I would not have thought anything of that interview if I had not read your post honestly. So I think you its stirring things up more than anything. Only thing I saw was Ace mentioned Shaw being more of a scrambler and Dylan being solely a passer. Not much there.

[daviddrena]

I was actually talking about when he was referring to the cofidence in the wr corp. How they had confidence they just needed someone to have confidence in them. You might be right though maybe I'm just thinking too much into his statments.

Dylan has a better arm. Shaw has better mobility. I'd like to see what Dylan can do with a month to prepare as starter going into the bowl game.

[SpecOps Cock]

Yeah i took it as Dylan will pass us the ball while connor will run. If that doesnt say enough im getting off this board. i know all the sunshine pumpers for connor will be saying this and that but dylan throws the ball and thats what we need.

i can't tell what interview you're talking about b/c that link just goes to their main page, which is constantly changing, but i do remember the interview after the clemson game (which maybe is the one you're referring to) where he was talking about how he and the other receivers were dying to prove how much of a factor they could be in a game if someone would just give them a chance. he didn't cross the line or anything, but he came real close to calling Connor out and saying that the offense needs a true QB who can get the ball into the hands of the playmakers. again, nothing over the line, but he made it pretty clear towards the end of the season that he was unhappy with how little the ball was coming out to him and the rest of the WR corps.

[CWall2001]

I like DT. I have tons of respect for him as a person and I think he's done well when we've asked him to fill in. But remember, he still hasn't done anything against a decent defense. He has been clutch and stepped up when we needed him but he hasn't had much experience against really good teams. Doesn't mean he can't and won't flourish when given that opportunity, just that I wouldn't anoint him as best QB on our roster just yet. Would be interesting to see what he could do with more preparation.

[Cockholio]

Well, I'll say it. Dylan gets our WR's into the game and utilizes them the way they're meant to be utilized. Connor, every now and then, but mostly, not so much.

[STEPHONGILMOREFAN!]

Dylan> connor. Sorry. Very simple. Everyone on this board thinks they can say he "didn't play a good defense" and "Connor was hurt". Okay. If he was hurt. Sit your ass on the bench don't hurt the team by playing at 60 percent. Two, if dylan throwin for three scores and over 300 yards isn't impressive against Clemson in a rivalry game away. Then exactly how impressive was connors game against wofford? Dylan can sling the rock. Connor can throw a ball. But so can ace. And marcus. And justice. And every other player on our team. To me.. connor is an athlete playing qb. Dylan is a quarterback. The receivers respond better to dylan because they know when they get open he will throw them the ball.. why work to get open when u turn around yo see ur qb running. End of story

[Rebel4ever]

I would start to get irritated as a WR running routes, turning seeing QB running. Not saying Ace is, just I would.

[JDRAY^#]

I thought the same thing when I saw this interview. Seems like they prefer Dylan.

[Lonnie]

The scariest thing in that video is Ace said he sent in his paper work to the NFL...

That is what I heard as well, seemed to me Ace was saying we have the skills just need the ball thrown our way.

hes not leaving, most juniors send in paper work just to get feed back of what the scouts say about them and what they need to work on.

i have seen over time ace get real frustrated with connor at the end of routes. in the heat of the moment he cant help but react when a ball goes somewhere else or he gets overthrown. saying that, i believe those things happen over time and the same thing would happen if dylan was in there. receivers want the ball every play.

the difference b/t Thompson and Shaw is, like Spurrier said,"I don't call pass plays for you to run the football". When a pass play is called, it seems like there is a 80% chance Shaw is going to run and 20% chance he is going to pass. Thompson is just the opposite maybe even 90% pass and 10% run. From what I have seen the during the games the receivers can fully commit to running clean routes with Thompson in the game because they have the confidence in Thompson that he will throw the ball. When Shaw is in the the WR have to also worry about abandoning their routes to block down field.

[crowcutta]

he did say that the receivers have felt they were capable they just needed the opportunities, but he also mentioned the difference between coverages they face when shaw is in the game rather than thompson. that likely means more zone.

[2000grad]

I'm sure that Ace is glad that both are on the team

[COCKYTALKIN]

As a QB the best thing you can do is spread the ball around a little bit to keep all of the WR's in the game. That's what you do. There is no doubt in my mind that frustration exists with our WR's. But, that can be said about most any team. WR's always want the ball more, that's why they run routes. I would be a little disappointed if they weren't a little frustrated. Shoot, I'd like to see them get their hands on the ball more. Main case in point for DT.

[Gamecock1983]

I don't really get that feeling from his comments there. But, after watching his body language and reactions when playing for both QBs at different points this season...I'm inclined to agree. When Connor is in, it's almost like the WRs start running sloppy routes b/c they don't expect to get the ball. Granted...Connor can deliver them the ball. But, is that really his first instinct?
