I dont know what they think.. But Run heavy with wildcat is different than run heavy with play action QB.. And Valari got hurt running it last yr what would happen a full yr of that offense?
I mean he was a QB at Michigan and when he first got here. Its not like were just taking some random TE who made a single throw for a TD. He is a former QB thag knows how to play the position.
Amen regarding your first point.All of which makes 2 points clear:
I’m glad you’re not on staff making this decision.
We absolutely need to upgrade QB talent & depth via the portal.
No shade at Dan, who is a gifted, versatile athlete, but -
his ceiling is a healthy Shrader, and he’s got a lot less college experience and reps.
Dan is a mismatch nightmare for opponents at TE/wildcat/Swiss Army knife for us - a huge positive.
He’d be, at best, average as a QB.
Why not get a proper, capable, experienced QB,
so that way we can be above average in talent at 2 key positions, rather than average (or worse)?
Plus - Dan’s path to an NFL future is at TE.
Not QB.
Coach - take that portal to Browntown.
Land us a stud QB.
Besides reading between the lines I had a student teacher from LI with me this fall. He played against him in HS. He said everyone's game plan was to squat in their rush lanes and force him to throw the ball. Its the same game plan I had against Ashton Broyld. Im not discouraging you from having a concept in your head though
Dan practically said this in his own words.
What indicates it’s not his best fit is his career to date. His future is being a TE. Kid might make some money at it. He has no next level potential at QB.
Dan is a solid TE and now we know the new staff can have a few packages where he can take a snap as QB. His value is skyrocketing.
Yes. He's my type of big athlete. He can do a lot of different things. Most importantly, he is a fighter. Gonna compete at a high level. That becomes contagious.
Sit back. Relax. And let your fellow posters do the driving.
FIFY
Buchner is going back to ND to play lax only
yup. he wants to stay there. not to mention he's lost some flexibility bulking up and can't even make some of the throws he used to (when it was never his strength to begin with). He's most valuable to us in a hybrid TE row and is always a threat to do something else. I have to imagine an OC will love leveraging him in a lot of different ways.
Finn is visiting Wisconsin this weekend.
I'd still take Sluka from Holy Cross. Haven't heard much about him here since Chesney didn't get the job.
Grrrr
Yeah if he doesn’t follow Chesney to JMU, and guessing he won’t since he can likely get a P5 gig, would love to bring him in
Yeah, Vick is top 3 all time college qb in my book.
No JMU?
Villari embodies everything I hope for in a football player.
It would be quite telling if JMU didn’t go for him…
Let's just enjoy the incredible improvement so far, but let's not go overboard. He literally can not recruit every top player at every position so let's chalk that over the top statement as hyperbole. And the fact he mentioned running the ball, he also mentioned he's running any offense they can't stop. Meaning in the modern college game you have to have a very multiple set offense able to pass to be able to run the ball. And vice versa.
