Going from QB to RB isn't something that happens very often.

Thread title wasn't accurate.

I'm talking about keeping Milroe at QB, but running him a lot during the game like a running back.

Jalen Milroe basically is a running back playing QB. He's not a fragile guy. We don't need to develop him as an NFL QB. Just fricking run him 30+ times per game. Let him get 5 ypc. Who cares? He's probably the most effective runner on our team.

There's no point in playing Milroe if he only runs the ball 10 times a game

He's a running QB, and we need to use him as one.

Milroe is averaging 11 carries a game in the two games he's played. So 22 carries in 2 games. 5 of those are sacks, so 17 carries in 2 games. How many of those were designed runs?

Running QBS need more than 8 rushing attempts a game. If you look at great running QBs they averaged double that. Look at Lamar Jackson, Pat White, Brad Smith, Vince Young, and the like ran the ball way more than what Milroe has done so far.

Honestly, let's just go all in. Trust the defense to help with any mistakes he makes.
