Dylan Raiola

Eh, I'm not sure that timeline is right.  This doesn't exactly sound like "he's good where he is" to me.  It was a couple of weeks later when he tried to go for the "you misinterpreted what I said" card and walk the comments back.

I don't know how you take that quote any other way than what I said earlier, unless you want to believe Dylan is a fatboy. Rhule is simply saying he is working on his body comp. Again, something every young athlete does.

Than fanbase was poking at Dylan's weight since he stepped on campus so I don't think any discussion by coach is really unprompted.

You said you didn't think Rhule said he needed to lose any weight.  I don't think it's a stretch to say that Rhule though he could trim down a bit to be more nimble and able to run.

I guess if you want to semantic the difference between "body comp" and "weight", that's fine.  But, again, I don't think you can read Rhule's comments as "he's fine where he is."

The picture was from this spring, not from when he first got on campus.

I wasn't talking about that picture.  I was talking about people who were talking about him being fat before this picture.  Hence the "looking fit not fat" tag.  Plus media asking about Dylan's weight.  

 
I don't care what he looks like, I don't want my QB running the ball.  Can he throw the ball on time, with the correct velocity, and in the right window? I would rather have Peyton Manning or Tom Brady statues back there and RBs running the ball instead.

If there was nothing wrong with Raiola's weight, that was the worst statement by a coach you could possibly come up with.

I don't necessarily either.  In a perfect world, our QB would never run.  However, life happens and plays break down, linemen lose their blocks...etc.  A QB that is nimble on his feet extends plays till WRs get open or pick up first downs on their own when all that happens.  Ones that aren't take more sacks.
