[QUOTE="Techster, post: 44343, member: 360"] To me, this is the bottom line with JT and Byerly: JT PRO: Represents our best chance for a big play on any given snap at the QB position. Phenomenal ability to exploit the slightest crease in defensive gaps and get into the second level. Has the rare ability to "see" defenders behind him buy time to make something out of nothing when it seems he's hemmed in. CONS: Durability is an issue with him. Got hurt in our first open scrimmage, and was held out due to injury in our official scrimmage. Yes he could have played had it been a real game, but for how long? Having a hurt shoulder as a QB in our offense isn't conducive for fighting for yards between the tackles, or having a defender fall on you while you're going to the ground....both of which happens a lot for QBs in our offense. In the 3 weeks of spring training, injuries have cost him playing time twice. Now that he's QB1, his contact with the defense is going to grow exponentially over time. All that wear and tear adds up on any person, especially with a person with a small frame like JT. If he has a leg injury like a sprained ankle or ham string pull (which Nesbitt had a lot of), then you take away a large portion of why JT is seen as QB1...the ability to break a big play. Unlike JT, when Nesbitt had those injuries he could still be a bulldozer and fight for those few extra yards running our offense. Does not seem to have the offense down as well at Byerly, but does seem more fluid in it than Vad. Byerly PRO: Is starting to understand the offense on the same level as Tevin Washington. Understands the nuances of timing, and the intricacies that makes our offense run like a machine. Not going to wow you in terms of physical ability, but like someone mentioned, by the end of the game you look at the stats and his production will surprise you. Somehow, when TB is running the offense, the offense seems to find itself in the red zone.
