Just ask yourselves this.. If Richt doesn't use him with some designed run plays throughout the game how ****ed off will you be?
Not at all, because he's not a dual threat QB. Michael Vick was a dual threat QB. To me a dual threat QB is one the D always has to be worried about tucking the ball and running with it. Perry simply didn't have the yards in high school to suggest he is a threat to run it. Can he escape pressure and make plays? Yes. Will it be by tearing off 20 yard runs 2-3 times a game? Nope.
Escaping pressure and being mobile does not make you a threat to run the ball. It just keeps the QB upright longer to make a play down the field. In my opinion that is all we need from him. That and the guts to run for 4 yards on 3rd and 3 from time to time.
It's just non-sense saying a QB is dual threat because he can pass AND make a guy miss... and pass.
You've hit on a key point. If the defense you're going to be playing against doesn't have to game plan the fact that you're a consistent threat run the ball, then you're not a dual threat quarterback. And if high school defenses weren't game planning for Perry to be a dual threat, college defenses won't either, unless he shows that he is a consistent runner several times a game. Which he won't. Nor do we want him to. End of story.
exactly.
They will gameplan against him in the run game from day one.. Richt said himself that he wants to have some one under center that brings the threat of running so the end or assigned man doesn't just collapse on the RB in the read option aspect of the RPO he runs (Yes I know what RPO is and yes there are some read option concepts built into it). I also find it hilarious that you guys think he would be able to escape pressure manipulate the secondary with his eyes or whatever else y'all said he can manipulate with throw pin point passes on the run against elite competition but somehow he doesn't have the athleticism to run for at a minimum 5-7 yards per rush if he decided to take off more.. The first time he does all that and throws an incomplete pass or worse we will lose our ****
