Next to an actual member of Snyder's staff, you've got the highest FBIQ on here. You've broken down the tape. I'm asking you, if you had to choose one of these QBs to have 100% of the snaps, which would it be and why?
Oh man, on the spot.
I said that I'd give the slight nod to Sams, so I have to go with what I said. I like that he can run which leads to longer drives, plus he's been more efficient on leading drives that score. I like Waters big play ability in the passing game, especially with Thompson/Lockett, which led to my frustration with him missing some key open throws against ISU that could have blown the game open. I still think he would be solid, but I'm not sold that Sams would be quite as effective if defenses soley prepared for him simply because our offense is slighlty more limited with him in the game. Of course its more limited with Waters, but I think Waters allows us to attack more of the field than Sams does. So I understand the trust the coaches have in Waters because of that, but game in game out, Sams has played well too and more efficiently producing scores. That's why its a difficult decision for me to make, but I give Sams the slight edge right now.
