That is a devastating analysis. As I asked earlier, why would TAt have brought Lamson in as a transfer, just to run an occasional QB sneak.

At that point in history it was not obvious that Lamson couldn't be an effective passer. Remember that last year Lamson and Daniels both got a shot at the starting position. It wasn't a one game only thing. Both QBs at times throw very good on target passes into tight windows. Unfortunately both QBs throw more passes that are barely in the right zip code (or directly into the wrong zip code). Daniels was and is a better passer, but he also has received the benefit of lots more reps after he won the starting job. TT needed a QB. Patu was never the answer. TT took what he could get. It wasn't perfect.
