Ford is a one-trick pony. AS soon as a good defensive coach figures out how to neutralize him, his effectiveness will drop like a stone in a well. Run-first QBs usually do not have longevity.

You'll never stop Ford's running completely but the only way is by making him throw. He may get to a point where he's a competent passer in this league but UI suspect he'll never be elite. Too much dependency on his legs so he's run first & throw second. He had 136 yards rushinbg & only 119 yards passing & throwing just 19 times. Not a recipe for success as a CFL qb. And of course, the more he runs the higher the risk of injury. We've all seen these young athletic looking qbs come in, dazzle us with their running brilliance only to fade away eventually because they could never throw. So, we'll see if he develops into a Tracy Ham or a Terrence Jones. For those of you who don't know who or never heard of Terrence Jones, he was a super athletic qb who could scramble & run like crazy during his CFL career in the 90's. He would have been best described as a "Coach Killer" because he had all the physical tools to be a success but intellectually it just didn't happen. Coaches who started Jones always lost. We've had plenty of  athletic Terrence Jones type qbs come up here & fail. As well as take head coaches down with them.
