My only issue with saying Spurrier is a bad example is


that a personal opinion on how great, above average, average, below average, or poor the quality of a player is still subjective. For example a Hokie fan may consider Shyrone Stith to be a "great RB" and another Hokie fan may only consider him to be "above average." Likewise, someone may say RB A was a "great RB" because he ran well even though he had hands of stone. While another person may say RB B was a "great RB" because he was great at catching passes out of the backfield (basically a 3rd Down RB by NFL standards) even though he may not have had great running stats.

To get back to the topic at hand, I am not sure if Hokie fans have seen Fuente run his "ideal system" at VT yet. It is even possible he didn't get a chance to run at Memphis. At least not in the purist sense of the form. What I mean is that the offense is clicking on all cylinders because he has "his guy" at QB. If he truly had "his guy" at QB, then Fuente's "ideal system" may still be "successful" with only serviceable RBs or even going with a RB by Committee approach. Basically Fuente's "ideal system" doesn't need a Kevin Jones or Lee Suggs to be "successful" when it can still be "successful" with Kenny Lewis Jr or Wayne Ward. Now that isn't to say he wouldn't object to having Kevin Jones or Lee Suggs on the team. It just isn't a requirement in order to be "successful" which is another subjective word since each person has his/her own opinion on what meets the definition of a "successful VT offense."
