In 07 they used smith at qb at least a little in a wildcat-esque manner when delhome and carr were out. Arizona did the same with anquan. Both of those were before the outbreak of the wildcat this last season.

Other teams used direct snap plays. No other team used the Wildcat.

When will people learn that while the Wildcat is a RB direct snap, not all RB direct snaps are the Wildcat.

They actually had a game a couple years ago where DeAngelo Williams basically got direct snaps all game.

But they did run some stuff last year with DeAngelo at QB. I really don't know if it's "wildcat" per se though.

That's what I'm saying. My patriots have used the RB direct snap to Kevin Faulk for i dunno how long

Player B is the exact same thing as Player A except he played Corner in college. If coaches were to try to move Malcolm Jenkins from Ohio State to WR for instance they would be called crazy since he played no WR. But when its a QB whos faster than average all of a sudden there expected to no how to play WR?

The reason for this is player A in these situations is a guy who has never played QB in a pro style offense and is basically going to be a developmental prospect either as a receiver or as a QB.

The player however is seen as having the athleticism to play either position. Therefore he is going to be most valuable to his team in whichever position he can make the biggest impact to the team the quickest.

As a QB this guy will have to be carried on the roster for probably 2 or 3 years without truly impacting the team in any way. After that time he may or may not have developed into a solid stater.

As a WR/KR however the guy can really make more of an impact much earlier. Based on pure athleticism and elusiveness which can be seen from the running ability he has shown he can already produce at least somewhat as a returner and sensationally on screen passes, reverses, and other such plays as well as a wildcat QB. That alone is probably more valuable than the chance that he might become a solid starting QB plus then he has the chance of becoming a solid starter as a receiver. This is a much safer and much more appealing situation for the team as he can at least make some impact right away without really greatly lowering his ceiling potential impact too greatly.

This is true, i think its just gonna play out like a draw. And draws in madden arent that effective.

No, but I have a feeling the Wild cat might be overused.

It might be. Cheesers are definitly going to try to find glitches and exploits in this wild cat. It just depends on how there implementing the wild cat and how procedural awareness plays out.
