Did Romney being less dynamic have a net positive impact on the coaching staff?
Sometimes a limited offensive playbook is a good thing, especially in college football where execution is at a premium. Baylor is a good passing QB. He is an okay athlete, but nowhere near the level of Zach or Jaren. So do his limitations as a runner actually make it easier for the staff to call plays, and did the renewed focus on the short passing game & just completing balls (not forcing it down field) result in better overall execution?

I've always believed in what Steve Young says, in that if a play results in him running with the football something went wrong. His legs needed to be used as a last resort, but were valuable because they kept opposing teams honest and limited what they could do in coverage.

I know the coaches want to take advantage of all the tools Zach and Jaren bring to the table. But a lack of flow in the offense seems to be a common result. It seems like the offense would benefit immensely by scrapping most RPOs and focusing more on consistent execution of the short passing game. If things break down, having a QB with the athleticism to make a play is a huge asset. RPOs and designed QB runs should be reserved for special situations when the team needs a critical first down, they shouldn't be the core of the offense.
