VT QB Logan Thomas- Am I crazy?
Jun 18, 2012, 5:49 PM

I keep reading as much college football info as I can and always keep up to date on everything. I'm hearing publications and tv shows drool over Logan Thomas and talk about how much of a great QB he is. To be fair, I really only watched Thomas play against us twice where we obviously dominated him. Was he Heisman-like in the other games? Am I completley missing something here? I know he is physically impressive but I was just wondering if anybody else was thinking this?

He's got the size and can run ......

but I thought his release and decision making was slower than it needs to be. Hopefully for us the improvements will come after he leaves vt.

He did nothing special all year. Same as EJ everyone loves his size and expects him to be great. VT loses all there good wr and a great rb I look for him to take a step back this year.

If Logan could throw like Boyd

or Boyd could run like Logan, THEN you'd have a Cam Newton type. I know some may not like this , but Boyd is slow.Maybe that's why his passing game is so dang good.

Boyd was never projected to be a mobile QB.

day, thanks in large part to Cam Newton. Lazy sports writers and "analysts" jump on the bandwagon because he seems to fit the mold; i.e. he is supposed to be good, and they are supposed to recognize that he's good. It doesn't matter how well he makes decisions or how good of a passer he is; he must be great because he fits the mold and everybody says he is.

It's all VT hype! They needed a QB and they hyped him into the job. He's really an average tight end. Now that defenses can keep him from running he is an average passer and will not be much in years to come!

Who? Logan Thomas? Is another team looking for the next Jamarcus Russell?

I think the hype is overstated, but he is a good QB.

He had a great game against Miami last year(23 of 25 3 TDs) and is big and athletic. Obviously he didn't play great against Clemson last season, but just like Tajh he was a sophomore with a lot of room to grow.
He's a big guy with a lot of upside. A lot of good QBs graduated the last few years (Luck, Locker, Newton, Tebow, RGIII, etc.), so people are looking for the next top level group.

probably has the most difficulty road with only 3 starter returning on offense and he's 1 of them.
