Mett did great things with his arm, the best passer on campus since the JaMarcus/Rohan Davey years but his lack of mobility killed us too often.

We'll get a glimpse of AJ's arm come Jan 1 I hope, please Les don't be conservative in this game, and hopefully his mobility offsets the lack of sheer arm strength Mett brought to the table.

With our still suspect OL pass blocking, AJ should be the right guy especially with a Fornette to hand off to at any given time.

I think its a non subject. AJ's wheels are a big plus obviously. But even as strong as metts arm is, I don't think they are giving up anything with AJ. Sure mett has
a stronger arm, but I don't think its a difference maker in what plays are called.

I hope and pray for AJ to do very well but people vastly underestimate the talents of the Mettsiah. Next year will be a definite step back in the passing game.

Haven't seen enough of Jennings to know just how good he is or will be, but if he can make at least 90% of the passes Mett made this season along with being able to run the ball, they will be in good shape, and i believe CC will have him ready.

Mett has the stronger arm, no doubt. Not many QBs can throw that 17 yard out from the far hash on a rope like he can. But Mett trusted his arm too much at times, and made some late decisions because of it. If Jeenings can get the ball out on time, we won't see too much drop off.

AJ is pass first. Watch some film and don't jump to conclusions. He CAN run. That doesn't mean he can't pass...
