Landing Shrader helps us in several ways:
[LIST]
[*]It gives us real competition at the QB spot for the first time since Dungey was here.
[*]He is not only a fantastic athlete-We're getting a guy who already has 4 starts under his belt against SEC competition. Coming here in the Spring gives him a chance to be off and running on day 1 and he already has film to see what he needs to work on.
[*]His ability to run can help mitigate our biggest weakness-Our OL.
[*]Even if he doesn't win the starting job, the staff can have Tommy run more aggressively because we have a ready-to-go QB behind him. Devito has decent speed-I believe we have rarely utilized it for QB draws for fear of injury w/ our backup situation. The QB draws put more pressure on the D, possibly cutting down some of the blitzing and putting the option back in the run-pass option, taking away a little of the focus on our running backs in the run game.
[*]Even if he doesn't win the job, it gives us a dual-threat option as a changeup. He and Devito complement each other well, as Devito is a better pure passer and he can obviously do things that Tommy can't.
[*]This hopefully lets our young QB's develop. Would really like to see Lamson able to play his senior year of HS-He's only played 1 year at QB-He needs the game experience. This should remove any doubt of him trying to come in early.

  Now let's pound the portal to shore up our lines and get ready to roll.
