Well maybe don’t call running plays for non dual threat quarterbacks.I just hope we don't have to rely on a 4th string at QB again
Well maybe don’t call running plays for non dual threat quarterbacks.
I totally agree with this.I understand your point, but don't completely agree.
Drew was mobile, but certainly not a "dual threat" QB. He and Tiller feasted on defenses sleeping on his ability to scramble and run, whether it was called or not.
Many times.
It's football. Gotta be able to play the game, and do what's asked/demanded by the game situation.
I agree but, after Sindelar got hurt by running in the Nevada game and Sipe had injury issues then Plummer got killed by a poor line and then ran him on called runs. I don’t see it as the same situation as when Brees played. Tiller wasn’t calling running plays for Brees. Brohm was calling running plays for guys not accustomed to running the ball.I understand your point, but don't completely agree.

That’s flat out incorrect. An important part of the Tiller/Chaney spread offense was mixing in the QB draw to keep defenses honest and pick up some cheap first downs in passing situations. Brees had good vision and knew how to avoid hard/awkward hits. Second leading rusher on the team his senior year.Tiller wasn’t calling running plays for Brees.

That's absolutely correct. I remember times when Brees ran for multiple first downs in games via a called QB draw. You see this in the NFL quite often as well.That’s flat out incorrect.

My memory is shot lol. I went to every game and it didn’t seem he ran the ball that much. Good call on your part.That’s flat out incorrect.

Well.... Sindelar was hurt rolling out of the pocket . Plummer was hurt as he scrambled to run after the pocket collapsed. Sipe retired due to bad back. Where exactly are the “ called” running plays???Well maybe don’t call running plays for non dual threat quarterbacks.
Dude, you watch the games? Sindelar was hurt - concussion- against Vandy, not Nevada, but came back. The injury that put him out was rolling out of the pocket Against Minnesota . Same with Plummer , he scrambled when the pocket collapsed. Neither of their injuries were on “ designed” running plays.I agree but, after Sindelar got hurt by running in the Nevada game and Sipe had injury issues then Plummer got killed by a poor line and then ran him on called runs.

Yes I’ve been to a few games. Was at the Nevada game and been to about 200 home games. Sorry to have made you upset. Have a good day!Dude, you watch the games?

That’s awesome. I was at Nevada too. If you were there....then, uh, when exactly did you see Sindelar get hurt???? I’m glad you have been to so many games. Should probably actually watch them, because everything you stated didn’t happen. Have a great day.Yes I’ve been to a few games. Was at the Nevada game and been to about 200 home games. Sorry to have made you upset. Have a good day!
Sindelar was injured and ended career in the Minny game on the same play that Rondale got hurt. In fact, the reason Sindelar got hurt is that he was looking to throw to Moore and Moore went down with injury and as Sindelar held ball, he got sacked and hurt. Worst outcome of a single play - ever!Yes I’ve been to a few games. Was at the Nevada game and been to about 200 home games. Sorry to have made you upset. Have a good day!
Purdue will play the old single wing offense and snap the ball directly to a RB, since they still don't have a true Big10 QB. Brohms recruits at QB have not done anything since he has been here.
Plummer is brohm's first QB recruit and he was a RS Frosh last year? You expect Brohm to start a true freshman, or even a redshirt freshmen unless it was absolutely necessary? That's a whole lot of stupid.Purdue will play the old single wing offense and snap the ball directly to a RB, since they still don't have a true Big10 QB.

Especially at the ass end of games when we have the W. Find other ways to run out the clock. My $.02 armchair coaching ... LOL.Well maybe don’t call running plays for non dual threat quarterbacks.
I totally agree with this.
Drew’s career rushing yardage was 900 yards and his senior year total of 522 would have easily led last year’s team in ground yardage.
Doubtful he would have had 500+ last year, what with the OL challenges.
Brees was blessed with an incredibly talented OL, and was only sacked 10 times in 2000, for -59. Last year we were sacked 28 times for -212.
It was said he was not an effective runner which was bogus. Who can forget the end zone dive against Notre Dame in 1999?
Possible position change?Brohm never mentions Paul Pieri at all in his presser - are we going to see a transfer here soon? Sounds like Alaimo is already in front of him
He doesn’t look like he’s built like a safetyThe infamous QB to safety change?
