Antwaan Randle El

I know I've mentioned this in a couple of threads but I figured I'd start a new one to debate the issue. What if we tried Randle El at QB? His college resume isn't too bad and when things break down in the pocket he could make something happen. I pulled this from wikipedia:

He finished his college career as the fifth on the all-time NCAA total yardage list, and became the first player in college football history to record 2,500 total yards for four consecutive years. He finished his career with 7,469 passing yards, 3,895 rushing yards, and 86 touchdowns running and passing. He is considered to be the 2nd most statistically productive dual-threat quarterback to ever play college football.

Re: Antwaan Randle El

You mean full-time??

Not gonna happen.

There's a reason why he wasn't drafted as a QB. He's undersized, he really doesn't have the arm, and his talents are better utilized at WR.

Not full time but like a change up for something like a no huddle series. That would have to throw any defense off balance.

Re: Antwaan Randle El

Maybe it's not a good idea to add this type of dimension to what is already considered a confusing offense, but I would like to see Randle El start taking a few snaps just to change things up -- not full time, mind you.

Just have him do what they've got Vick doing in Atlanta with great success. Get under center, fake to Portis, do some misdirection plays and QB draws here and there.

I can only assume Saunders has a few of these up his sleeve for later on. Right now though, running the basic stuff seems to have Brunell and others mystified.

Re: Antwaan Randle El

I watched him live when Penn State played Indiana and he has some insane moves. To use him only as a wide receiver is a travesty. I'm sure the Redskins have other plans for him, but can you imagine him under center faking a reverse to moss and running around the edge?

Kordell Steward was a reciver and then did very well as a QB.....So why not try Randle El at it?!?

No, Kordell was a QB at Colorado (threw the miracle pass to Westbrook to beat Michigan) but the Steelers put him at WR because he tanked as a pro QB but they still wanted to keep Slash's speed on the field somehow.

Randel El is better than Stewart ANY day.

I like the no-huddle Randel El at QB trick, but I hope he doesn't throw to Brunell!

Re: Antwaan Randle El

he would be good at that shotgun option that atlanta uses with mike vick. but outside of some trickery i dont see that as a viable qb to use full time.
