For proper context Fedora is referring to having him unlearn the under center footwork and slow Tempo that did not utilize his talents at LSU and led to him taking his first 10 sks vs. ALA and ARK, hurried on over 50% of his dropbacks, and being injured by Cyrus Jones on a 2nd Qtr game-tying 40 yd pass to Dural and being put in 3rd and forever too often.

At LSU he regularly lined up under center and was required to master five- and seven-step drop backs. In UNC’s offense, though, there’s really no such thing as dropping back to pass, as quarterbacks almost exclusively operate out of the shotgun.

“Our footwork that we take here is totally different than what I did at LSU,” Harris said. “Out of the spread and under center is totally different.” This means he will get rid of the ball in 1/3 the time and have far fewer sacks.

Peyton Manning was hardly ever sacked for the same reason. Manning also had this quote: "There’s a saying that goes, treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be and he will become what he should be." Add in what Wade Phillips said "“I don’t understand the people that say, ‘Hey, this is our scheme and that guy can’t play in it,’ Phillips said Friday. “Well, to me, there’s something wrong with your scheme. You adapt the scheme to what the players can do, not what you can think of.."

It is the same system he ran in High School. He will be the center of the Offense, have control over calls, and has given Fedora and his teammates all have really high hopes.

"Cameron's resume is unquestioned"

CAMERON was fired from Indiana where he won less than 1/3 of his games (18-37) with Antwaan Randle El who finished his career with a 49% completion rate. He was also fired by Miami (1-15), twice by the Ravens after making no progress with Flacco, and twice from LSU with 1 Jindal pardon thrown in.

His only qualification is BFF with Miles and Best Man at each other's weddings, godfathers of each other's sons.

After being fired from the Ravens he was replaced by Mannings ex-HC, Jim Caldwell, who simplified the Offense and gave Flacco the controls in an up-Tempo spread. Flacco finished the postseason having completed 73-of-126 (57.9 percent) passes for 1,140 yards with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions, tying Montana and Kurt Warner for the most touchdowns in a single postseason and additionally tying Montana for the most touchdowns without an interception in a single postseason. Flacco's 117.2 passer rating tied him for third place all-time with Steve Young in a Super Bowl-winning postseason. He was rewarded with a $120 million dollar contract.

Turned out that all of Bum's QBs were skilled at handing off to Earl.
