To be fair he was having a decent game up through our TD. After that though it was rough. He should have came out after the fumble. We were down 10 and needed a spark. Yes, Tommy is the better passer but it wasn't happening. More of Dino's lack of feel for the game.
When TD sucked in the Notre Dame game in 2018, when he had the same team Eric did it gave us and all the other ACC teams, the recipe for defending TD.
TD was competent when he was behind a line that would give him time to throw, he did fine as a backup to Dungey in 2018 in the FSU and NC games (our best line in the past 7-8 years) and then started to struggle in 2019 and beyond. So I would say that our struggles with fielding a competent OL 2 deep would have submarined TD anyway, father or not. He's just not effective behind an offensive line that is at least above average in pass protecting.
Yep, yet more proof that, by definition, TD was a paper tiger.
Not trying to throw shade or make anything look a certain way. I was a and still am a DeVito supporter. Always hoped the young man would live up to his hype. Obviously that did not happen at Syracuse. We will have to see how it works out anywhere else. Personally, I don't think he should have done any interview with any media and he should stay off social media etc. DeVito is no longer part of the Syracuse program so it's time for all of us to move on.
“He’d be really good behind a good OL and with good WR’s”...who wouldn’t??
It has been discussed frequently but there have been plenty of posts by family that are non-issues. The obsession though by some, with some, is weird to me.
Does anyone else find it absolutely bizarre that they show-up for an interview with props! Talk about insecure. If anything, TD hurt his chances with landing spots. From the beginning, his father was/is TD's biggest obstacle to achieve success...what a shame.
It tells me the intent was 100% to embarrass the staff. Kinda backfired.
Is DeVito on Axe right now?
Those games the teams didn't have time to prepare for him. He failed miserably against Notre Dame who pressured him, and that was the way teams in the future played him.
Just finished about 15 minutes ago.
That would be insane if so. What purpose?
Yup. The dad is a nasty person -- no surprise there. We gave him more than enough chances. And this is definitely backfiring on the old man. And going to make TD toxic to potential landing spots. I'm sure his Dad thinks he's spinning it as building excuses for why TD sucked here. But other coaches will see the same stuff we all saw and opposing coordinators did.
He has a recurring spot every Thursday. He did his last one just now. He said people should try making a chicken parm sub but using vodka sauce instead of red sauce. That sounds delicious!
Okay….that sorta makes sense. Sorta.
If he had interest last year, he would have left. His dad made that quite clear I thought. The fact he stayed said more about external interest than it did Syracuse.
