re: So what's all the Russell Shepard hype from the scrimmage

if we use him like florida uses percy harvin, and he never officially takes the position of qb, you will never hear a complaint from me...

things are really looking up

i still don't think shep is ever going to be a "real" QB for LSU

He could easily stay at QB and make a real impact there without being the teams pocket passer though. Nothing wrong with having a Pat White playing and getting significant playing time for 3-4 years while having a pocket passer do the same. Will help him stay healthier even.

I disagree. "If you have two QBs you might as well not even have one". We need one guy in the back field. If you want a wrinkle formation, thats fine, but the dual QB is not a good idea, IMO

I took the comments from the original poster that he wasn't going to be playing QB at all. Shep hasn't practiced anywhere BUT QB.

Yeah I the he was thinking that way, but like Doc said, and like he always does this time of year, Miles is being vague about who will play where.

I can't wait for the spring game. However, this early in the spring I wouldn't be surprised that RS's field day hitting holes has a good bit to do with the D still getting comfortable with a new system. Our D (and most in the country) has had major trouble with duel threat QB's and I'm really glad they get to go up against one every day. The D will be NASTY this year!

I heard Tyler Hanover was going to be our Hail Mary QB for end of game situations. Miles found out he throws a baseball 100 mph from 3rd to 1st.

Only true in pure pro style offenses

Having a Pat Whiteesque QB to supplement a true passing QB is not the same as a "duel QB" situation. The running QB is just another RB, with the threat there that he can pass it every blue moon to keep the defense honest.
