There is a lot of truth in that. We have the read option. Will isn't going to run that with effectiveness. As I pointed out in another thread, those sacks can become positive yards and the defense will be forced to change. However, you can't throw aside the accuracy and experience for a backup that's not totally ready. I believe Sawyer will be ready next year, but what do you do with Will if he stays?
