Not much about Swoopes reminds me of Boykin. Boykin can scramble and deliver an accurrate pass. He has excellent speed.
Swoopes is a big more lumbering type, thas has major accurracy problems. That is why he has that 18 wheeler package. It's not called the race car package for a reason.
Norvell got this idea from the "Belldozer" at OU, he saw it all the time there. Same kind of quarterback, big physical type, that had problems with passing accurracy.
Boykin kind of makes other players look good too. He got the ball to Doctson, to make those catches. He helped open up the running game for Green, by being a duel threat quarterback on every play.
Swoopes has his purpose with that 18 wheeler package, but he is not the type of quarterback needed for Gilbert's offense.
Accurracy is a very large part of the new offence and probably at least, a fairly mobile quarterback. A solid O-line would help too.
We have all seen Swoopes play a lot of football and he ain't no Boykin.
Who knows about Heard or any of the other quarterbacks.
This is the problem we have at present. Somebody has to step up for the offense to be consistantly successful.
