If I recall correctly Plummer ran a lot of bootlegs, roll-outs, etc. under Shanahan. Stuff to get him on the move and also to probably cut the field in half and simplify his reads.

Yeah, I would say Plummer was more mobile than JC has been recently, but I think that will change under Shanahan.

yeah, I remember Plummer rolling out a lot in that O. He was a hard qb to figure, seemed on the verge of being really good but couldn't put it all together. I think if anything JC is at least more consistent that he was.

Staples of the Shanahan offense, regardless of who is under center. I think JC would benefit from being on the move.

That's what Campbell will be doing, it's Shanahan's system. I think JC will do fine in it. Shanahan likes to play with half a field for his QBs, so when on a rollout to pass, he'll have 2 or 3 options right in front of him just at different yardages with a quick slant, a mid-depth WR and a deep option if open. Going through his targets will be fast and quick, decisions will be made quickly and he'll run for a lot of first downs when his receivers are covered. It seems like a system that is tailor-made for Campbell's abilities and deficiencies.
