I think we gotta face it. TD did not show himself to be a 4 star player last year. Of course his stats are up compared to the competition ...he plays in a high flying offense ...it doesn't mean he is untouchable.

His mobility was low. His ability to find an open receiver in a timely fashion was low--even when given some time. His feel for the pocket was subpar, and he was taken down too easily on the run. He has an elite arm and great accuracy when he releases ...there's no doubt about that. But those issues I just mentioned were somewhat evident in his freshman year and we saw it exasperated when he came into a starting role.

On the positive side:
1) Maybe, like many said, no one [I]can[/I] unseat him even if TD doesn't improve. There's no QB behind him who has had a great amount of time learning the offense
2) TD did improve on his pocket issues as the season wore on ...he learned to be more decisive to tuck and run
3) His offensive line did not help him last year (at all) but the line did greatly improve, and hope it will be more of a strength of this team this year
4) TD has had another offseason to improve and work on his game, and I highly expect we will continue to see great improvement from him
