    Why would you get lit up for a reasonable opinion? Good post. :thumb:

    :yelwink2:.. dunno, seems I remember some taking offense to anyone critiquing Shep's ability as a QB.

    No, because it will always be looked for. I'd expect to see one of the RBs throw before Shepard.

    That's already happened.

    Spencer Ware to Reuben Randle vs AU last season.

    Magee is a threat to do it this year...

    I would be shocked if he threw a single pass (in an actual game).

    I agree. But a pass from Shepard or Randle off of a reverse would catch many defenses unprepared. Especially if Shepard lines up in the slot and has the defense thinking run.

    No offense, but that exact scenerio has been discussed so many times and worn out.

    In short? He hasn't so much as sniffed an attempt so the answer from me as to whether he'll throw one is a resounding, "no".

    The fans have waited for it...the opposition has probably waited for it as well. 2 years and counting and nothing. Expect that to continue.

    I think RS starts at QB this year. He was just biding is time.

    Actually last year they called a pass option play for Shep but can't remember which game. He rolled out and made a move like a pass was coming but the pressure was on him and he tucked and ran with it near the sideline.
