You are spot on and geez, in the end, I hope we are both wrong.  Yes. I saw the same robotic,  pre-determined read and play from Tommy. Playing qb in today's game college or pro is about pre snap reads of the D and how well a qb interprets progesssions and makes decisions based on what he sees/perceives.

Dino fell in love with Tommy in shorts, throwing the rock in 7 in 7s, the elite 11 competition,  etc. Td had a tough time in his in the state playoffs in big games. I didn't care much about it. But, after seeing his lack of pocket and game feel after 3 years in the program under the same system? Yes, a bit alarming.  3 years is a lifetime on today's qb/GB world and players are plenty ready by year 2 or 3. I love Tommy's arm and foot speed. It's the pocket awareness and anticipation or receiver reads and extending plays that we need in a qb. The feel of the game, the feel of the pocket and internal clock,  as well as late reads of your eligible receivers. Td doesn't have it. One might ask, well geeez, why was he effective last year.simply a case of coming out of the pen and not being scouted. Happens all of the time in football and with baseball pitchers.
