Sam Huard

Sam and Kennedy's 2 4-star WRs overmatched a WEAK NPSL league.
His plus --not elite -- arm strength plays up because of Sam's elite accuracy and decision making.
I'm skeptical how this will translate in Donovan's under center offense. I love Sam but I'm a seller at the current valuation.
Donovan hasn't figured out the modern day successful offenses all have this philosophy. "We’re an RPO team that runs the football. If you’re gonna let us run the ball, then we will continue to run the ball. The moment you say we’re gonna take away the run, our system is built to throw RPOs" - Sark. Urban Meyer, now Ryan Day. Dabo Swinney. Their teams score points. Elite athletes want to play in those systems.

Good run down on his con’s
I’m in though He’s gonna be awesome

I agree with everything you've said here. I don't think Donovan's offense is a perfect fit for Huard (or any QB for that matter).Baseman said:A 6'1 Air Raid QB. Never taken a HS snap under center. Below average speed. Avg pocket agility.

OTOH, I think Huard is the perfect fit for Donovan's offense. He wants to run first, run second, run third and then hit you with a playaction bomb over the top. There was plenty to complain about last season but the willingness to throw it deep was there. Morris is just absolutely abysmal at that particular throw.
Huard, conversely, has scary deep ball accuracy, combined with plenty of arm strength.
Last year's team scores at least another touchdown per game with Huard.
That's not enough to make an elite offense - the offensive philosophy is terrible and needs to be changed. But it's enough to win the vast majority of games with this schedule and this defense.
Huard won't win us an NC with the offense as presently constructed. But I don't think there's a QB anywhere who could. -

One more possession a game that results in a TD does not seem like an outlandish ask to me if the qb is top-shelf.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

The offense is great. Getting rid of Nick Holt and improving the defense will make us much better
This is the iron law of the boy with his finger in the dike bad teams always have a bad unit
Huard could be great. Then the defense will start giving up 40 points a game

Cute. Did you purposely omit Skinny's options at WR or did you forget what he had to work with?FremontTroll said:Keep in mind Baseman loved Skinny.

I love Skinny and Sam. Out of the shotgun with good receivers they post big numbers. UW provides neither.
I'd prefer a dual threat. Billy Joe, Brunnell, and Tui were sort of good.

In today's CFB, your qb better have even more than just the ability to side step away from pressure. He must be able to be a (+) runner at the qb spot and make plays that way. Just being able to sit in the pocket and be extremely accurate is not enough unless your Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.
Lake (and by proxy) Donovan aren't whoosing us with the run the damn ball talk. There is going to be many 2-4 med/long situations per game where if no one is open our QB is going to have to scramble for the 1st down. I don't see Sam having that ability to get that and move the sticks and those are the empty possessions that will keep us from being anymore than the low/mid 20's scoring which in today's cfb is not enough. -

In today's CFB, your qb better have even more than just the ability to side step away from pressure. He must be able to be a (+) runner at the qb spot and make plays that way. Just being able to sit in the pocket and be extremely accurate is not enough unless your Tom Brady or Peyton Manning.
Lake (and by proxy) Donovan aren't whoosing us with the run the damn ball talk. There is going to be many 2-4 med/long situations per game where if no one is open our QB is going to have to scramble for the 1st down. I don't see Sam having that ability to get that and move the sticks and those are the empty possessions that will keep us from being anymore than the low/mid 20's scoring which in today's cfb is not enough.
Sam is a good athlete. He’s not a statue at all. A left handed Joe Burrow is his ceiling. -
Donovan's offense can work and will if the QB and receivers don't leave plays on the field. We've seen that guys can get open. We know a couple of them have the talent to make something happen if they catch the ball.
No way he can be called an average athlete. Average, 6'1" white kids don't dunk as sph or Juniors in high school. His speed and athletic ability are probably average across the range of QBs at this level, but that's more than good enough for a pass first QB.RoadDawg55 said:

Sam and Kennedy's 2 4-star WRs overmatched a WEAK NPSL league.
His plus --not elite -- arm strength plays up because of Sam's elite accuracy and decision making.
I'm skeptical how this will translate in Donovan's under center offense. I love Sam but I'm a seller at the current valuation.
Donovan hasn't figured out the modern day successful offenses all have this philosophy. "We’re an RPO team that runs the football. If you’re gonna let us run the ball, then we will continue to run the ball. The moment you say we’re gonna take away the run, our system is built to throw RPOs" - Sark. Urban Meyer, now Ryan Day. Dabo Swinney. Their teams score points. Elite athletes want to play in those systems.

This guy was well below average athletically but was still an effective scrambler. Huard could run circles around him.https://youtu.be/0ZvSLBIprHs

There's an average HS athlete and there's an average athlete for a college QB. Big difference. His athleticism will play up because of his elite accuracy and field awareness. You won't see him at the top of the conference for his running ability or agility in space.chuck said:Donovan's offense can work and will if the QB and receivers don't leave plays on the field.

I disagree on price. That's what we all thought, but he was pretty slow from the beginning. Clever as shit with the ball though.
I expect Huard to get 7-8 yards when it's right there for the taking. We've had supposedly athletic QBs who couldn't do that (Pickett supposedly ran faster than Tui, but couldn't get 10 yards if half the defense was laying down, for example). Stanback had legit sprinter speed and busted a few, but also had a gift for turning potentially big runs for a guy with his speed into modest gains.
If Huard can outrun a lineman and has the presence to know when and where to run, I have zero concerns about his speed.
