Why in the fuck is there this belief going around that AR has to be a running back as well as a QB. Initially it was that his legs would compensate for his inexperience as a passer until his passing came around. Absolutely nobody believes that AR is going to be a 30 year old running back/QB. Nobody's body is going to stand up to that kind of beating year after year. Watching AR play for just over 2 games a few things are clear. The man is very very smart-at least in a football sense. He keeps improving in leaps and bounds with his decision making, pocket presence and leadership. It may be worth running the young man in the red zone, OCCASIONALLY, but WTF are we doing it in the middle of the field for? Let him use his crazy athleticism to escape from the pocket and make plays down the field with his cannon of an arm. When you escape the pocket you are running AWAY from defenders, not into the teeth of the defense. Sliding is way more natural and the hits less powerful when you are not running with a 'Earl Campbell' type attitude. It is stupid to take any extra chances, I don't want to see another career ruined by injury (I am still sick about Bert Jones-yeah I'm 70 now. Those of you up there with me will attest that it is incredibly weird being this old-and getting weirder). On top of that once that joint is weakened it is much easier to injure again. Stop trying to make him into a hybrid running back/QB please.
