Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 46774, member: 204"] I know that you are the final arbiter on intelligence. I am now a member of your club of stupid people. You have been identifying stupidity in others for as long as I can recall. As I have said time again in response to your posts, trying to assess the intelligence of others from long distance is always a bad idea. I would never comment on your intelligence because other than that one moment when I met you at the Sheraton following the Orange's win against ND in 2003, I don't know you at all. (I do recall how down you seemed that night after the game, but that's about it). I don't know for sure, of course, but I suspect you have never met Doug Marrone. For you to attribute to him average intelligence below average intelligence is I think folly. The notion that Coach Marrone only knows one offensive system is also folly, considering that he has coached under various systems at Ga Tech, Tenn, GA, and even Cortland State - not to mention his NFL experience. And Rahme is a profession who speaks with coaches on and off the record for a living. He is reporting what he learns and that's good enough for me. The idea that Nassib is a decent running QB I think is inaccurate. In 2009 Ryan was asked to run a limited package, the primary purpose of which was to take advantage of his downfield arm strength. The use of the option was not to take advantage of his speed or agility, but to present to defenses the need to play assignment football on certain downs - to alter its basic scheme. It was also an attempt to get him on the field in a way that would provide experience while relying on him to win games at that point. When he spent substantial time in I think the last home game he revealed why he could not handle the job on a full-duty basis. I love the guy, but he does not have the feet to run anything other than what he is running and I think that's the point that Marrone and Rahme have made. This is all fun of course. I enjoy the banter. Breaks up the day. So, keep posting - and so will I. [/QUOTE]
