Having your QB, that's already had multiple concussions, as your primary runner is not a plan for long-term (or possibly even short-term) success.
He's going to get hit, hit hard and possibly hit dirty. Defenses know he's one hit away from another concussion and if you don't think they'll try to put him out of a game, your nuts.
RBs will not want to come to KSU. Why should they.
TE's will not want to come to KSU unless they enjoy being the sixth OL.
WO's will not want to come to KSU unless they think the best way to the NFL is through receiving punts and KO's.
Good to great QB's will not want to come to KSU and get abused the way we abuse our QBs.
I'm sorry, I like Delton and think he's a hell of a competitor but he's one significant hit away from having his playing career ended. True leadership by our AD and Athletic Department would question what we're doing to our QBs and as the HC, LHC Bill Snyder needs to answer those questions.
A win last night was way better than a loss (duh!) but you seriously have to ask yourselves whether or not the way we play is really a good direction for the program. I don't think it is.
Every player is one hit away from having their career ended.
That said, I kind of get your point -- I think our offense exposes the QB to injury too often which has derailed our season several times in the last 5 years. Even so, since Bishop, the QB run game has always been a significant part of K-State's offense. If we have the tools to feature the QB run game prominently (i.e. Delton), then we'd be foolish not to use it. Do I think Delton (or any QB) should be running 30+ times a game? Probably not. And I'd like us to cool it with running pipsqueak QBs between the tackles.
But spare me the crying about QBs not wanting to play in an offense that prominently features the QB run. Plenty of programs prominently feature the QB run game in their spread. Look at Marcus Mariota.
Does our offense handicap us from recruiting the next 5 Star, drop back passer? Probably so, but as long as there are great running QBs (like Delton) coming out of high school, then I think K-State is an attractive option for them.
