and not that vaunted Bear Raid.
It boggles my mind, how everyone just thinks he should be able to walk onto a football field and win the starting QB job, when he has NEVER done the following:
Call a play in a huddle
Take a snap from under center
completely change a play at the LoS
dropback and throw (alot of that is getting the timing down)
Things he has done:
Somewhat read a defense. he did have a few options every play at Cal.
Made progressions.
But all that said, Air Raid QBs have failed at the NFL level, so he does have work to do. Of course, I said he wouldn't start before week 12. So maybe I have blinders on.
And as much as I hate to say this, if went to USC, he is starting right now.
