Good find.  Scary.

I like both JL and CDRW a lot. but Justin is a dual threat guy and I think we really need a dual threat guy for our offense to be effective.

Maybe CDRW can be a dual threat guy too.  It didn’t look like it when he got his chance last year but we were so thin at QB then, the staff might have told him not to run unless he absolutely had to.

Can CDRW run?  Is he fast enough and athletic enough to beat guys at this level?  This is one of the biggest things I want to see at the spring game.  Right now, I really don’t know.  His arm strength and bravado are really impressive.

The mental aspects of the job are also always big.  Can he make the right reads?  Can he check down to his second or third option under pressure?  Can he make the right instantaneous decision whether to throw  it away or run for it when a play breaks down?

I am unsure about the mental aspects for Justin too but I have seen enough from him to be convinced he is plenty athletic enough to be a dual threat guy.

I hope the staff gives both guys a chance to play with and against starters and backups.  I think that will give us the best insight into where each QB currently stands.  And I am hoping the QBs are allowed to run the real offense.  It would be sad if they spend the whole spring game handing off and throwing screens.
