While that's generally true, I don't see how ED could have avoided the big hits he has taken last night or against CMU.

I, like most of you, was thrilled with his first few games. I thought, "When this kid gets to be a Jr or Sr, he will be great."

I now no longer believe that is going to happen. He cannot play like he does and last. He's a straight-up runner without great speed. That might work in the Ivy League, but not against the better ACC teams.

Even the best SU QB who ran  a lot, Bill Hurley, was out for a significant amount of time during his career on the Hill. He broke his leg against FSU, I believe.

We can argue about whether he should have been in the game last night at all at the end. But sooner or later he has to play and he's going to get hurt playing the way he plays.

Assuming his career isn't over now, the question is can he adopt his style. Will another 20 lbs of muscle protect him? If he no longer takes off running on pass plays or runs on designed QB running plays, is he a good enough drop-back in-the pocket passer?
