Just happened, DC must love them some Ohio State QB's!

He was assigned to DC, not drafted.

Jones said Hamilton’s track record of developing quarterbacks made signing with D.C. “a no-brainer.”

He has done better with Shea than anyone else so far, so...

Also this:

In February, Hamilton described his offense as “an attacking, fast-paced style of play that will feature the playmakers that we have on the team.”

If he does those things, it’ll be a first.  
 

They weren’t fast paced at Stanford when he was OC, they weren’t fast paced in Indianapolis when he was OC there, they weren’t fast paced at Michigan when he was here.

Under Pep Hamilton's tutelage, Andrew Fucking Luck regressed mightily. 

Under Pep Hamilton's tutelage, Michigan's offense regressed mightily (disclaimer: Speight obviously died at Iowa, and it's hard to coach a zombie). The "this is Harbaugh's offense" argument hold no water: other OCs have been able to make it dynamic and interesting. 

He's *on record* as preferring to only take one deep shot per quarter. 

So yeah, the next time that Pep does anything fast-paced and attacking...will be the first time. 

However, I have no trouble believing that we'll see a lot of the featured RB attacking the middle of a defensive line just waiting for him...

Shoot look what Greg Roman is doing with Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. I don’t think he was a favorite when his name was being brought up around here for a job, but he’s doing very well
