As someone who watched him every game, I have to correct this.

He does not look to run all the time like RG3 or Cam Newton.

He is a great pocket passer. He can go deep, he can lead a reciever, he is no slouch. He slides, and runs out of bounds, rather than taking stupid hits. He threw it away when he could have ran for 2 yards. He is smart.
The plays he got his run yards last week were from read options, called by coaches, using the qbs judgement as he sees the play unfold. In other words, the O-line pulls for a run, while the recievers blow deep, it is lethal against man to man defenses.

Now as a counter they can play zone, then Colin kills them with his strong arm, and great accuracy and reciever leading ability.

Not saying you know nothing about football sir, just saying this kid is not a flash in the pan youngin' like Christian Ponder, or RG3.

This kid is the complete package.

To see a guy, second year execute read plays like this is pretty darn good.

I am sure they will have a defense, but will they stop it?

He averages like 10 more pass attempts than Smith, and doubled their point output.

Alex Smith would have lost the regular season games against the Pats.
