No doubt Barrett and Miller were/are better runners. But for three huge games Cardale was at least decent as a runner. He was not as good on the read option, but he proved capable on knowing when to pull it down and run. IMO he seems to have lost confidence in his judgement of when to run and when to stay with the pass.I was just thinking of this... opportunity cost.
They have to weigh what they give up with their selected starting QB. They give up any running threat with CJ as the starter...
Saturday Penn State kept putting a DE out beyond the tackle and he kept interrupting both the run and the pass. The failure of the coaches to account/adjust for him and his wide split assured that Cardale was not going to have the time to throw deep.
