Sam Huard

A 6'1 Air Raid QB. Never taken a HS snap under center. Below average speed. Avg pocket agility.

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.

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).

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.

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

Husky Fever

This is the race I know.
