Preferred walkon or greyshirt I say. I'd like to have him on the team, just would rather use the remaining schollies on some other positions.
Creekmur offer??

How do we know Creekmur can make multiple reads and is accurate at the college level? How do we know if Tiller or Barnett cannot make multiple reads or are inaccurate at the college level?
And yes, a QB that can run is absolutely essential for this this offense. We run a zone read. We either have a QB that can run or we should change offenses.
Preferred walkon would be my preference too, but I will leave that up to the coaches. If they want to give him a schollie to make sure we get him (and not EIU) I am ok with that.
Maybe he likes the kind of offense we play? Lot's of kids grow up Hawk fans, not knowing any better and come to their senses as they get older.
I wasn't talking about Tiller or Barnett. It just seems more fans think the spread offense means you have to have a fast QB. Not true at all! It's a bonus if they can move in the pocket but they don't need to run
And we don't know that Creekmur can make the reads at the college level. But you don't know that about any QB you sign to play. What you look at and like about Creekmur is that he has played in the spread since he was a freshmen and has looked very good doing it. He reminds me so much of Vandenberg in that he is becoming a state wide name late in his senior year and is starting to get looks.
I think we offer him personally
Nothing against him but we'd have 5 scholarship QB's next year if that was the case. I'd be surprised.
We run a spread but our primary running game is a zone read. The QB has to be a threat in that or they will just ignore him and tackle the RB. We absolutely must have a QB that can use his legs if we are going to run the offense we run.
I would think that depends on who is the QB. Under a better passer, that may be tweaked. I think CPR is smart enough to tailor his philosophy to the talent he has to work with.
The only reason our primary running game is the zone read is because we have a QB who can't pass. And the QB does not have to be a thread at all! He can playaction the run and pass teh ball.
Daniels, Harrell, ran the spread and all they were was mobile but not exactly runners
