This. Someone pointed out on a sports talk show earlier in the season that opened my eyes to this. One problem LSU has is that the QB is no threat to run - at all. This allows coverages to tighten and you wind up with 11 defenders on 10 offensive guys.


Murray and Bray aren't a threat to run either, but they were the best passers in the SEC this year. McCarron isn't a threat to run, but Alabama moved the ball just fine.

We don't NEED a quarterback that is a run threat, we just need one that doesn't stand stock still in the pocket and let the pass rush run him down. A little awareness regarding how to move in the pocket to make defenders miss or get hung up on linemen is really all that's necessary. Mett just showed absolutely no ability to do that this year.

Are you serious with this shite? Bray is the only one out of that bunch who wasn't a threat to run(but could connect on his deep ball very well). And you are looking at "run threat" and labeling it "dual threat". These guys can move around the pocket and run for first downs when everything is covered or at least not get hit every single time by a blitzing corner.

Mett didn't show it in his high school tape either. The guy is unbalanced, with big clumsy plodder feet and the awareness of a one eye'd fish. He needs a shite ton of practice and it seems everybody that we have at QB is a project.
