I never saw Harrel getting a shot either, only because I don't think we will see any air raid Mike Leach qb get a shot. Its all going to be "system qb". Look at Nick Florence for Baylor last year, same system as RG3, he comes in puts up great stats through the air, not a word about him.
Tuel might be the exception, I think he had one year? under Leach, which might have helped him out a bit.
As far as Young, he is NOT A BACKUP qb. You are looking for either two things in a backup, an up and coming guy to lead the future (maybe its just hoping you can develop him) or a journeyman type that knows the playbook in and out and can run the SAME offense, there might be some limitations due to physical ability like certain throws they can't make but its the same thing. A lot of these younger White qbs like Harrell and Chase Daniel got to learn the playbook and are kind of a mixture of both categories, in Harrell's case you would want to try and get a good trade for him since Rogers is still young. People have been whining about lack of black back up qbs in the league and mention journeymen White guys that are old and won't do anything, well they are there for the 2nd reason I said. Unless you want a slash type qb, you don't need a guy like Young as a backup, and surprised McCarthy is doing this, because he hated the fact that he had to dumb down his playbook for Aaron Brooks, so I wonder how much say he had in this.
and as far as black back up qbs? we barely have any White rbs, and two of them are on the same team. We are supposed to believe that none can even be in the rotation with such "greats" as Shonn Greene, Bilal Powell etc.
Good thing about Hillis, I see he is the only one that averaged 4 ypc for them, funny last night i went to bed upset, because i checked the box score and he wasn't even listed on there.
funny thing about Finley, i keep seeing posts about "i think this is the year he finally breaks out" lol
