Touchdown Tommie Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 we need some damn linemen. As we all know it starts with the big guys up front. If we don't have good lineman that can hold their blocks for at least 3-5 seconds, then it doesn't matter how moblie your QB is. He will always be looking to run for his life. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 A "dual" qb won't work in this offense. But a qb that can pick up a first down, such as Brett Favre, Steve Young, Joe Monatana, and even Donavan McNabb who now is a pcket qb, it is great to have someone like that. I don't know if Keller is a player like that though. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think Keller is more of one of those pocket moblie QBs. More along the lines of Brady. Not a running threat at all, but can move around in the pocket to avoid the sacks, something that Taylor has issues with. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I know it's tough, but I wish ZT would try to throw the ball away. It doesn't seem like he does that, but just put his head down and take the sack. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 You have to be mobile in that you can easily avoid a sack in a collapsing pocket. Anything more than that is gravy. I'd take a dual threat, pass then run, QB in Callahan's offense. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 We need a more moble QB. Zac has no mobility at all. Even if he doesn't run more for yardage he needs to be more mobile to evade a sac by getting rid of the ball. In Zac's favor though, with the pounding he took last season if he had tried to run the ball more we would have had to finish the season with Ganz as QB. Keller is not much of a runner either. Last season he finished with -94 yards and a -4.9 average. Although I'm sure he lost a lot of those yards on pass plays that collapsed. This offense is not built for a mobile QB people. Yeah, Rich Gannon and Steve Young weren't mobile QB's Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Yeah, Rich Gannon and Steve Young weren't mobile QB's No, not at all. The guy barely had legs. I mean, he ran on 3rd down quite a bit and picked up many a first down, but what does that count? Is it next Saturday yet? Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think Zac Taylor is a very good QB but he has no mobility on blitzes. I know Sam Keller will be a very good QB next year, but does he have more mobility than Zac does? The thing that I fear about having a mobile QB in this offense is that mobile QB's tend to be less patient in the pocket. I just don't think that a mobile QB would work in this offense. And boy was it a pretty run,lol. First he braces himself for 3 seconds then sees he hasn't got hit yet and says gosh, i can run. Can you do us a favor and run along and be "busy" for another 5 weeks?. Sure was nice while you were away! Quote Link to comment

Come on look at damn near every tem that is winning has a MOBILE QB.... Willis Quote Link to comment
BornNBredRed Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I prefer to focus on the real issue, that being the offensive line. We need to continue to recruit and build up a line that allows us to run the offense. Sure, a mobile quarterback has its advantages but is not the answer. Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I prefer to focus on the real issue, that being the offensive line. We need to continue to recruit and build up a line that allows us to run the offense. Sure, a mobile quarterback has its advantages but is not the answer. Most coaches say that you build a team through the offensive line and the secondary. We have seen that when Taylor has protection, he does everything you could ask of a quarterback. We've also seen that when the line doesn't open holes, the running backs - no matter how great - can't make yards. Get back to having great offensive lines, and you can get by with less than stellar talent at almost every position... Quote Link to comment
Hawkeyehusker Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 We got a boat load of offensive linemen in our last recruiting class. I don't remember the total number of them right off the top of my head but it had to be six or seven of them. Hopefully they wil start to step up soon. I understand Callahan may want them to redshirt and bulk up first but by the time the spring game comes around they should be ready to start seeing some playing time. Quote Link to comment
