In reply to: Agree, it's a catch 22. Don't run him and you limit the posted by SEE

He's more of a guy who can scramble if needed, but he's really not big, strong or fast enough to make his living as a running QB. He's certainly more mobile than Rees and has a much stronger arm, but he does have limits as both a runner and a pocket passer such that comparisons to Manziel or Russell Wilson seem like a bit of a stretch.

I think a Russell Wilson comparison is very close - IrishintheD 2013-03-06 19:41:50
- I don't equate actual production to potential - Jvan 2013-03-06 22:07:21
  - Production is about dead equal. Golson will blow Wilson's - SEE 2013-03-06 22:21:33
    - Who cares about numbers? - Jvan 2013-03-07 10:01:43
      - Neither did Wilson. - irishaddict 2013-03-07 13:00:08
        Even if true, so what? - Jvan 2013-03-07 14:54:06
        At this point in their careers Golson compares favorably - irishaddict 2013-03-07 15:41:24
        Aside from numbers and physical stature - Jvan 2013-03-07 16:27:14
        Those are very fair points - irishaddict 2013-03-07 16:57:26
- aside from the 25 lb weight differential? - ACross 2013-03-06 21:38:05
  - You've got to get over the height thing... * - IrishintheD 2013-03-06 23:18:21
    - It means he doesn't have a strong arm - SEE 2013-03-07 04:55:45
      - Is that what it means? * - ACross 2013-03-07 10:55:25
        It did to you last year. Remember that insightful - SEE 2013-03-07 11:41:30
        I do remember asserting that there is a general correlation - ACross 2013-03-07 11:46:30
        I remember you saying exactly that. - ugoirish 2013-03-07 16:54:36
        Golson has a strong arm for any size. He throws 35 yard - SEE 2013-03-09 03:52:34
  - Wilson was 201 a RS Sr. and he's shorter. Which of these - SEE 2013-03-06 22:14:17
    - I don't know that he is shorter - jt 2013-03-07 00:52:47
      - You sayin Wison's shorter than 5'11"? - SEE 2013-03-07 05:05:21
        I said "I don't know that he's shorter" - jt 2013-03-07 11:16:58
