Give Nassib a better OL and give him better WRs and he will certainly have better #'s.  Will our offense be considered good at that point or would it just go from bad to average?

I think the 2 years playing behind suspect OLs have him kind of shot at this point.  I don't think he's ever going to feel comfortable in the pocket.

And there have been plays this year where we've run a very good play action, i.e. it was convincing enough that the RB had the ball, that Nassib was allowed to stand well back and know he had time.  And on some of those plays, Chew broke open deep.  And every single time, Nassib overthrew him.  I just don't see where that's going to be fixed.

Finally, the system we run on offense means that we're going to have to have that above average OL and those above average WRs if we're going to have any consistent success with Nassib.  We didn't have them this year, and if they were on the roster they were very young.  Doubtful they'll be developed enough by the start of 2012.  Which is the last time Nassib will be our QB.

So long story longer, I don't know where we're going with him at QB, but I know we have some more athletic types behind him who are a bit more raw in terms of the total knowledge of the position.  I would like to see one of these guys get a real shot this spring, get a large # of snaps, more reps the better.  And be groomed as the future QB as soon as 2012.  I think 2012 is the true transitional year on offense, so let's get these guys out there and by the time the ACC hopefully rolls around in 2013, we have all the athletes Marrone recruited starting the year with experience.

I know I'm not always reasonable, but it's going to be overly painful watching this exact same offense again next year.
