[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 23158, member: 253"] We have all seen it this year. CPJ was stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, he had recruited a guy at QB that EVERYBODY was excited about--a guy with real talent and athleticism, a guy that he simply could not put at the end of the bench. On the other hand, it became painfully obvious that this guy, though talented, was not a good fit for CPJ's offense. That, my friends, is a serious predicament. He had to give Vad a chance to take the reins. Two things are now clear (or at least, more clear) to me: 1. CPJ tried tweaking his offense to suit Vad more. Some shotgun, some pistol, less option reads, but he [B]could not[/B] and [B]would not[/B] change his offense. And I don't blame him. His offense works. What most people seem to not understand is that "changing the offense" is not such a simple fix. You have 11 guys who have been recruited for and trained for one style of play. You can't just throw it out the window and start over because one guy doesn't fit. In the end, it was up to Vad to adapt. Learn the reads, play fast and smart, run the option (at least occasionally). Vad either did not or could not adapt. This is no knock on Vad--we all love him and know he worked hard. But in the end, he simply did not fit. 2. Now I am thinking that this is why we saw a different, more tentative CPJ this year. It's 2nd and 8 and you have been watching their defense and you know the triple option right with twins is going to work...but you can't call it. What do you do....well, you call the rocket toss again, and hope for the best. :) All year long, he looked "off his game" in play calling, and perhaps Vad was the reason why. (well that, and horrible blocking) So...Vad decides to transfer, and voila--problem solved. Lets stick JT or Byerly or Jordan in there and get back to what we do best. Let's run hard and fast and kick some tail. I am not saying all our problems are solved and we are going to win the Championship next year. I am simply saying that this is a positive thing for all parties involved and a necessary change for the better. We have talent at the QB position. Let's move on. [/QUOTE]
