[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1333801"] Reminds me of Malachi Dupree wasting away at LSU because he didn't have a QB that could throw the ball downfield. I really feel bad for Dudek in particular. The kid could easily be a 75+ reception, 1,000+ yard, 10+ TD receiver for dozens of programs, but this is one of the few Big Ten-level programs in which he's pretty much screwed. I also feel bad for Crouch. He has no offensive line whatsoever, and you can in large part thank the clown Beckman and his MAC-level recruiting for assembling the embarrassment we have on the field now. But, the kid needs to be able to throw a football downfield. In this day and age, you have to be able to spread defenses around. And right now, we're playing 1920s style football because our QB just isn't capable of passing vertically. This makes the Dustin Ward days seem like the days of Aaron Rodgers. Not saying JGJ is Jon Beutjer, because he's not. But at least he gives the offense another dimension. Just have to ask yourself........is this program going to win with Crouch as QB? It's not fair to pin it all on him, but there is no more important position in sports than the QB position. [/QUOTE]
