Agreed.
Vick was a good enough thrower that defenses had to respect that part of his game but he was not good enough to become a traditional pocket passer once his ability to scramble fell off. Seems like McNabb did better transitioning as he matured and learned to keep his eyes down field longer.
I'm a Geno Smith skeptic myself. In fact, I don't respect the University of West Virginia football program to groom recruits into NFL prospects. (I posted this in another thread discussing draft prospects, but
this article, from an Iowa Hawkeyes blog, is very interesting reading for any college football fan. Long story short, WV produces far fewer professionals than would be expected given the quality of their recruiting classes.)
Agreed. The read-option isn't the reason SF beat us. They beat us because Kaep's ability to scramble was a total game-changer on plays that had broken down for them...
