[QUOTE="stylee, post: 22756, member: 882"] I am not sure Vad "shines" in a pass-heavier offense. He threw at a pretty big clip under Tevin's % last year. His passing yards-per-attempt was below Tevin's last year. He has trouble completing the Smoke route. We can say "well, that's because he's not being developed as a throwing QB!" but that misses the mark because we can compare his passing to other CPJ QBs. If he were truly a natural passer whose abilities were being suppressed by our coaching staff, we could expect to see more flashes of brilliance from him in the passing game. The problem isn't in his arm, which is pretty strong and decently accurate. It's that he lacks the ability to read defenses consistently and loses his composure throwing the ball when rattled. If he transferred, he's not going to turn into Dan Marino in some other offense. I like the guy a lot and certainly do think we should focus on his strengths. However, I think a lot of people drastically over estimate those strengths. He's a fast guy who became really unaggresive running the ball this year. He's got a good arm but has consistency issues with his throws at all ranges and doesn't read secondaries great right now. He can get better and shine. But that's who he is right now [/QUOTE]
