[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 624875, member: 265"] I'm late to this thread (Thank God). All our QBs were stars in shotgun spreads in high school, Some interesting stats from their senior years: Lucas Johnson - 1166 rushing, 2571 passing, 40 TDs James Graham - 956 rushing, 1725 passing, 39 TDs (in, btw, [I]8 games[/I]) Tobias Oliver - 1460 rushing, 1604 passing, 31 TDs (his battles with Jake Fromm are a local legend; Tobias went 1 - 2) So … it isn't a matter of not knowing what to do when they drop back. It's a matter of getting used to a new O system. All of them have the talent to do well at the position; Patenaude is right, they are all real dual-threat QBs. What the coaches haven't done is figure out how to use them most effectively. It's a mutual learning curve. Coach and co. are used to taller drop back types who can run if they have to, not guys who can do either one and might prefer to run. I don't doubt that we'll continue to see some growing pains here and, if they continue, then Yates will get his chance. I think it'll be another three games or so before we'll actually be in a position to get a read on how the O is doing. My guess = the coaches are in the same boat. [/QUOTE]
