Not even Spring practice and yet here we go.
-
Mercy, just read that Jalen is going to be limited in Spring practice due to and off Season surgery,-- Third tine in four years this being the case.-- Tis time dealing with an ankle.
With a whole new set of Receivers , Tight end and new running backs-- With a new man OC 00 Coach Z , which Daniels has run under yet because Jalen didn’t play in the bowl Z was calling plays ( Jason Bean did )— Daniels is already behind . the described the procedure as minor but going to be limited the whole spring. That’s not a goof way to start with so many players learning the system without QB- 1 . kid can’t catch a break
-
The team goes as the QB goes. Ominous start.
-
@SlimShaddy54 I’m not sure if Lance has heard - but JD is not the only QB in the world.
-
@dylans ya, you are correct sir. With him not having any experience under Z’s system he needs all the reps he can get and yet- - -we have this
One year - -JUST FOR ONE YEAR , I would like to be able to get through Spring or off Season with our injuries or drama.- -Watch this thing drag out, then they will end up saying well Jalen has had a little set back- - or Jalen is just day to day , way our/his lucks goes
-
@nuleafjhawk your right , I’m sure well you have too think with JD-6 not having any experience under Z offense , as far a experience terms of running his offense, JD is at the same starting point as our other QB, kinda like a freshman in that respect.
I mean obviously JD’S 4-5 years of overall College ball will for sure give him a big edge, but you can bet our other two will be getting plenty of spring ball reps for sure , just in case worst case scenario this does drag out.
-
@SlimShaddy54 I drank the Koolaid a couple of years ago when JD’s name was being mentioned in the early Heisman talks. Since then, I think he’d be a good high school QB but not a good college QB. That’s my opinion, I don’t care what the stats say (I don’t KNOW what the stats say). I just thinks he’s a not great QB.
-
@nuleafjhawk Well , I’m not sure if I would go along with that 100 % or not , but everyone is entitled to their opinion, I think when JD is 100 % healthy I would say JD is above an average QB.- -and yet there is the problem---- - -when is the last time he has been 100 % healthy?
We have seen JD has the wheels to be a pretty decent runner- - the thing is we haven’t been able to see it a lot these last couple of years as the staff has taken that out a lot of the time because I think they was being careful of re-injury- -I think to careful.
The kid has a cannon for an arm , true he might not of made or has not made the best of decisions some times making costly mistakes throwing to double coverage or just blatant poorly thrown balls , but then again I have seen myself for sure anyways and know others have too where he displayed unbelievable throws and actions. I can’t remember who it was against-- I guess my old timers disease is kicking in but he threw for what ?–like 450 some yards and six TD’S in one game or a combination run/pass for six—it was in the Bowl game or against Texas- -something like that. – - -That to me is better then a good High School QB and it’s better then an average College QB.
You mentioned about him being mentioned in the early Heisman, ya he was and rightfully so up until the point when he got hurt. Our W-L record up until the time he got hurt , and I know you saying you care about the stats but the record AND his stats don’t lie UP UNTIL the time he got hurt, the record and stats proved he deserved to be mentioned in the early Heisman talk
Yet I respect your opinion , at least you can have decent exchange of opinions without like some just having a vendetta and wearing out and using the same old BS on people/players & I appreciate that with you. - -We can go tit for tat and it’s all good
For me, I think it’s going to be very interesting year, I think our program has came a long ways and JD has had plenty to do with that. Could he be better ?- -Of course and I think if he is 100 % and under Z’s creative offensive play calling we WILL see JD’s running more with option and he also will let it fly passing --Looking forward to this Season
-
I’m glad he’s coming back although I hope the youngster waiting gets some good opportunities to play as well. New OC will be the wildcard although the word on the street is Lance hired a very good one.
-
@wissox Actually I believe the new OC was just hired from within , has been the QB Coach and actually he was the one calling the offense when Jason Bean led us to our bowl win when Jalen was hurt? - -So JF knows him but hasn’t had any snaps under center with Coach Z calling plays…
JD should still be familiar with him and should be able to catch on pretty fast.-- If JD-6 can’t go , mercy I would love to see Isiah get his shot, all I’ve heard and seen some og his game film looks really good j. Think he is a little fester then JD --great arm
