I fully expect him to comeback, he really isn't an NFL QB yet in my mind, needs another year with Kelly.


JD WILL NEVER BE AN NFL QB.

That won't change with another year of misreads and run-first mentality. He doesn't have good touch and obviously only throws to wide open receivers.

Love his grit. He just doesn't have it.

Some would have said the same about Burrow through most of his first year with us.

You never know how much a player will grow.

Ah, that's not for certain. Plenty of people were saying the same thing about Jalen Hurts. He's on the brink of being All Pro in the NFL. He was crap at Bama. Won all but a couple games, threw to wide open recievers. Played behind the best Olines. Went to OU and turned into an ELITE QB. And has continues to be one in the NFL. For me, that's a head scratcher every time I see him play.

Burrow didn't look like a #1 NFL pick and top 5 QB in the NFL His Jr year either. frick off, if he comes back and doesn't get beaten out for the QB job he's still the best we have, if that's the case be happy he came back ffs.

I think you are wrong. We saw a ton of progress through the Alabama game, then a regression for Arkansas. He needs to get back on track and keep improving. Based on what we saw so far this year, I think he will.

Next year I expect to see the QB we saw against Alabama, but with a little more accuracy. I think you will also see the deep ball come into play more.

People said he wasn't an SEC QB either, yet here we are a little over a week after he led us to a win over Bama with the SEC West wrapped up. And I seem to recall him throwing a huge TD to Taylor into a tight spot between Bama defenders near the end of regulation.

He clearly still has things to work on like his long balls and making quicker decisions consistently, but considering how much he has improved just over the course of this season, I'm not going to make a ruling on what more time with good coaching might do for him.
