Apparently there are still people who think RS will be under center next season. Hell, a few td.com members think he will be the starting qb in Atlanta.

While RS may not be a full time QB, it is still no excuse for not letting him throw at least on pass this whole year out of the wildcat (or hell, even running the wildcat). If I told you before last year that Dexter McCluster would have attempted more pass than RS, you would have either assumed I was a complete a-hole or that RS got hurt before the season started.

Also let's not assume that since Miles isn't letting him throw the ball it means that he can't throw at all. Remember back in 2007 when we had another backup QB who was at the beginning of the season used only to run the option and threw a few trick pass plays out of it. Some people still claimed that the reason he wasn't throwing more was because he probably couldn't. I mean why would Miles not use a huge weapon like that if he had it, right? Well we come to find out that when the starter got hurt, we sent this man in and he only went 22-25 for the game. Oh then he started in the SECCG as well and did pretty good.

Not saying that RS = RP in throwing ability. Just saying don't trust the fact the coaches aren't letting him throw because he can't.

He does not, which is what really pisses me off. The coaching staff seems to know this but they insist on letting him pursue this unachievable goal and burned his red shirt year for nothing. They could have developed him into the next Percy Harvin. Perhaps there is still time, but I doubt it with this offensive staff. At least they let S. Ware know where they were going to develop him.

No. He, himself, doesn't even want to play the position.
Was this serious?
