[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 22739, member: 274"] Unless Whitfield allows QBs to go full contact 11 on 11, it doesn't mean much to me. We've all seen Vad throw pretty balls in practice and when given time in games. We have yet to see great pocket presence. It doesn't make sense to back pedal when you're already in the shotgun as you're allowing the DE to just run straight line up the field for a sack or hurry. We saw this against Ole Miss. No OL can protect a QB that way. Unfortunately I'm not in the know enough to know whether this is something CPJ or CBC have gone over with Vad in practice or when watching film. The one thing I had to remind myself this year is that Vad was not recruited to play QB in many offenses. If he was a top 10 shotgun spread option QB, let alone top 10 overall QB, coming out of HS then we would have been recruited by the likes of Oregon, Ohio State, wherever Urban Meyer was, etc. That doesn't mean Vad isn't a good QB now, but a large part of the reason folks are down on him and QB development in general was a failure to meet expectations that were probably unwarranted.
