You know, I heard this same tired argument back in the 80s when folks said the wishbone was the only real football. The game evolves. What you're calling "video game" play is just a quarterback with elite talent making it look easy, something we saw from our own greats like Tim Brylka when he'd pick apart a defense. You talk about Jay Barker like he wasn't a playmaker himself. Leadership isn't just about scowling in a huddle, it's about making the plays that ignite your entire team, and a spring game can absolutely show you who has that spark. I remember watching our 1999 team in the spring and seeing a young quarterback's confidence spread like wildfire, and that squad went on to have a special season. This obsession with "the grind" just for grind's sake is how you get left behind. The great coaches adapt. The idea that you can't build a tough team with modern players is a loser's mentality. We built plenty of tough teams at Millikin that could win in November in the CCIW, and we celebrated when our guys made spectacular plays, in April or in October. You want to dismiss a young player's obvious talent because it came in a scrimmage? That sounds like envy from a program that wishes they had a quarterback who could create that kind of buzz. We'll see who's built for the moment when the season comes, but writing off a player for being eexciting is a sure way to end up watching the playoffs from your couch.
