"He lacks mobility, and that's frustrating..he isn't super big, so you'd expect more from his running ability. He isn't explosive. Defenses don't have to worry about him much because he does't pose a real threat to run"

I do think with our OL that having a QB that was a little stronger and ran a little better would help, but what are you gonna do? Price is by far our best option. Sark should have recruited better lineman.
Average it out, and you have 9 wins!!!
Anyone that says 8-4 is progress needs to die in a fire.
I think he has scrambled out of some tough predicaments and made something happen given the fact that the defense is on him in no time.
Miles looked pretty good running too against Idaho State. I have a feeling if Sark is still coaching him by his senior year we'll be complaining how he never runs either.
As always it starts at the top. Oh and fuck you Kim! How is Nick Montana beating out Keith Price working out for you? You skinny jeans wearing faggot($75K).
KP17 (hehe) has some flaws. He doesn't see open guys over the middle. I'd like to argue with doogman folks about that but I've been seeing it with my own two, mostly functional eyes. Duck fans are convinced it was a superhuman effort on the part of their secondary, but I saw open guys in the 10-25 yard range all day long.
He also takes some horrific routes (for lack of a better word) when he scrambles. It's not every time, but some of his scrambles are just train wrecks. He gives way too much negative yardage up and runs right into the guy who flushed him too often.
None of these things were true of KP17 in 2010, in his first start, or through most of 2011 when he was dragging a bad knee around. He used to thrive on throws over the middle and had the balls and presence to step up rather than retreating every time he saw pressure off the edge.
Who do I blame? It's on Sarkisian and you'd have to be a complete dicktard to argue otherwise. Sarkisian is responsible for trying to air it out with 5 step drops and no pass blocking throughout 2012. He's responsible for the lack of pass blocking. He's responsible for freaking out when KP17 had a bad game against Oregon in 2011 where he threw some picks over the middle, thus making him gunshy about even looking there anymore. He's responsible for having him pause and make that retarded shoulder fake (ooh, I think they kinda bought it this time!) in the midst of every deep drop.
They myth of Sark's genius QB coaching has gone the way of the myths of his genius recruiting and play calling. It's gone as far as I'm concerned.
KP17 is still a fucking warrior in spite of all of this. He has a good arm and throws pinpoint accurate balls when he's not rattled. He's still the 4th-5th best QB in the league, at worst, which is pretty incredible considering what he's been through.
