Ah, my old nemesis, NC.
Actually you can take the post that way, but I was just reading up on some things. Yes, we have lost major players, recruits and past verbal commitments because of our offense's reputation of not throwing the ball.
As I said, I want it all. In the 90's FSU beats us half those games simply because they threw the ball high to tall athletic receivers. We'd outplay them, they'd just toss it up. And we couldn't do much to defend it. (and now UGA is getting the same guys)
Against Duke, DT did the same thing a few times. Certainly PJ has shown some throwing in his past offenses, but his WR's are often ex QB's and RB's (smaller players). I believe that if PJ got a good running and throwing QB and he had plenty of DT's around, he'd throw it even more.
I just am hoping that we can get ahead of the curve and get some more of those tall athletic guys in the mold of CJ, Dez White and DT. It really adds to the offense IMO.
My original post was lamenting how much fun it is to have a DT in our offense right now. But realistically, those guys do not often drop into PJ's hands. Here's hoping that the advantages offered by PJ will attract those kids, but generally I think most are going to be looking at USC, OU, UGA, TT, UT, UM, UM, FSU, etc. first.
I'm not knocking our program, I want it all.
