I could not agree with this assessment more.Baseman said: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.
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. -
That's weird. I'm hearing he's sneaky athletic.godawgst said:

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:

This guy was well below average athletically but was still an effective scrambler. Huard could run circles around him.

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.
