Please go pro so Tech can have a chance with a new qb.you cant take a te and make him a qb and this year proved what life is like without david Wilson.I wish Beamer would go pro.

I’m a Hokies living in Charlotte. The Panthers and Hokies mirror each other. They both have no OL, Running game, or coaching. He lost two of the top WR in VT history and a great RB. Thats why the numbers dropped. If he stays he’ll be a first rounder. If he leaves he’ll be a 4-6 round guy. Look at Tyrod, maybe the best that has been at VT minus Vick. Tyrod went round 6 or 7. The fact is if he stays he’ll be a more fundamentally sound QB. For him it’s a win, win to stay.

Logan has nothing to gain by staying at VT another year. They will not be a contender at bowl level and are virtually rebuilding at his expense. Anything he has to learn will come from the next level at whatever position best suits his talent. Business is business and he must avoid injury as the only weapon of offense and get engaged at the pro level. He will be better coached with his skillset at the pro level. Go at 2nd or 3rd round and enjoy the view from those seats. Your attributes will serve you well Logan.

Not to beat a dead horse, but wtf is that grip LT is using to throw a football??? Hope he starts running post routes and catches a few balls before the combine.

If I were a VT fan, I would hope that he goes. As a Clemson fan, I sure hope he comes back

Hey the reality is LT is not accurate with short passes and cant scramble..I think Vick, Randall and Taylor were better suited for Tech’s offense!

Joe I agree with several of your items, partically #26. HE returns and with the same offensive line does he have any chance for improvement. Frank Beamer may keep his entire coaching staff.

Anyone who thinks that LT is not the best option for VT next year is out of their mind. Yeah his completion percentage was lower (still above 50%) and the team lost a lot of games, but the WR, OL and RB corps had as much to do with that as anything. Unfortunately I don’t see any of those getting better next year.

Had he not been so overtly, publicly awful in the Bowl I would tell him to skeedadle, but that performance is going to leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

It’s unfortunate for him because this would be a much better year to try his luck in the draft, but he’s got to come back. Should he test poorly in the combine or tweak something it’ll introduce enough doubt to push him back as far as or 6th round.

Still the thought of Mike Glennon going in the first round must make him think “are you kidding me?”. I’m not sure Mike is any better than Sean.

Scot Loeffler & Jeff Grimes were interviewed TODAY in Blacksburg for the Hokie Offensive Coordinator & Offensive Line coaching positions. Both men lost their jobs at Auburn in early December when Gus Malzahn was hired.

Thank goodness Frank Beamer waited until a month after they lost their jobs to interview them. I guess that shows how loyal he is to the coaching fraternity. Right, Chili?

I think it will be best for the Hokie football program if Logan Thomas moves on to the NFL. As talented and competitive as Thomas is, he does not possess the passing/mobility skill set which previous successful Tech quarterbacks have had. It will be better for the Tech football program if a new quarterback, better suited with these skills, is allowed to step in next season. There is no doubt Logan will be successful in the NFL, probably at tight end or wide receiver.
