But one thing that is obvious is that he runs to run. When he escapes he tucks the ball puts his head down and runs. He does not escape and look to pass. That does limit our ability to make big plays off of broken plays and forces us to work down the field. So far we've done fine but we're still here waiting on a team that can control our OL with their front yet has equivalent athletes on the back end. Against those types of teams big broken plays are sometimes your beat friend and I don't think we will have that.

Hey, when was the last time we had an undefeated QB? I like pocket passer classic Cane QBs but this kid is 4-0; I like that a lot.

Noticed that as well. Hopefully it's more a reflection of either nerves or coaches encouraging him to make quick decisions (i.e. run) when his passing options aren't there. Less for him to think about.
 
If tucking the ball away prevents a costly TO and he gets positive yards. I can't complain about it. Not sure personally from his time here if that is when he may have turned the ball over a lot in practice.
 
I see that as well. And more often than not, he will run right into the teeth of the defense. It's early and he has us at 3-0, so I'm still happy with the results.

I'm going to give La Bamba some leeway here considering the poise in the pocket he displayed on that TD to Berrios, and that first or second pass to Richards when he took big hits.
 
Not only does it limit the passing option, but it also limits his run success b/c, as soon as he tucks, defenders automatically know they can commit and go full speed to take him out rather than having to worry about the pass. I'm certainly nitpicking, but he decides very early sometimes and telegraphs it. Hopefully he'll get better and his runs will become even more effective.
