[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 9762, member: 231"] Good reflections Vamos. My initial response to you would be while Vad should still be considered green until adversity seasons him some more as a starter I do think he has experienced some of that already. I am thinking how he got to stay in and play most of the UNC game last year because of his effectiveness in running the offense, to the extent he had learned how to at that point. Then in the bowl game he had a chance to take the game from Tevin but failed to do so and got to watch from the sidelines as the less athletically gifted but more experienced senior methodically controlled the game and ran the system. So I think he has been shown where the system can help him grow as a QB somewhat already and that natural ability is never enough. Of course, making this a reality in the games is key. Then I would say that CPJ and now Bryan Cook, heck, and even Joe Hamilton are more familiar with the psychology of a young QB than we ever will be. I think CPJ's system is flexible enough to allow him the luxury of playing to a QB (and other personnel's) strengths so that he does not need to rely on just waiting for them to learn how to run this or that aspect of the option game. I would also add that your concerns may overemphasize the role of a QB in wins and defeats. I am specifically thinking that while Vad may be green in running all aspects of the system he has some real senior talent around him, especially on the line. In fact, Vad's arm is improving our inexperienced WRs as we watch, the same may be occurring of the senior OL to Vad. He says they go to eat dinner as a group every Thursday and I do think that Vad, if confident in his abilities, is not so egocentric as to ignore their input and advice. So while your concerns are valid I am not too worried about them. I still think it more likely that if/when we lose the defense will have had a bigger hand in the defeat than QB. [/QUOTE]
