Message: [QUOTE="A Clockwork Orange, post: 4229821, member: 16"] I agree. He had moments where it was pretty much a '1' count and he was being chased. I also don't think he had superior pocket awareness, which doesn't help. When you're running for your life on every play though that changes your mental makeup a lot. He certainly wasn't helped here, and I don't blame the coaches for switching it up to a running QB. I think that maximized what we had last year. TD wasn't a fit because the coaching staff never surrounded him with what he needed to be successful. But I think what he needs to be successful is something Syracuse hasn't provided QBs with in decades. This is why typically our best years have been with QBs that can threaten you with the run as well. The one or two years we've done well with a pocket passer is when we had a former OL and OL coach as the head coach. [/QUOTE]
