The SEC is NOT a QB League - Week 1 Avg QBR 47

Watching SEC Network Late, I found it striking that SEC played 20+ QBs in week one (3 freshman). The average QBR was 47. LINK

There is much discussion regarding pocket passers/dual threats on this board. This league IS, and has increasingly become a running league. If you want an advantage, find the BEST runner, WHO CAN THROW. Take a look at Ole Miss in the first half of week 1. Chad Kelley lit it up. BUT, as Ole Miss remained one dimensional through out, failing to establish a consistent run game proved fatal. And oh goodness, the 800 yards of offense Louisville put on Syracuse last night (ACC). QB rushed for 175.

Be afraid of Bama's progression. The once pure ground and pound Bama offense, took its first step toward modernization, when it brought Kiffin in as the OC. Last Saturday was the NEXT big step. A dual threat QB who can toss it a country mile in Jalen Hurt (QBR 64.1). Now Bama is Bama, with mixture of Clemson/Auburn/Louisville. The point is, we too should make sure we have our most talented running QB (WHO CAN ALSO THROW) on the field. With problems that we've had with the OL, we are going to need the "new brand of SEC QB" to some how show up tonight, and for the rest of the season.
