[QUOTE="gtg845w, post: 369036, member: 3084"] Its funny how people said the same thing about Matthew Jordan and not pitching it. This is why most people (including myself) did not want to see MJ as the QB. However after watching these last couple of games, at least MJ got up field right away. TQ goes more E-W thus allowing the LB to get there in time and we end up with a lot of zero and negative gains thus creating longer to go situations. Even if MJ only got 3-4 yards a play, at least it was positive yards and we did not have to throw on 3rd down every time. Vad Lee's issue (in my opinion) was he did not like to get hit which is an issue in our offense. He did not fight for those extra yards. Lucas, I think, is the ideal candidate because he can do both passing and throwing better than average and sometimes that is all you need. Having QBs who are great at running but are below average at throwing/completing passes (TQ/JJ/MJ) only have a certain peak they can reach in this offense. Someone like Lucas, while not as good as the other 3 at running but is more is than adequate at it, would be the most ideal because he gives the most options (pun intended) for success for any situation the game is in. This is assuming he can throw of course (which would have been nice to see him in there this past weekend......) [/QUOTE]
