We have a lot of different options at QB and there's no doubt some of these fine athletes will get their heart broken. I read that my passing guy Zack was another of the ones who was injured in highschool.....two concussions....ouch. Maybe some of them will switch positions and end up in the NFL like Stanley Jean-Baptiste.
i just want to see guys looking off their receivers and going thru their reads....and improving!
By the stats Armstrong and Bush look like twin brothers, Stanton is more of a duel-threat QB than I originally thought he was and I wonder about his D1 passing ability, Darlington seems like the best pure passer and he'd better be with two concussions already because running will not be his strong suit.
Agreed, Darlington is going to need his brain for the rest of his life, he needs to stay healthy and not take a lot of hits to the head. Running him on option plays would increase the concussion probability a lot.
I would think the # of QB runs would come from broken plays or guys covered down field and the QB takes off. There will be some designed QB runs in the playbook but how often the QB runs is going to be down from the zone read option we currently run.
regardless if the qb is armstrong, stanton or whoever, i guarantee you there will be read option and speed option incorporated into our offense next year. Its a skillset of our current players, and Riley is a master at building systems around his guys, not trying to force his guys into a system not built for them.
For all we know Riley could run the same offense because that's the type of players that were recruited and maybe recruit better passers in the future? It looks to me like we have a bunch of mediocre passing duel-threat QB's. I'd be tempted to look at DPE who was a QB in highschool and let those weak passers catch the ball...not that it will happen.
With the amount of playmakers we have had all we need is a distributor IMO we haven't had one since zac Taylor
