this has 0% to do with the NFL

Is this a move for good or might he move back in the '15 season?

I'm all for what's the best. He'll definitely take snaps in practice at qb too. Not worried. Get him on the field. I'm kinda excited about Waters SR season as well. His performance vs Michigan =  :love:

yeah, if we are giving him the reigns he better be second half of the season waters. if he's first half of the season waters we are going to be sitting at home at 5-7.

Yep, and not god awful KU second half of the season Waters either, Sams had to pull the team out of slumps in a lot of those games too, Iowa State, TCU come to mind.  People have taken way too much away from the Michigan game, which he was really good in, but he had some bad games in the second half of the season too.

yeah, we need to hope and pray that his late season improvement sticks through next year. I also hope Bill just goes full yolo deep bomb offense next year too.

Waters will be solid. Having SAMs on the field for the emotional boost and leadership will be amazing. Can you imagine the celebrations after either Lockett or SAMs score TDs?  Adorable.

The key about having him at WR is he won't have to worry about getting beat up between the tackles or trying to pass protect as an RB which would be one of the toughest to do. Snyder would have a super short leash at RB if he couldn't block well. As a WR he will have plenty of touch opps.  I imagine Lockett and SAMs need to combo for 25 touches a game not counting special teams.

Was this just for fanning? I like to think it was.

It's a lost cause having a real sports conversation with you. I'll tap out.

The thing about Daniel is that he could excel at multiple positions on our team (including QB). Jake's only chance to help us is at QB. He lacks the toughness and athleticism to even consider anywhere else on the field.

Our offense could also use a leader in the huddle when Sams isn't under center. I don't see anyone on the O being that guy right now. So Daniel out there at any position probably helps the entire team in that aspect as well.

Whatever position Sams plays, it should be full time and permanent. Grow some balls and own the decision.

It's time to accept that the staff has decided to be solid and not taking the chance to be great(personally disagree with the decision) at the QB position for 2015.

However, I don't really get wanting to move someone who's been developing at a position for 3 years and had success at it(running 5 plays and being very close to winning against best teams in the conf, massive improvement throwing throughout the season) to a position he hasn't played in 3 years.  He doesn't NEED to be on the field at WR, he would be a lot less impactful than at QB.

They'll still toy with him on the field, dorks. This is not a permanent change. This is the best case scenario for this season.
