[QUOTE="Techster, post: 43023, member: 360"] Vad is fast. He may not have looked it last year, but you go replay what he did against UNC 2012, a few runs against USC 2012...dude can book it. The guy will be a mid 4.4 to low 4.5 guy. He's not quick like JT in the first 10 yards or in short spaces, but the guy in the open field is a sight to behold. I really don't remember too many times where he did get in the open field last season. There were plenty of times where he could have pulled it down and taken off (and he probably should have), but I think his training with George Whitfield to stay in the pocket combined with his desire to be a passer kept him in the pocket looking down the field longer than ideal. See his first pass in the hightlights where he got smacked: [media=youtube]xFENdIagkj8[/media] (BTW...for those saying he checked out mentally, just look at the clip of him imploring his teammates who were all surrounding him) Vad of 2012 probably would have taken off on that TD pass, and probably taken off instead of throwing that INT. So you kinda get it both ways there. I think the one thing JT displayed the times I got to see him in Spring 2013 and last season is the ability to buy time in behind the LOS with his legs and keep his eyes down the field. That's a good quality to have in this offense, especially with the OL problems we've been having. Of course, if our QBs can make quicker reads sometimes that helps with OL problems. That of course is the passing game, which we do about 20% of the time...so the other 80% of the time our blocking on the interior and perimeter affects the outcome of the play. [/QUOTE]
