Alin Edouard got his offer

The game is changing. Simple as that. The whole "Pro-Style QB's" argument is outdated and irrelevant.
 
Nice, I am happy for the kid...seems like he really wants to be here. When watching his film what really jumped out at me was his speed. He has legit elite WR type speed at the QB position.
 
Wait, are people really bashing him because he isn't commiting the day he gets the offer?

Most schools around the country especially SFL schools sometimes make kids who are heavily recruited wait untill after the spring evaluation period to commit so other kids at the school gets some looks by those schools coming to see your top prospect.

Good point. Word, from Cash, is that McDermott is doing this.

I really like his arm from the tape I have seen.

With the exception of Russell Wilson, "pro-style" or not, successful NFL quarterbacks are tall and can pass. Mobility is a plus that allows wrinkles in the offense. Even if Kaepernik et al were non-mobile they have the tools to be pocket passers (unlike a guy like Vince Young). It is the shorter, midwestern spread quarterbacks who aren't good in the NFL.
 
This is my dude. I've gushed about him since his highlights first went up. I think his potential is better than Teddy Bridgewater.

Wow, that's a heckuva endorsement. I like the kid a ton but this is going to prompt another viewing of the clips.
 
I really hope this kid just commits soon and gets to recruiting. Don't delay it if you know this is where you want to go.

Miami is probably only taking 1 QB this year. So I hope he commits soon, before another QB takes advantage of that 1 coveted QB spot in this class. An early stud QB commit makes WR, OL, and RB more comfortable with committing early.

Don't be scared Lu...say it with me...RG3...RG3...RG3, even if it is outlandish, I'm going to will it into existence by repeating it lol

I was also sold after first seeing his clips. Bridgewater is a great comparison, but Edo seems be a better athlete.

Who were those dual threat qb's for Bama, LSU, USC and Miami again? And in the NFL it is a different story, but to those saying that Brees and Rodgers do not play a pro style offense, look again. Now the passing game has changed, thanks to all the rule changes, where you are seeing 3 wides, and 4 wides and 5 wides, which have always existed, but the base of an offense and of all winning offenses is the traditional pro style offense, due to the fact that defenses are too sophisticated and fast to leave your QB all alone with no threat of running the ball thus making the play action useless.

As for Newton, again how many games has Carolina won, not to mention this year he was very mediocre. RG3 I really, like, but that is unlike Newton, RG3 has brains and can actually run multiple offensive sets unlike Newton, as evident by his remarkable td to int ratio in a rookie year. But the question still remains how long he can sustain that dual role, NFL QB's cannot survive long term with that kind of pounding.

Now all this is moot, college is a different game than the NFL, it's why you can win with qb's that throw floaters, qb's that really are not qb's, or dual threat qb's. But one thing for sure, in college, I would rather take a qb with brains than any dual threat, electrifying qb any day. Those guys win more than the other. History has shown that.

So Alin, though nice to see that he has an offer, and physically has great tools, and from a recruiting standpoint looks to be a pied piper so to speak, if the kid does not have the mental aptitude for the position then pass, if he does then great.
 
As long as he commits no later then June/July, it will still build a ton of momentum going into the summer and on to the next year! Definitley still tons of time left for him to take his time with it and make sure. We all know what the terms "Canes lock" and "dream school" have meant in the past.

I would rather him wait a month or two to make sure he is 100%, and then STAY committed, rather then commit now only to pull a Whitfield, Collins, Kearse, Bryant.

Why would you think that Edouard might not have the 'brains' or 'mental aptitude' for the position?
