs Purdue. -- HokieKick`nBack Oct 30, 2023 at 02:40 PM ET

Maybe Pry's more of a riverboat gambler than Tbow. Said, "Deal the cards!"** -- TomTurkey Oct 30, 2023 at 06:50 PM ET

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think it would be the same record. -- TekkNerd Oct 30, 2023 at 01:11 PM ET

I think the change in QB is overstated a bit. I like Drones, -- reestuart Oct 30, 2023 at 12:24 PM ET

Don’t completely agree on KD being the straw which stirred Bowen’s drink -- marcbvtgm Oct 30, 2023 at 05:23 PM ET
