as a pure passer I agree with u wholeheartedly, he reeks of a guy who can't make every throw, and will be a dink and dunk QB at best. I do think his running puts him above that category.
He's not gonna be starting anyway after this incident, whether it's lindquist, williams, or KJCS the starting QB will not by miles and I am confident CP will make the right choice
I agree with most of this. I think QBs have to lead by example and are held to a much higher standard. It would be one thing if Miles had built up equity as a guy who already had a couple seasons of starts under his belts, but he hasn't. Because of this, the only way I see him starting next year is if he is exonerated before training camp. Which could happen. We'll see.
I do think that Miles is a slightly above average runner. He's a bit like Kaepernick in that he won't break defenders ankles but he's kind of "tanky" and can run a bit more aggressively than guys like KP could and is at his best running in a straight line.
I don't think his running ability makes up for his other shortcomings. Every pass he throws in the red zone is a bit of a horror show because coverage tightens up in that area to the point where nearly every pass has a small window. Even if they scheme him to run on half his dropbacks like Tim Tebow, he's still going to have major issues at the end of drives.
Could be a pretty interesting Spring practice. I think it's at least somewhat interesting that Petersen brought in a 4-star QB this year despite the fact that Miles, Lindquist, and Williams all have 3+ years of eligibility left. Might just have been a move for depth, but it does make you wonder if maybe CP isn't as sold on UW's QB group as Sark was.
