I'm generally where you are. We need a QB that is capable of running the complete playbook. I've said it before. The moment where I became very concerned about ED was not a single bad pass. Not even a series of bad passes. Not a pass at all. It was when, 4th qtr, tie game, we ran, ran, ran, punted when we had the ball deep in Pitt territory. That is something you do with a freshman QB. When you have a theoretically trusted senior QB, one that has gotten national hype nonetheless, you trust him to throw the ball. You believe he will lead you on a long drive that eats time and results in a score. You trust him to throw at least once there, knowing a punt could ultimately give them field position to take a lead. That they didn't is extremely concerning to me. He either isnt trusted to throw the ball down there, or is physically incapable of doing so. More than any bad throw he has ever made, that moment has me concerned because the wouldnt let him make it. Thats a bad look for a QB with so much experience under his belt. Maybe not if we have a shutdown D we trust. But this defense is not that.

My top choice remains Eric Dungey being Eric Dungey. Running when he should run, throwing when he should throw. But I am no longer confident he can do that. And if he can't, we simply cannot win with a one and a half dimensional offense, not unless the defense has an unfathomable improvement over the course of the bye week.
