I'm not sure I would say our weaknesses will be QB and WR.. maybe just that they are unproven.. I believe that there is a plethora of talent coming in at the WR positions and obviously we know about MM and Bennett.
I think it's fair to say QB will be weak as we're breaking in a new one. Not that it guarantees weakness at that position, but it's fair to assume growing pains. As to RB, with Barner and DAT we're fine. I just wish we had a 'between the tackles' runner.
I think you'll be satisfied with barner.. and if you're not.. then this guy might take the curiousty away [video=youtube;CQIPSkadfo4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQIPSkadfo4[/video]
Oh I like Barner. But my coworker is a 3-time all american small college linebacker and he makes a good observation that if all we can do is run outside the tackles it makes it easier to defend. LAM was tough enough to run between the tackles. Barner isn't. So we need someone to keep defenses honest.
it's just one guys opinion so whatever, he's welcome to it. I'd point out that Darron Thomas finished his Redshirt Junior season (and graduated) not his Soph, and I don't think he would have been a 2-3rd round pick if he stayed another season STOMP
