BB is not a flashy role in the offense. It's the workhorse. It's all about taking what you can get up the middle, but when 2 yards is what you need, you have to get it. I'd rather have a guy that gets those 2 yards every time, than a guy who can dance for the highlight reel once a week. Laskey is plenty good enough.
This. I want a guy who can get 7-8 yards a clip when the defense is trying to stop the outside (see Laskey against VT, Syracuse, uva last year, and Miami, BC, and Duke in 2012). I also want a guy who can get the tough 1-2 yards on a midline option so its not obvious the QB is getting it every time. I think Laskey can do both of those.
