A good QB can make the play caller look better than they are. Potts extended plays with freelance when things broke down... you can coach that, but alot of QB's like Potts just make that happen. Neither Powell or Bearden have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both elusive as could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whs1984 Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Good win for bearden was surprised Farragut didn't use their short passing game didn't even play # 11 on offense that I saw he torched West twice for tds on short drag routes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that....Todd was elusive and from memory faster than people probably give him credit for. I remember his SR year playing Powell in the jamboree and took a read, pulled it and was gone around the end. Powell was loaded that year too and he made it look easy.

And a lot of people don’t realize but he was every bit as good at Safety as he was as a QB. One of the best HS talents I’ve ever seen in my 44 years.

I can still see Gene Davis grasping at air cause Helton wasn't there anymore. That kid from CHS is like that, not as good a passer as Todd.

But what do l know, coaching has changed so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A play breaks down and everyone scrambles... you can call it what you want. But you're freelancing when it turns into backyard football.
