The only criticism about AJ in the game is this...it does no good to have an athletic QB if he doesn't use his feet and run with the football when protection breaks down. Too many such guys appear afraid of being pigeon-holed as runner and not a passer. They want a pro career and therefore won't run even if it's in the teams best interest sometimes. If that's going to be the case, just play the best passer, no matter if he can't run at all. Give me a Mett who can at least pass it well, even if he has concrete for feet...lol...

A few years ago, "JJ runs too much".

Now, "AJ doesn't run enough".

It is MUCH easier to teach a quarterback to run that is to get him NOT to run. That's actually not a bad problem to have right now.

Phil is correct. AJ is too athletic not to run the ball several times a game. It will make things easier for him in the passing game. He'll figure it out. Id rather have a guy that u have to kick in the arse to run vs one thats thinking run before the snap.

You cant start talking about the Heisman with a freshman after one drive. And u cant say he thinks he's Drew Brees after one bowl game against a veteran team either. He had command of the huddle, he's going to be a good player. If we can run the football, AJ will make plenty of plays.

He's 1-0 in bowl games and has led a huge comeback winning drive.
