I am having a bit of a revelation watching this replay drunk. I think AM would’ve been an amazing option QB under TO! Like top 5 in NU history

I think they should have an option wrinkle in the game plan next week. Remember when they ran

Umm they did today. He pitched the ball high at the helmet of Stepp. Thankfully he caught it and made a positive gain. IF Adrian had kept it and hadn't hesitated there was a nice crease for Adrian. He saw inside support pursuit coming and he chickened out almost too late.
I have said that for years. Not the top 5 part, but that the option fits him best. Probably Smothers too. Then throw PA off it.
He seems to have a good feel for it, especially considering how little we run it. Its reading defenses as a drop back passer that’s the issue.
No. He's waaaay too dangerous and loose with the ball. Plus he doesn't know how to take/deliver a hit consistently.
And I pound the table for option every day. But 2AM is not the guy for it.

He has a good feel for running the football, but he can’t read the option which would kill any offense predicated on it. The same weakness he has reading secondaries is there on option. He’s an athlete playing QB.
I mean, if he was an option QB he would be practicing the option and getting better at it. I mean, that is the point of practicing.
He’s a passing QB now and for the last 4 years. How is his skill at reading defenses and checking his progressions?
The fact that Scott Frost never bothered to implement the option as his base rushing attack shows how dumb he is. AM is perfect for it.
This^^^ He would be TF level but don't think he could handle it physically*
*with the juice I have full faith in the kid
That high completion % is a reflection on how much the offense is limited with a QB that can't throw the ball down the field.
Single read, chuck the screen or swing pass, if it's not there tuck it and run.
That high % is part of the reason we have never beat a team worth a **** with AM under center. Only having to defend within 10-15 yards of the LOS makes it easy on the defense.
I get it, but it was always my impression that the blood clots were a genetic thing not necessarily caused by football. Is that wrong?
And Crouch may have been the toughest SOB of the bunch. Dude delivered hits, and when he took them, he made sure to bounce right back up regardless of how much it must have hurt. Nails.
Crouch was indeed the toughest of the bunch. Imagine him behind that '95 pipeline with Phillips and Green in the backfield.
But that was not the argument.
it went from if he would be good at running the option (yes, he would) to he could not do it because he is soft (he isn't, plus they would practice running the option if they were an option team) to he can't learn to make reads now (he can) to "it doesn't matter that he set the NU completion record because he doesn't win games"
I mean, it goes on and on.
Rip the kid, that is fine, but rip him for turnovers and losses, not completion %
Yeah this is real nitpicky. Dude averages 12 yards per completion over his career. Considering he has had two good WR's over 4 years, that is really good.
No. The argument by those that don’t know the game is that he’d be great in an option offense. He wouldn’t because he can’t read a defense. He can’t read the option and he can’t read a secondary. He is not a good QB in any scheme.
