re: Will Peter Parrish be our Taysom Hill?

And like 8 other positions.

Few things:

1.) I'm not talking about a 2 QB system, I'm talking about 1 or 2 trick/gadget plays.

2.) We now have Joe Brady, who worked directly under Sean Payton. All Parrish would really need is 1-2 RPO play with different offensive alignments.

3.) I never said anything about him being exclusively used for offense. I mentioned ST as well.

The real question is why?

Why would we want him running and RPO and not Burrow?

Again, if Taysom doesn’t do everything idk if he makes the roster to just run Read Options.

Being able to do a lot of different things is really great on a limited roster.

In college we probably have the players to fill out special teams without lining up our 3rd QB.

Why though? The numbers I posted above show that the production clearly isn’t worth it.

Peter Parrish will benefit from redshirting IMO. No sense in burning his redshirt this year

quote:

---

Players will now be allowed to play in up to four games and still qualify for a redshirt season, maintaining four years of eligibility. In the past, playing just one game could cost a player an entire season of eligibility. Coaches say the change will provide needed roster depth, improve player development and avoid many of those damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't situations where the choice becomes: Short-term need or long-term goals?

marginally better runner than Burrow.

I find it amazing that for posters who want to poke their chest out as "analysts" or "scouts", they really don't understand the difference on the field of play in 4.5 vs 4.7-4.9.

Jacob Hester & Leonard Fournette are 2 All Time GREAT Tiger running backs yet both had different styles & physical gifts.

Fournette: 4.51 40 @ the NFL Combine

Hester: 4.62 40 @ the NFL Combine

The difference might not seem that great but when discussing the ability to separate from defenders, it means a great deal. In comparing Fournette & Hester, Fournette's 40 time shows why he was the bigger home run threat anytime he touched the ball. Both RBs ran with power but Fournette possessed another gear as to where he could take a 15-20 yard gain, 70-80 yards while Hester could not. That is the difference in speed when comparing Burrow & Parrish yet somehow some seem to think the difference in speed is only "marginal".

It’s amazing that you can make up Butrow’s 40 time as something in the 4.7-4.9 range and pretend you have credibility.

Sorry we aren’t putting all out faith in a reported camp 40.

The guys doesn’t play that much faster.

Burrow speed doesn't scare any disciplined SEC defense. (Alabama, Florida, Miss State). And again, it also shows the opposing defense something they've never seen before. (We're talking about trick/gadget plays)

---

1. Burrow is fast enough
2. We have to run a play they haven’t seen before do that to be true. they’ve seen a QB run an options

Real world Example: If you were taking a test and see a question that wasn't in the study guide, what are you going to do?

---

Stick to what I know and try and answer it.

Most people who line up at WR get treated like a WR. Most players who line up as a QB get treated like a QB. Rarely does a backup come in to throw the ball.

quote:

---

The fact is both Taysom and Parrish are on the roster so why not use them to the best of their abilities.

---

NFL rosters and NCAA rosters are different animals.

quote:

---

Here's my question: Do you see any either Parrish or Taysom starting for their respective franchise/program in the future? If the answer's no. What's there to lose

---

The difference is the saints don’t have 15 guys who are 6’2” 220 and run a 4.44.

Taysom Hill wasn’t effective because he ran “trick plays” he mostly ran plays that work well when you’re big fast and strong.

Based on the production posted above, “effective” likely isn’t the word you’re looking for

hes basically a RB who is our Wildcat QB

No the frick he isn't.
If you don't know something don't speak on it and be pos in the process.

Have you lived in cave the past 20 years? College teams constantly did this when the wildcat became popular. Also, Bama spelled Tua with Hurts last season despite Tua being a playmaker with his legs himself.

---

How many teams with mobile QBs took out the risk of throwing the ball to play their RB in the Wildcat?

And the Tua/Hurts situation is completely different. Hurts was the backup QB coming in during blowouts. Not a running QB.
