[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 22043, member: 623"] IMO - The system is not Vad's problem. 70% of college football teams run some sort of read option. Vad's reads have improved as the season has went along, and are usually better when he is under center. I will admit my data sample is skeewed because we run more from our base formation. Vad is his own worst enemy. Lets look at the last pass play where he threw a pick. Vad had protection in the pocket, but instead of stepping up, he tried to roll out. He had to evade the defender and threw a lame duck off his back foot. This is a mental mistake, and it is a coachable moment. This has nothing to do with our option offense, it is just signs of a maturing QB. I think we are fortunate to have some really good athletes on our team. I really do not buy into the argument that most teams out talent us by a wide margin. Sure some teams will have periodically better talent, but I do not feel the talent gap is as wide as percieved. Vad would start for a lot of teams we play. He has the talent, but he needs to be coached up mentally, an that is not system dependent. [/QUOTE]
