Beck was also the running backs coach before being promoted to QB, and they didn't run an air-raid at KU. He's also the guy who recruited Armstrong, so... that doesn't really make sense.
Sorry, I won't agree with that.
Armstrong has constantly been asked to make plays and be more of a passing QB than using his legs. I'm not necessarily saying Beck was calling too many passing plays..etc. I'm saying Armstrong was never going to be the type of QB Beck needed....even though he recruited him.
There was always a struggle between what the OC wanted and what Armstrong was able to do.
You don't have to agree. Just look at the QB's he recruited. Tommy Armstrong, Jamal Turner, Bubba Starling, Johnny Stanton, AJ Bush, etc...
That's what he recruited. None of those guys were what I'd call good passers.
That's on Beck.
A real "Who's not" list of QB's. Yeesh.
