re: Class of 2018 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: So Long Old Friend Edition

The fans get so emotional about the QB situation. But we need to figure out what we're going to do on offense. Either we need to go all-in with a Spread system, change some blocking schemes, coaches and go with Jalen. Or make a QB change with our current "system" (whatever it is). Whatever the case, Hurts may or may not could be a really good QB in a Spread system like the Barn runs, but he's not a really good QB if we're going to try and drop back and throw the ball around. We are PITIFUL in the passing game right now. Unless it's a quick designed pass to a back out of the backfield, it's always the same thing. Drop back, his #1 option is covered up, so he takes off running and either throws it away (30% of the time), scrambles (which he's really good at, but can't do it all in that department... maybe 50% of the time), or takes a sack (10% of the time). That leaves about 10 percent for completed passes.

We are PITIFUL in the passing game. With elite talent all over the field at RB and WR.

SOMETHING needs to change, for sure. It's literally the same thing against any good defense (not even great defense) we go up against. Put a top 30-40 defense or so out there, and we struggle.
