[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 223007, member: 2299"] I don't know who will be the QB in 2017 but I think it's very likely we'll struggle there. QB, even in our system, is not a position that you move guys away from for one year while you wait for the depth to thin out. It's not comparable to the idea of playing Allen at Aback one year then moving him to Bback, or trying guys out for one year at QB before moving to other positions. The fact that TM started here as an Aback and Jordan was moved to AB last year tells me that Johnson didn't consider either of them long term fixtures at the QB position. If you think a guy has a chance to be the started after Thomas, you don't put him at/switch him to another position. There is too much value in the experience even as a third string QB to make that move. Marshall only touched the ball 11 times last year, and nearly half of those came against the first two OOC teams we played. Jordan wouldn't have done much more either. To act like those moves were one year decisions is wishful thinking. Those were moves made with 2-3 years down the road in mind. Not just that year. Both are good athletes, but it takes more than athleticism to be a QB. Hopefully though we either have a stud freshman QB, true or RS, or Johnson was mistaken in his evaluations of one or both Marshall and Jordan. [/QUOTE]
