exactly! if you're able to reel in the best dual-threat qb in the country you tailor your offense to suit him and you don't try make that guy a wr which he's never played.

Except he ended up being a 1 threat, not dual threat

When he got here, we were running a good bit of spread shotgun plays. He excelled as a RB and should have remained there

What was annoying was that he was our most productive offensive player in a few games, and then was benched for the rest of the game as a freshman.

MSU and UGA comes to mind

My man should have gone to Oregon to play QB in that system. Guy just wasn't a wide receiver. Ultimately though, he's got a job in the league and he wouldn't have been playing QB in the NFL regardless of where he played college ball.

I do wonder if he could have made it at RB. He reminds me of Denard Robinson who made the transition from college QB to WR to NFL runningback. Shep had some success when he was used at RB his freshman season, then they totally abandoned using him like that.

Ruben randle had better passing stats in hs. Same class. No one bitched he wasn't throwing the ball.
