we might not have anyone to get these guys the ball. we have ZERO experience at QB.


wrong.............its not like they are just learning how to throw a damn Pass!!!!! Do you really think they would have gotten this far without being able to throw the ball??

This season's Offensive package will start off with a lot of runs, dinks and dunks. It will progress just like it did last season...........

:kige:

I think our passing game will be just fine. Our OLine will give our young QB's time to get the ball off and our WRs will make plays and give them confidence.

This position is probably the deepest on the team.


An argument could be made for RB or D Line, either way, thats awesome!

I'm looking for LaFell to outgain and outscore even D. Byrd. (and he's no slouch).

It was a confidence issue...that seems fixed

he has 1st or 2nd round written all over him


When talking about LaFell, he has had this issue every year going back to high school. I remember it happening his freshman year. I also remember reading an article last year where his coach was quoted as saying that he had those problems every year in high school. He was apparantly a good DB as well in high school, and it took a couple of picks on D to get his confidence back. I don't think we will know how this plays out until the year is over. I would like to think he can play a complete year without confidence issues b/c he could be very good if so. I have to wait to see it first though.

I really like what Tolliver brings. I think he can be very special with another year under his belt!

Terrance Tolliver will be the best (athletically, skill wise, and NFL worthy) out of this group hands down, but this year depends on the productivity of the other two. Just as many other people say, Tolliver will be a Superstar.

Honestly and I am not trying to diminish their abilities, but WR's are only as good as the QB's throwing it to them.

well im sure he has to be better at wide reciever than running back for him to be moved.. that just shows the depth and talent we have

he got moved cause he would have never seen the field at RB and you can always use a good down field blocking WR.

And a QB is only as good as the WRs that catch for him (and the line that blocks for him the RBs that take pressure off of him).

All those factors considered, we should have pretty good QB play.

I don't think anyone mentioned the HUGE added threat of Richard Dickson at TE.
