I know I am probably stating the obvious here. But it's time to look at other options at qb. For a Gus lead offense to be successful the qb has to run the ball. Jeremy Johnson is not that guy and on top of that he is not the pocket passer we were lead to believe either. He struggles terribly at reading defenses and making the right throw. Jason Smith is fast and athletic, played qb in juco and would bring back that running element that nick and cam brought. Doubt it happens but just an observation

It's amazing how much this ignorant statement gets thrown out. Gus doesn't need a running quarterback. He needs a quarterback that is at least good at something. Not many offenses would work with a QB who won't run and throws to the other team.

This is absolutely wrong. See Chris Todd 2009.

This is stupid.

The offense stinks because JJ right now is not good at ANYTHING.
If he was hitting his passes, defenses will back off and open up the run.
If he was running well, the rest off the running game would open up because he'd be a threat on the zone read.

But since he's not doing anything well...It's Gus' offense, right?
