I wish we could have seen what he could have done at QB in an offense that could have utilized his athleticism. However, he is making NFL money because of Les, not in spite of him. Les changed him to WR to get him to the next level.

He could have been a WR and got him the ball in other ways (jet sweeps, wildcat packages, bring him in motion and line him up at rb). If all Jordan Jefferson was going to do was run, Shep could do it better anyway.

That requires an innovative offensive mind that find easy to exploit players talent. Something Les and his OC seemed to lack at the time.

Shepard in the wildcat with Trindon in motion and Hill or Ware at RB as first fake handoff with a pass option. RBs threw more passes than Shepard. Les was about the 3 yards cloud of dust.
