Re: Expect Akers as a weapon as an RPO QB and a Wildcat formation guy

Not a doubt in my mind.

A 4 year high school QB that was as good a passer as he was is going to be used at times by McVay as an RPO QB for a change-up, and in Wildcat formations that are just murder to defend near the goal line. Similar to the way Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson are used.

He is going to be a swiss army knife weapon along the lines of Hill on the Saints. McVay didn't pick him only for handing the ball off to him. I'm not sure I've ever seen a more inept offense and coaching staff at Florida State as they had during Cam's time there. They had Secretariat for a RB, and they used him as a plow horse. Cam was a better QB than any of the starting QBs they used all year.

While I agree with most of this, especially the scheme fit and how they used him, just to play devil's advocate remember that one of the stiffs playing QB last year for FSU was the same guy handing off to Jonathan Taylor for two years.
