Change the Narrative on Stanley

Also looks like Nate's lost 5 or 10 lbs. His feet looked quicker and faster on those runs and, though he'll never be Brad Banks, the threat to take off and run for 10 yards or whatever adds another dimension to his game.

And have you also noticed that when he does "take off and run for 10 yards", it's always when the defense is in man coverage? In zone coverage in the same situation he's typically throwing the ball away. That's mainly because in man coverage the defenders are paying more attention to their man whereas in zone they are watching the QB and reading what he's doing. He's definitely matured in that sense.
