Gus has not had a QB to run "his" offense since #14 headed off into the sunset. Anyone who thinks he has is just a dumbass

I think a huge part of our problem is that at least until recently, Gus wasn't convinced that what the rest of the world calls the "Gus Malzahn offense" was actually "his offense."

I think it's probably a pride thing, and I hope he's past it.

I said that 100%. Which is why I have said on numerous times that as long as Gus is our coach, we wont be elite unless we have a running Qb. Its what he does, no matter how much he thinks he can run a heavy passing offense

He cant

to add to I also don't think we need to be targeting the prototypical OT's. Greg Robinson and Avery Young were fairly average in pass pro but they both excelled as run blockers. I realize both were highly regarded as recruits but GRob was projected by most as a G. Teams were afraid to blitz because Marshall was such a threat running the ball that most considered it a success to just keep him in the pocket. We need maulers all across the OL imo and let the qb's elusiveness be the deterrent to keep opponents from blitzing.
