I think White could be much more than he showed with a game plan built for him. I see him doing really well with a little bit of protection. He is not NM he isn't going to break for 50yds, but he can be a threat to pick up short yards to move the chains. At least until he gets hurt. I know this has been beat to death, but I would rather see it put in his hands while Barrett learns and JF3 is used as a wildcat. The whole team is going to have to function on both sides of the ball this year to have success.
Pretty much agree with all of this. The dilemma, to me, is that White is a better QUARTERBACK than JF3 seems to be however a DTQB seems to be the better TYPE of QB to run the offense. So, do you take the better QB but have to alter your most effective offense? Or do you take the lesser of the QBs and run the offense you prefer?
I think SW has a ton of Aaron Murray in him and really seems to have a similar skillset IMO. I think if Gus will just tailor things a little to his skills that we can be much better on O.

A bigger deal than being a DT QB is that Sean White isn't an elite downfield passer (defined as 30+ yards). Malzahn's entire offense is based on vertically stretching the field opening up for big plays

To do this, he would be fundamentally changing his offensive philosophy. It isn't just tinkering but schematic changes

Although, John Franklin III is clearly the fastest runner Gus Malzahn has had at quarterback, his arm strength is nowhere near that of Cam Newton and Nick Marshall.
