Doug Williams often gets overlooked in these conversations, glad to see someone mention him along with Bert Jones and Terry Bradshaw. All had cannons. Jeff George comes to mind, Elway. Stafford and Josh Allen today.

Why did he start JR over Flynn for 1.5 years?

Because they aren’t even in the same ballpark as far as talent. Would you drive a Camry and leave your Lamborghini in the garage?

Yes the frick you do and you can't see his eyes moron. It's like you actually believe you can tell if a qb is only reading half the field. A qb that spread the ball around to both sides of the field. You're letting people that actually know football know that you have no clue what you're talking about.

99% of fans can't tell you what 6 route is on a passing tree let alone actually gauge a qbs prowess from a TV broadcast or in stadium viewing.
You won't find a single lsu fan prior to the draft claiming JRuss would fail in the nfl. Not a single one.

No doubt in arm strength. Freakish how far he could throw the ball.

When they gave JaMarcus a blank tape to see if he would watch it, I knew he was in trouble.

Bro, I don’t know what to tell you. I had multiple friends on the team with Jamarcus that said he couldn’t go through progressions which caused Jimbo to simplify things for him. He was just so talented that he could rely on his physical tools. I’ll believe their opinion and what they were telling me well before yours.

Ok "bro".

Just stop saying he was a half field progression reader as if you know. It makes you sound dumb.

You dont know what his reads are without knowing the play called.



I'll take the words of the coach that touted his ability to take multiple packages to the Los while running a prostyle offense and his wonderlic score,the multiple teams that wanted to draft him first. But hey go ahead and believe your "friends".

I remember he once ran 2 yards out of bounds and then threw the ball away for a big loss


Wouldn’t the play have been dead when he went out of bounds? How did he then throw it for a big loss?

And yet, you’re acting like you knew the playbook by disagreeing with me. I feel confident in saying what I said based on the intel I got from people inside the walls. Don’t really care if I have “Rickdaddy from the rant’s” approval or not.

If he was just defending Jamarcus, then why say this….

He was smart, he carried three and four play packages at the line of scrimmage.”


He could have just been vague and just left it at….

First it was you're watching his eyes and progressions and now it's friends in the program told you.


Your first post was watch his games and you can see half field reads.

That's utter bullshite and anyone that actually knows football should know that statement is utter bullshite.
