Let the offseason natty race begin.

Is "One to watch ($)" code for give him a nice cup of coffee?
-
Voted down because last name isn't Finkel
-
I'm guessing the 'Skinny" train has left

Looks like a Neuheisel.

I don't think so. You can't put all your eggs into one basket.bananasnblondes said:I'm guessing the 'Skinny" train has left

I will get beaten up for this but I would take him over Eason. Strong arm and can flat out run. It's dumb in college football these days to not have a qb that can run Days of Bledsoe/Mannion type qb are waning. In NFL that's a different story. Look at Mariota, a defense can do everything right then Mariota escapes and picks up a quick 8 yards

I agree with this in general, but I'm not sure Petersen knows what to do with a mobile QB. He has said he prefers his QB's to hang in the pocket.steelheader2 said:I will get beaten up for this but I would take him over Eason. Strong arm and can flat out run.

He can hang in the pocket but when reads are covered he has the ability to take off

A qb can have the ability to be both a pocket passer and a runner (see Mariota). Unfortunately last year we had a qb who had no pocket awareness and ran like a gangly Frankenstein's monster when he did decide to take off.

The frustrating thing is Miles has good straight away speed but no pocket awareness as you said.
-
And his first step takes forever, but when he gets running he's faststeelheader2 said:The frustrating thing is Miles has good straight away speed but no pocket awareness as you said.

I hear that he is pretty quick to run away from a bonfire fight, directly behind his WR friend.brchco12 said:

Lots of confusion here between taking off and running at the first opportunity and having the ability to run and using that to your advantage.
You want a QB that is able to extend plays with their legs and will hurt you first with his arm and second with his legs.
All a QB that tucks and runs as soon as possible will succeed in is taking massive shots that he doesn't need to. -
In college guys that run early and can't read a defense can succeed and even lead their team to a championship. Miles sucks at running and sucks in the pocket. That is the problem.Tequilla said:Lots of confusion here between taking off and running at the first opportunity and having the ability to run and using that to your advantage.

A lot of college offenses are two read and go's. The QB goes through two progressions, and either hits the check down or takes off. Petersen's offense isn't like that. He could adapt, but his offense isn't geared for mobile QB's compared to many others.

Not a QB guru, but it seems that beyond a QBs ability to run, it helps if they keep their eyes open when they throw the ball.
No pocket awareness + noodle arm + closed eyes = our 2014 offense. -
I would guess Miles runs a 4.8 40, so if that's fast then so be it.
As to Fink — he looks good. Not as good as Eason, but Eason is a 5-star guy. Fink looks like a low 4-star, high 3-star kid to me. -
He was listed with a 4.43 coming out of high school.Dennis_DeYoung said:I would guess Miles runs a 4.8 40, so if that's fast then so be it.

Of course, HS 40 times are as reliable as Ektard recruiting blogs, but I'd guess his 40 is in the 4.65 range. Which is well above average for a QB.
And about two tenths faster than Coleman (low tweak!) -
@dnc - he's smoked a LOT of weed and eaten a lot of Cheeto's since HS. I doubt he's faster. When you have a 4.43 and you're 6-4, 218, you look like Travis Feeney running.
I honestly would be shocked (SHOCKED I TELL YOU!) if he could get anything faster than a 4.7 without specifically training for it.
