It is very difficult for a player who didn't take a snap all year from under center to come into a system and start doing so. It isn't the mechanics as much as reading the defense. It is much easier to read the defense when you are facing them the entire time. Now he will be dropping back - does he have the footwork to do this? - and sometimes forced to turn his head back for a play action pass. If he can pick this up then he can be successful and if he can't then he will have trouble. ]
Brennen looked decent for the Redskins in his limited role and could have done well, but was injured and has to have surgery if he hadn't already. Brennen has a lot of the problem that Pike had and that is being too skinny and fears that he can't handle the physical nature of the game. McCoy isn't the ideal height, but a couple of QBs have been able to excel. I don't think that he fits into Cleveland's current offense, but teams are allowed to change their offense around to fit a QB. |

I agree that every player/qb is in a system some what. Just some systems seem to huge stats because of the system, rather then the players in that system. Sure the players play a significant part, but their stats would be drastically different in another system. A team that runs 50 percent of the time vs. a team that passes 75 percent of the time will produce drastically different numbers for the quarterback, even if that quarterback isn't as good as the one that is in an offense who runs more.
