My point is that he should put his shoulder down and get those extra yards when we need em..
Brady kept the ball on a read option against NDSU and faked EVERYONE out for a huge first down early in the game.I sure wish he had kept the ball on a read several times during the CAL POLY game as it was there. He only needs to do it once or twice a game, but he needs to keep it or the defense moves with the motion with no risk.
Go Griz!

I'm happy with the slide and I'm guessing Stitt is too. Concussed QB = bad news.
Gotta say I disagree with the "he should slide less" opinion.
I think Stitt probably does as well. Brady has thrown the ball over 100 times in the first two games. He is the offense. When you've got such a gap from your 1st string to your 2nd string guy, I think it's too much to risk him getting hurt just for a few extra yards. Stitt may have just told him "whenever you run and are about to get tackled, just go down". Brady isn't a natural runner, so one could argue he's more likely to get hurt running.
It's also early in the season. We'd like to win every game, but these weren't must-win situations. I'll bet in the playoffs or in must-win games, you'll probably see Brady charge forward a little more.
In hindsight, it's easy to pick on his slides that didn't get first downs, but in the long run we should be able to pick up those extra yards through the air or with the RBs in this offense
(That isn't to say I don't wish we had a more running QB. I'll always be in favor of having one as opposed to not, but only if he's clearly better than a non-runner, and I don't think that's the case here) :twocents:

I keep reading all of the QB chatter. Yes, we have 5-6 of them. Unfortunately, quantity does not equal quality. Maybe NONE of them are the answer, including Brady. If Gus keeps over-throwing receivers, and is inaccurate 20% of the tine, he is not he answer.
What chaps my ass is why EWU always seems to have a great QB waiting in the wings to replace the great starter. Why can't UM recruit these QBs? We never seem to even offer the QBs that EWU signs, yet many of them are better than the ones we sign. Just another example to the fact that our recruiting is not what it used to be.

If it makes you feel better, Growler, EWU really wanted Willy Pflug.

Willie, the great hope! He will never be a stud here. Way too small. Stitt will bring in his boy next season. Mark it down.

I gotta believe the slides come directly from Stitt. I have a hard time believing Gustafson is that squeamish of contact
