Wouldn't the scheme that maximizes Lamar's talent most be the wishbone option? Imagine Lamar, Bonafon and Williams Rolling right and it looks like Lamar is going to pitch to Reggie and all of a sudden he pulls up and throws deep. Or he jukes and runs, or he flips to williams. but to heck with this pocket passing stuff. run the wishbone option and we'd average 70 points on most teams.
no other qb in history has his unique ability and the wishbone with his talent to also pass would be unprecedented. bobby would be considered the greatest genius. regretfully i feel this year with him trying to be a pocket passer may be lessening our ability to win as his lack of scrambling is keeping us from short yardage on second and third downs and our offense isn't wearing down the defense. but the wishbone would have the defenses gassed by the fourth quarter. imagine an air force team with a heisman qb and good receivers. that'd be fun!
