I agree with several of your points, needle, but when did deep-route-delivery become a priority on this year's "what we need from our QB list"? As thrilled as I am with the O-line we recruited this year, when your LT is likely to be a true freshman and you only have one receiver who has proven that he can create separation, you don't typically load the playbook with bombs (no matter how fun it was to watch Andrew complete them)! "Throwing ability" is (I think understandably) 3rd on Shaw's "pecking order for selecting a quarterback" in Gemmell's article. I'm more with Griffin. Remember... even with the best college QB ever ;D we ran the ball something like 55% of the time last year. There's a lot more to managing an offense than throwing the ball through tires at the fair, no matter how far away they may be placed. I just hope that, as good as The Sheriff looked, Nunes was even better at "that other stuff" (as opposed to Nottingham handling it poorly).
