One more thing that frustrated me was that he rarely ran, even when the field was wide open. I screamed at my TV more than once, "Why didn't he RUN the ball?!?!?" I wasn't expecting him to be Vick, but when there was nothing but grass, he'd pull up and throw a duck.His mechanics were all over the place and he tried to play hero ball a lot.
He thought he could continue to be the multi sport phenom like he had always been.
Quarterback is too tough for that. It requires complete focus past the high school level. If he had given up baseball, he would have had a chance to be a reliable quarterback. That muscle memory has to be completely locked in to succeed at game speed. Spending your summers on the diamong won’t get you where you need to be in the pocket.
The guy had talent, but it wasn't focused.
