Coming out of high school, he was ranked as one of Rivals top 10 Pro-Style QBs. Somewhere along the way, Crowton decided that he was a taller Michael Vick and that he should be a scrambling QB. In reality, JJ is a pocket passer with mobility. I want to believe the new system will help him but hes still fundamentally flawed. Throwing at receivers feet, over throws the deep ball, can't pick up a blitz or check down off his first receiver. we can hope Krags can fix him though right?

He's at his worst while in the pocket, I dont care what he was ranked coming out of HS.

Let's just hope Mett is given every possible chance to win this job in the spring

OC providing:

Good instruction
Quality gameplan
Attention to detail
Timely play calling
Willingness to stick with whatever is working



will ALL help the qb (whoever that may be)


I think JJ will do well....as will Mett

It is more suited to him. . .but it suits Mett better.

It's a new competition now. Mett has to like his chances with a new OC that doesn't have anything invested in the other 2 guys.

Based on Krag's history, I would not be surprised to see J. Lee start against Oregon. And throw for 400 yards and win the game.

Hopefully, Mett will replace JJ and that definitely favors Mett.

No...

Dude lacks mechanics. He has no footwork, release or accuracy. He needs to keep himself moving, that is usually where he hurts a defense. I don't expect the offense to change much with him in the game. He'll mostly be sitting in Shotgun, IMO.

If he is doing drop back passes, I expect a lot of rollouts, which IMO, allow a defense to play one side of the field much easier. He better learn some accuracy though and shorten his release, otherwise you won't be seeing him do many short drops with quick passes. That is why I don't think the offense changes much with him in...he would have to show substantial improvement in his mechanics this offseason.
