With that train of thought, he's not even fit to replicate RGIII.

Why wouldn't they? Who else currently on the roster posseses his skillset? Nobody outside of RGIII.

Thinking thru your scenarios.
1. If White and RGIII were to line up together in the pistol ---- yes you wouldn't know who the ball was going to be snapped to, BUT in the case where it went to White ----- what does RGIII do????? Does KS send him out for a pass --- NO. Does he set him up on the other side of the field for a double pass ---- NO. Giving it to White would essentially take RGIII out of the play --- which isn't what is best for the offense.
Wrong. It doesn't take RGIII out of the play. The whole premise is deception, that's what this offense was built on and doing something similiar would further build upon it. If you have both player acting as if they've received the ball, RGIII can take 3 steps and put his hands up. That WILL freeze the defense, someone WILL have to look at him and respect his ability.
Nobody is talking about sending Robert out on passes, let's be real here. We're talking deception. We're talking opening up our WR's. We're talking about freezing LB's.

That was said moreso jokingly...and option inside of an option. However, Pat does offer the ability to somewhat decently throw the ball while on the run and/or while having the option to run it or dish it.
markshark84 wrote:3. Pistol > Wildcat. No need for both. Especially because defensive preparation for both is VERY similar --- almost exact.
I disagree. The more things a defense has to prepare for, the less prepared they are for your traditional offense. Mike Shanahan has said it, and afer listening to Trent Dilfers interviews with ESPN 980 last year, he's said it. Mike/Kyle overwhelmed defenses with possibilities when in-fact they really ran their "regular" offense but did so out of the pistol formation. Adding in another wrinkle, or the appearance there of will further propel us forward.

And what you find to be the most likely scenario would completely go against everything Mike Shanahan stands for. Mike, one of the most secretive coaches in the league is going to have Pat run RGIII's offense for 5 months straight... And then allow another team to get him? A divisional rival at that?!
Let's think about this logical for a second.
- The Giants wanted him now, so that he could mimic RGIII.
- So you actually believe Mike is going to train Pat in the offense that RGIII will be running so that he can then go to the Giants and provide an even more accurate portroyal of RGIII. As my coworker would say... "THAT. IS. LUDICROUS." It would completely.... Like... Word don't even come to mind to express how much sense that doesn't make.

I think RGIII's speed isn't as important as we'd all like to believe.
Especially the last option lol
draft pick). With Pat White under contract everyone that hated the Jason Taylor trade can let it go
