[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 152715, member: 2175"] If you want to say the "right" quarterback, I'd agree. That would be much fairer and more accurate. But without the "right" quarterback, Tech was 7-6 or so "consistently" if you will, from '10-'14. I would not argue for a minute that even without the ideal guy the offense could be and was potent, but DCS is right in another post: nobody could make the big, or clutch, play, and the defense through those years vs. '14 was a distinction without a difference. As much as I appreciated Washington's ability to run the option, and that was substantial, he was not the "gives us a chance" QB, in Johnson's word, on 3rd and long. And both he and Nesbitt were, how to say, an adventure, throwing the ball. Lee apparently was finally the guy, until it developed he couldn't play so well under center and the quick and fast developing option was just asking too much of him. (Even ND's "next Namath" ran the option at Alabama, a little remembered fact, and was very good at it. I think I remember reading somewhere that's how he messed up his knee, but maybe not.) Anyway, as I have said before, I love the offense. But it requires the "right" QB to go all the way, so to speak. It is unfortunately an increasingly rare breed in today's shotgun offense world.
