No joke, here. Not saying that McSorley is better but after watching him against a fast and outstanding defense a few notions come to mind that seemed obvious. To begin with, he is much, much quicker than Hack. The importance of this is that it helps neutralize blitzing. Hack never got the hang (or had the quickness) of dodging and making quick evasive moves that buys a quarterback time--and, more importantly, gives receivers a chance to get open. Rarely did Hack throw to someone wide open--he just did not buy enough time to make this happen. Good defensive teams knew where he would be and went after him--without any concern of him ducking under and maneuvering to run or buy extra time for his receivers. McSorley, whose footwork reminds me of a healthy Tony Romo, may not be the fastest man on the field, but he has that innate quickness and sense of danger that allows him to squirt out and extend plays. Because of this, defenses will not be able to blitz as much and this should also give a little more time to our running backs. How often was Barkley hit almost as soon as he got the ball? Defenses will simply have to play it more honest with McSorley and this will make the offense much more exciting. Not saying that McSorley has a better arm or a more accurate arm than Hack but he will be throwing to receivers that will be more open because of the quickness (and time) that he brings. I think the offense will be very exciting next year. As McSorley plays more, he will get more confident and more accurate. Personally, I thought the offense was very boring the last couple of years (other than an occasional great run by Barkley or great catch by Godwin). Who knows? Maybe Gesecki will even learn how to catch.
Nits offense will be much better with McSorley over Hackenberg
