If Queso Cheese has actually really checked at the line this (and not just faking it) . . . has there been anything that he's checked into that was really that fantastic??
In order for a QB to get a feel for the game, and to "understand what they're seeing" they have to play.
Now I know the most popular guy on a lot of football teams is the back up QB. But with that said, if we're going to run the kind of offense we're running and that we all know that OB wants to run. Why not put the guy in there that can potentially make things happen in the QB running game. Not just just an occasional nice little run, but a guy who can break off some long runs, and also run away from pressure and make a defense pay??
In the passing game, if all we're going to do is work short little isolation routes underneath . . . why not Sammy???
To me, part of the problem with the O-Line and with Thomas getting going is the fact that there's literally no threat to the defense from the QB position. In the vertical passing game one factor in getting guys open is the threat of a running QB forcing the defense to spy and be overly concerned with run support and contain.
