Is Jennings that guy? I damn sure hope so.

I hope so too, but my opinion is that he isn't. Out of last years recruiting class, I liked Rettig better. Before its said, nothing to do with race; I think he looked to be a better pocket passer, which IMO is what we need. We don't need another QB who spends all his time trying to run (and this forcing the coaching staff to waste time designing plays for him to run) when we clearly have backs who are more than capable of grinding out yards. Zach was a perfect match for us because he provided the other shade of that and made huge plays in the passing game, but at the same time had no problem handing the ball off.

I'm hoping the presence of Cam will stop us from trying to run with the QB but I have an itching feeling that it won't. If not, we WILL have another JJ. Period. We NEED A QB WHO PASSES. End of story.

To clarify, I am not speaking at all about scrambling; obviously it is a great skill and I have no issue with it. The lack of it is Mett's biggest weakness. I'm talking more about DESIGNED runs like we tried to run with JJ all the time. Or the horrible option shite we did with him (see: the "fumble" on 1/9 where JJ basically handed the ball to the defender).
