Last night just proved to me even more why being smart is the most important quality in an option quarterback. In our JV game last night we went into halftime down 19-0. The OC and I decided to hand the keys to the offense to our QB and take advantage of his best qualities. He's a 99 average kid in school, a pretty good athlete, but isn't what anyone would call fast or quick. (Truth be told, he needs a jump rope and a dream.) So, we told the team we are going no huddle and using the veer and midline audibles at the line to call plays. Our QB did an amazing job of reading the defense and getting us in to the correct call based on where the bubble in the defense was and then making correct reads on when to give, when to keep, and when to pitch. We came back and won 20-19 with both of our starting WBs hurt. Just the ultimate example of why if a QB is smart in this offense he doesn't need to be a great athlete.
