Totally fair.  I think that is without question his weakest point.

The place I have my issue is that I think the evidence to date is that he is either average (my opinion) or you could probably convince me pretty easily of below average.  What i don’t think is that he is a dumpster fire if there is a single opposite colored jersey in the backfield.  I don’t think that’s true and I think there is a decent amount of evidence to the contrary (he used his legs vs UNC, FSU, WMU and even Duke and GT last two games in 2020)

The other part I don’t think people are taking into account is that he was fully healthy for UNC/FSU in 2018, fully healthy for WMU in 2019 and fully healthy GT and Duke last year.  Almost all the games we were frustrated with him, he had a bad wheel or a cracked rib.

I do think he is going to turn this part of his game up this year though because I do think he initially came in thinking he could do 95% of his damage with his arm and he is realizing that even if he is not Dungey/McNabb/Shredder, he still needs to probably move the ratio to at least 80/20 to keep defenses honest and help out his protection.  And between his health and this conscious decision, this is my prediction for his performance this year.

If not, at least we have options this year, which is why my overall optimism for Cuse and Dino is higher than it has been since 2018
