That is what a guy like Newman gave us. He could stand in the pocket that is close to the LOS in the slow mesh and deliver the ball. I've mentioned it many times, but he made a play when we beat Duke down in Durham the year he took over as starter that illustrates that. We were inside the 10, slow mesh, he pulls the ball has Duke defenders on him, but at his size stood there and delivered a TD pass. None of the QB's we've got and Sam Hartman for that matter could/can do that. From a size and athletic make up, Newman was perfect for our offense. Hard for us to find those guys though.Salter compares with Jamie Newman. Loved having a QB that could brutalize a defense with option runs, and stay strong in the short pocket.
