In the current NFL, I think there's a place for it because it does regulate what the defense can do. You get to dictate matchups and create a threat if the guy has that running skill.
So if you can be a real threat to do that, like Wilson or Kaepernick can with the right combination of size and speed, and also master the protections and master the pocket like Smith is capable of, you create that double-edged combination. If that's what you want from him, I think he can be dangerous.
Of course he can be a read-option guy, because hes black.
He can potentially be a read option guy because he's fast and because he's big enough to take the hits. Just because he didn't run a lot at WVU, doesn't mean he can't do it. He's certainly unproven, but he's not crippled. [Reply]

Exactly. He can be a read option guy because he runs a 4.56. You can be a read option guy if you run a 4.56 if you are black, white, or red. He isn't saying Byron Leftwich could have ran the lead option here. [Reply]

Not only that, the biggest reason he's capable is his ability to read defenses and make quick decisions. Which Gruden's proved he did on every play at WVU. [Reply]

Maybe he's just so far up Kiper's butthole that he can't see the forest for the trees.
It has to do with Tyler Wilson. Just like ChiefsandO'sfan is now the same way....because of Barkley. They were all gung ho about their perspective QBs a while ago but as Wilson and Barkley dropped.....they became raging pro Alex Smith assholes. Now all they do is create posts like:
"Wait until April 25th.....you'll be disappointed." [Reply]

My point was more that he's bringing up Geno in virtually every post he makes, even when literally nobody else has even mentioned the guy for a couple of pages. I mean, geez, if he bothers you that much, why keep bringing him up? [Reply]

Fixed for ya. He looked like a deer in headlights during 5 of those 6 loses. [Reply]

Hopefully, we have a similar high five session this year when we get what we want again.
Oh i remember. Every Mock draft and expert had us taking Okung. [Reply]

It's not closing time at the bar yet. Rather talk about and hit on the hot gals first. [Reply]

I do it for religious reasons. Honoring Joseph Smith by talking about the franchise that has been taken over by his beloved children Andy and Alex. [Reply]
