[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 36937, member: 639"] Let me ask you guys this question: what offense WOULD suit Vad perfectly? I am almost afraid to ask because I don't know. Maybe more practice time in the passing end of the offense would be enough to get him over the hump in a different scheme. I don't know. At present, I am not so sure a pass happy scheme would really suit him more than our offense would. There were some issues with him in the passing game, in terms of seeing the field, decision making, and mechanics of throwing, that will be hard to overcome enough to become an elite type QB in any offense. Obviously he was not bought in to our system and it affected his play. He was a gentleman about it, but to argue it didn't affect him greatly in his performance is not a reasonable position to take, especially when viewing film over the last couple years. Personally, I think our offense is pretty close to the best possible offense for his skill set. Had he given the option part (and running / speed training) of the job as much attention over the summer as he did working with Whitfield and bought in to what we do, we might be having a totally different discussion right now. In fact, when you look at it logically, going to those mainstream QB camps was a very bad decision for a guy who needed to polish his reads etc in the offense that HIS TEAM runs. He may have goals to make the NFL, but if truth be told, he probably would have had a way better chance of becoming an ALL ACC QB running the flexbone than he will playing in the NFL as a drop back passer. The physical tools and the obvious quality of character and intelligence are all there. The only thing really missing is desire to do so. [/QUOTE]
