If true then every snap he takes at QB is a wasted snap. If his future is at WR then get every rep you can at WR

Da truth supatigah. Sumlin has the kid's best interest in mind though.

I mean, maybe a QB package, but no chance Sumlin thinks a HS option QB is gonna run his air raid.

Speedy's a great fit for their offense which distributes the ball all over the place and puts a premium on putting playmakers in space. That's why he went there, IMO.

The QB part is just part of the deal and is being way overblown by people. Hes an offensive weapon and they are just gonna try to get him the ball in a variety of ways. No different than the different ways Percy Harvin was given the ball at UF and no different than teams running the wildcat. The object is to get the ball to your playmakers. Its not like they are gonna be setting him up in a 4 wide set and let him sling it around. Hes gonna be used on qb runs, zone read or just as misdirection. He may throw 2 passes his whole career

The bigger part of the deal is the defensive side of the ball thing. I will be suprised if that part is upheld.

Speedy would prob be a better qb anyway. Shepard made the NFL, he wasn't going to be a qb. LSU held up their end of the bargain.

I didn't think the guy could qualify. He can barely put together a sentence. Good luck to him, he will need it.

I think the reason he went to A&M is because he feels like he will be showcased in their offense and doesn't like the idea of blocking for Fournette for 3 to 4 years.

He didn't want to play QB on his own highschool team.

I wish this nonsense would stop. He's enrolled @ A&M. No chance for LSU or anyone not named TAMU. People need to get over it.
