Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 4423678, member: 5429"] NOBODY is "slamming" him. It's abundantly clear that he's not been the same guy, since the 2nd half of the Clemson game. He is a dual-threat QB, although anyone who is being fair would say he's an excellent running QB, who has gotten decently proficient at throwing it this year. But - IF he's no longer a dual-threat, then that dramatically reduces his upside and effectiveness. His running is effectively removed from the equation, which makes his passing less effective. And frankly - he was passing it all with upper body vs. ND, which also made his passing that much worse. And he doesn't have that elite escapeability and elusiveness, which allowed him to keep plays alive. ALL of which is why CDRW should be getting the start this Sat. Pretty much zero chance Shrader is 'recovered' enough in a week to resume playing the way he did earlier this season. [/QUOTE]
