    I get a sense that's the exact way they're teaching him... But in no way do I want him to change the way he floats in the pocket and away from dlinemen... That I feel is his foundation for his good scrambling.. Almost like a staggered foot posture, which, as evidenced, leaves defenders playing Russian roulette as to where he's going to take off to.

    The list of cornerbacks and LBers Marcus has burned with that is long, and full of some pretty big names. When he rolls out and they see him coming he forces them to make a decision to stay with their man or shut down his run game.
    And more often than not, he makes them pay for whichever choice they make.

    I wanted to be cautiously optimistic, but I can't help myself. Overly excited! Guy looks like the real deal. Already got my #8 jersey. I always need to keep a current player jersey in my closet. Excited to rock #8 on game day!

    I know, which in turn breaks down the pass coverage -- because realistically, only a CB or S is gonna catch him -- very very very few DL can't motor with him

    I'm looking forward to seeing another playmaker at QB who can throw the ball.

    I'm excited because I think he's the most complete QB we've had come in, and he seems ready for the pro game too.

    I'm still surprised we made the pick.
