Some will think otherwise (because: reasons? ) but this is VERY good news!

Heal up Tommy, and get back to slingin' it like it's 2018.

Se queda!

 

[Briancuse]

Dads are always right.

 

[Chip]

Wait a minute, I thought his name was Redrum?

 

[tep624]

This is good news, we should all be happy about this.

 

[rrlbees]

Excellent news. Our best chance at a decent season. Still need the OL to upgrade.

For the love of god, make damn sure the OL is ready to go by next season.

 

[GoCuse14]

Awesome news.

Great news

Despite what a lot of posters may think, this is a very important positive for Syracuse University Football in 2021. Thank you for staying loyal young man, now go light it up. Go Orange!!!!!!!

Appreciate TD's loyalty to the program. Let's give him some help and get the offense going

 

[MSOrange]

Even if you have some concerns about Tommy's game, I'd sure as heck rather have him than not have him, if we hope to have a decent season.

Best news we could hope for this early in the offseason

Kid is a good teammate and cares so him coming back helps the QB room.

I don’t mind if he starts on the top of the depth chart in the spring.
We just need real depth at the position.

Most important news for Syracuse football. Our success with senior QBs putting it together for a final season are amazing. Very few have flamed out (Graves). I hope he has a Philcox, Dungey, McNabb, Donnie Mac like last year and he's able to go out with his head held high and an exotic trip to a faraway bowl game.

Merry Christmas to Syracuse fans. The work isn't done but this shows a desire to work within the program.

This is...shocking...from some of the conversations I’ve had.

however, I think this is a big step for next season

I would look at a decent backup on the transfer market, it would have helped if we got our freshman qbs this year some more reps, instead of playing a 5th year senior, but what can you do?

JaCobian played over Rex until he got hurt. I think you can say based on that, that Tex wasn’t ready to even take that many reps. It’s unsafe to put kids in those positions when they are not quite there yet

Then that is on the coaching staff for not getting him ready. When your 1-8 and 1-9, playing a 5th year senior makes zero sense.

Christmas present unwrapped early. Thank you, TommyD. Glad you are staying Orange.

Hell with backup, we need legit competition from within or transfer portal. To just give him the job is why we are where we are with QBs the last two seasons.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

A senior/experienced QB combined with a senior/experienced oline usually results in good things happening. Hoping Servais also returns and the rest of the line can stay healthy this offseason.

 

[Trueblue25]

A lot of ugly conjecture on this forum debunked

Lol. No - you go into a season with limited camp hoping to not have to get true freshman QB #4 game ready vs Notre Dame. Plus, development isn’t just on the coaches. Players aren’t robots.

I’m all for getting young guys experience, esp this year. But it’s good to have a 5th year Sr who is able to run the offense enough to keep himself safe.
