A) You play a 5'9" backup quarterback who is better in another sport you get this.
B) The TO quarterbacks are RPO quarterbacks now. Maybe time to move on.
C) Better question: will XA beat Army in either sport?
A) Disagree, conjecture. You can be good in multiple sports. It is typically the coaches that screw that part up.
B) Route running and QB passing does not seem like something they practice much...and should be especially in the 'less' contact era.
C) No need to put that weight on him. Staff needs to figure out how best to utilize the talent they have.
Also, the team looks a bit thinner this year.....maybe all the darned ROM since summer has not fed the boys well enough.
1. Of course it is conjecture. This whole blog is conjecture. However, at some point correct conjecture probabilistically becomes more likely to reflect reality. My data points of non 5'9" backup quarterbacks who are not better at other sports being successful in DI football is certainly greater than yours.
2. Already addressed by other poster. Still stand by my thought (conjecture) TO being a thing of the past so our pool to draw from is drying up and RPO being the future.
3. I was not necessarily putting the whole weight on him but for the sake of discussion I will. If you cannot handle that weight, you are at the wrong school.
My bottom line is USNA rarely gets the best athletes in ANY sport. They get good athletes and may be the best school athletically across the board of any school. But getting one of the best athletes in a sport is a different manner that I hope Navy handles this one correctly. Right now I conject they are not helping football or lacrosse.
