The moral is, recruit smart/teachable players. After a certain level of athleticism/size, smarts are more important.

Sure. I agree. But my point is, he can grow and training will speed growth.

Dr MoBYU

Do you really think he doesn't do that?

Yeah, someone should alert the college football coaching profession about this

You read a lot into things. Anyway, which clinics does he go to? I’m am

I don't fault Arod for his playcalling.

Again he's a great coach and that's his reason for his success.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet that he’ll get one eventually. Probably sooner

That's what has made it so frustrating to see our QB room look the way it does
