I don't care either way. My issue is recruiting a drop back passer and a running QB. Your offense has no identity. When you try to do everything, you end up not doing anything well. Pick an offensive scheme and stick to it. All the trickery in the world won't beat an offense that simply executes a handful of plays perfectly. One or the other; That's all I ask...
Dual threat is a good thing. Single-dimension is not. -Red55 Fast option QB's are my favorite to watch,.. but they're like having a too beautiful girlfriend. Probably gonna end up breaking your heart. I think the safer bet is a poised pocket passer, who can be protected. Their have been many fine leadfooted QB's. A running QB who can't throw is going to be keyed on, and if his running is shut down,.. then what?.....(sorry) A fine pocket QB, who can run for a long first down after being flushed,.. mmmm that's the ticket. Slightly off topic, but I find it intriguing; Often, SEC QB's remind me of Oregon defensive recruits,.. two thirds of a great player, with something lacking.
Agree. Does Mett fit that description? His arm seems fine, but how are his legs? Other than his audible for a scramble at the end of the Arky (?) game, have we seen him run enough to know if he can escape pressure and scramble when needed? I hope he can do both, while at the same time be a 100%, complete failure at running the option, especially to the short side of the field. That way, we might not see that play run for a season or 2. I don't think I could handle the flashbacks. :insane:
The continuous talk in sorts of the supposed dual-threat that Jefferson posed was sickening last season. I guess the commentators have to gab about something. Nearly every time Jefferson opted to set out on foot it looked absolutely awful. Jefferson's indecisiveness when attempting to run was disturbing. He was so timid and more often than not gave the defense time to close in. Whereas, if he would have not thought about as if he had all the time in the world he would have gained quite a bit more yards. I understand that you're not saying that Jefferson was a dual-threat quarter back. Jefferson was a NO-THREAT quarterback. He was not a threat in either the passing or running game.
Wasn't taking a shot a JL, he played pretty good ball this year and the numbers do not lie. But IMO he wasn't a "great" passer, good but not great. To stay on topic, dual threat QB's are a plus, always will be. If I had to pick between the 2, I want a passer. IMO if Liggins can't be developed into a passing threat, he has no business taking snaps for us. I hope like hell he can be, I hope like hell all our recruits here on out can pass better than JJ, just sayin --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=30.070285,-95.535116
Come on now, I thought you had a better look at Cam than that. And it was hard to find any handles on that T-bow fellow. But where you find the teams running the scheme, you find the players to match (these two also operated out of the spread). LSU, was in their power formation, to spread, back to power mode, during JJ's tenure. The coaches seemed to stay more confused then the players, which was considerable. I thought this year was the best identity the Tiger offense actually enjoyed, from start to stop.
