Disagree. He was a good fit for Stanford's offense under Bloomgren, who recruited him.
A QB who can't move or improvise is not a good fit for Stanford. Primarily because Stanford's WRs typically have a hard time getting open "On Time". It's an age old problem. Same other bad fits were Burns, Chryst, and Costello. I never liked any of them coming out of HS for the same reason.
I especially favor guys like Hogan and Daniels for red zone offense. Their kind of RPO ability expands the playbook in that situation--something that Stanford has really struggled with since Hogan. I'm sick of seeing nothing but corner fade routes.
No more PP QBs!
Red80:
Below, Trying to get my facts & data straight (to keep up with the high bar being set by BostonCard in these posts. *lol*)
(1). I dont know too much about Ashton Daniels.
(2). But I agree with your assessment on the advantage of a true mobile dual-threat QB 100%.
(3). If anyone disagrees with this, look no further than what Bo Nix of Oregon (a Dual-threat QB) did to teams this year (including us), when he was healthy. I believe he took it 70+ yards to the House on us.
(4). Also look at what Max Duggan (of TCU) a dual-threat QB has done this year. He has elevated a slightly above mediocre team (TCU) ...that does not sit at the 5*star recruiting table, & with a mediocre coach, ....to a 12-0 season (he is very similar to Kevin Hogan). By the way Max Duggan was a 200meter runner in high school.
