Wow. Really puts the heat on Whaley given there was so much good intel on how EJ was likely to be in the NFL. Yeah, no one has a crystal ball but seriously this is about as accurate as it gets. And the irony of running read options by Marrone also puts his cred on the line..again.
"What we do know, however, is that Fisher continued to call read options, and Manuel all of a sudden ran them incorrectly at an alarming rate. This skill that he possessed in 2009 and 2010 -- one that is executed properly in middle school football, was suddenly gone. Paired with recent comments from his teammates about his desire to establish himself as a pocket passer, it raises questions about whether Manuel was refusing to run those plays correctly."
