With several good running backs and no good choice at QB...

What do you think about running the option?

First, email that idea to Jones. He will probably jump right on it. But be prepared to suggest which of our fine waterbug QBs will run it.

You have a traditional drop-back quarterback whose game is based on his arm, not his mobility, and you want to break out the option? For a bowl game?

Got to hope that whatever was hurting McDermott (arm, foot -- whatever) feels better and that he looks more like the QB we saw in Fort Worth.

Just make Beasley the QB haha
At least he can run and throw a pass every once in a while

Jay Scott or Jeremy Johnson could run the wildcat all day.

What? In the bowl game? Sure. Let's implement a totally new offense that relies on a mobile QB with our brick footed interception machine.

Not nice to call our players names. The bigger deal is not using the maximum practice days. Using 10-11 practices instead of 15, would dictate we'll see the "same exciting offense zzzzzzzz that we've zzzzzz seen all zzzzz year zzzz long zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I was thinking more for next year rather than the bowl so we'd just put our best throwing wr as qb

i didn't call any of our players names in that specific post. i said that our QB has bricks for feet b/c he's incredibly not mobile, and he's an interception machine, because he throws a lot of interceptions (especially in the red zone). dispute those facts.

calling him McDermott would have constituted calling him a name. i didn't do that (here). i stated facts.

What do you mean? I was under the impression there will be 12 practices in Dallas and 3 in Birmingham. Did I miss something?

Sounds like PonyPride knows what he is talking about.

I'm not for running the triple option, but I have to admit that I also don't like being stuck in the run and shoot because we don't have the QB to run it next year. If you don't have the players to run that offense, you can't just say we will be run it until we get them anyway.
