Unless you have an all time great offensive line that's been together for 3-4 years and has the experience and the toughness to get through the season, you need a mobile QB to be successful in college. It just is how it's done now a days. You don't need Michael Vick out there, but you need someone who can escape pressure and run for a 1st down, make 1 defender miss and scramble outside the pocket. Wells has a hard time getting that done.
IF Hosick decides to join this program, I'll be interested to see how it plays out.
