[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 133496, member: 198"] I've held off commenting, thinking that some sounder minds than mine would venture into this discussion. Even though some have, they haven't said exactly what I've been thinking, so I'll add my two cents to this discussion. I think it would be a highly questionable move. TB is athletic and tough, but he's a hard-running QB not a RB. To switch from QB, where he's played his entire life, to a hand-in-the-ground running back would not be an easy exercise (yes, I know David Sims and Synjyn Days). Everyone focuses on how tough a runner he is (and he is), but what we've seen is him as a QB, not an every-down RB. There's a huge difference. Boomer compared him to Sims, which is the best comparison we have, but I think there's a big difference between those to guys athleticly. David looked like an athlete carrying the ball when he ran it as a QB, TB looks like a running QB carrying the ball. With that, it took DS a couple of years to really "get it" as a B-Back. (I know he shot up the depth chart quickly, but as [USER=195]@AE 87[/USER] posted, that was partly because CP was injured. I just think that DS and TB are different kinds of runners. On this team, TB is the back-up QB, who will probably get to see time in 2015 as QB. JT is very tough and good at avoiding direct contact, but we were lucky to get through the season without seriously needing TB to step in. I hope 2015 is the same, but I wouldn't bank on it. As good as Jordan has developed, I'm pretty sure he's not at TB's level. If something happens to JT, I want TB to be able to step in and lead the team. He's earned that and has shown he's more than capable (Duke 2014). CPJ is going to play the guys he thinks will give him the best opportunity to win, and I don't think that will be TB at BB. If TB was a sophomore and MJ and CC were pushing him for the #2 spot, maybe. But, not in this situation. [/QUOTE]
