which one I see at this point. I’m guessing every one of them is a better passer than Leonard. When are we ever going to be able to throw downfield? Haven’t been able to since Kizer and before that you’ve got to go back to the Charlie Weis days. Thought Leonard would have an arm and he underthrew his 30 yard pattern by at least 10 yards. Angeli can throw a deep ball…we’ve seen it. The other two probably can as well.
Where is the power running game? Why can’t our OL move MAC DL around and why are we running stretch plays to the perimeter?
Leonard’s legs will work if we either have 1. a high quality power running game or 2. an effective passing game that can threaten downfield. Right now we can’t run for power and can’t throw downfield. If that’s the case, we ought to go with the QB that can throw downfield and get the ball to the receivers on time and on the money.
This whole OL should be coming back next year as well as the RBs, TE’s and some WRs. I’d be fine going with Carr for that reason, to develop him and build for the future. Fine with Angeli and fine with Minchey too.
What I’m not fine with is going through another season like the last where opposing teams put 8 in the box and we can’t do anything…where we spend the entire season debating whether it’s the QB or WR fault. It seems as if that is where we are headed.
