re: If AJ doesn't see the field this year, what's the chances he transfers?

Yep, if McMillian is as bright and hard working as I've been told Jennings won't be the #2 by next season
Very much possible but he's going to have to hold off Etling as well. This should also allow Franks to redshirt which would be great.

Highly doubtful. Get off the foolishness. Nice of you to tuck your tail & never come back into that other thread.

I learned from being married that arguing with a hardheaded mfker that never answers the first question asked but dances around with a bunch of ridiculous bs is a waste of my time. Sorry but a pro-style isn't the worlds different from a spread learning wise that you make it out to be. The biggest hurdle is when changing from one to the other not the scheme itself. Learning 3-5-7 drops, **** please don't tell me that takes years of experience

We need an experienced backup. "IF" Harris can play really well we'd have our best QB situation since 07 when Flynn was backed by Perriloux.

Unless he graduates, maybe. If he doesn't, then he'll have to sit out a year and I don't know if he'll do that.
I think he stays.

We forgave AJ for losing the bama game so hopefully he will be loyal if we ask him to stay.

Jennings fan boys
Nah. We're just tired of you dumbasses always thinking that guys are going to transfer simply because they aren't starters. Harris was due to transfer this year. Then Quinn was transferring out (still have that one bookmarked). Now it's going to be Jennings. Some of you jack legs don't know when to stop.

AJ will see considerable playing time during pregame so therefore he will see the field every he time he steps on it

You are a complete retard.
Arizona Cardinals Head Coach & former Steelers OC Bruce Arians:
quote:
"So many times, you're evaluating a quarterback who has never called a play in the huddle, never used a snap count. They hold up a card on the sideline, he kicks his foot and throws the ball," Arians said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "That ain't playing quarterback. There's no leadership involved there. There might be leadership on the bench, but when you get them and they have to use verbiage and they have to spit the verbiage out and change the snap count, they are light years behind."

Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable:
quote:
"I'm not wanting to offend anybody, but college football, offensively, has gotten to be really, really bad fundamentally," Cable told ESPN 710 radio in Seattle. "Unfortunately, I think we're doing a huge disservice to offensive football players, other than a receiver, that come out of these spread systems. The runners aren't as good. They aren't taught how to run. The blockers aren't as good. The quarterbacks aren't as good. They don't know how to read coverage and throw progressions. They have no idea."

Hall of Fame QB Steve Young
quote:
Just after I retired, Michael Vick came in. And just as background, I really thought the position had changed. I thought the dynamic pass-run, triple-threat quarterback was going to take over the league. And guys like Michael Vick and others would follow and that’s what we’d do. But I learned the truth with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. And I knew the truth. I knew the truth, for me, was to deliver the ball from the pocket. To orchestrate and to be a master of the data — from formation, to blitzes, to coverages, just everything. You just master everything. And that master’s program is first of all contingent on a coach that wants to teach it. That doesn’t happen everywhere, so that’s No. 1. No. 2, it takes somebody willing to do the really boring, tedious work that’s most of the time April, May and June. It really is four hours a day in front the chalkboard, film room, going over, over and over and over. And really getting to the point where you have reflexive recall. That’s the goal.

Here's a short video explaining the differences in the two offenses. It's a simple explanation so maybe a mental midget like yourself can understand.

quote:
Footwork
Spread systems do not use much of a drop. On most plays, three steps is the most a quarterback will take during his drop. Even then, because the quarterback is already removed from the line of scrimmage, spread quarterbacks seldom display urgency in their footwork because they have rarely had/have to. Some spread quarterbacks fail to develop the habit of getting their feet under themselves when throwing, while others do not develop a clean flow from read to read. A number of spread quarterbacks have both problems.
Ideally, a spread quarterback will show urgency in his short drops, as well as the ability to move fluidly from one read to the next. No matter what, there will be a major learning curve in the NFL as they go under center more often, but that is the best base to begin with. To apply that to this class, look at Marcus Mariota. Mariota will have to learn a lot about NFL drops and transitions, but he has the urgency and smooth movement. Types like Mariota will have a much easier time transitioning, though it will still be a process.
Reliance on Athleticism
Spread quarterbacks typically love to run the football. Whether by design or by nature, they carry the ball often instead of throw it. Robert Griffin, Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota, Brett Hundley, etc. all relied on their legs as a key weapon in college, often as a bail out. It can be argued that this is their way of finding the best way to win and that football is all about winning in any way that you can, but that style of play does not translate to winning in the NFL. While running to evade rushers and create yards will still have some success in the NFL, that only comes if the quarterback can win from the pocket. Does Russell Wilson rush for over 1,800 yards in three seasons if he is not capable of winning from the pocket and force defenses to stay in coverage? No, he does not.
Not only do these spread quarterbacks get into the groove of not winning with their passing ability, they are putting their bodies on the line. Now, we have seen players get very good at protecting themselves, like Wilson, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck, but too many mobile quarterbacks fail to do this and only hurt themselves.
Field Vision
Spread quarterbacks do not necessarily see the field poorly, but they are trained to have a tunnel vision. On top of that, much of the coverage they face is conservative and allows them to clearly think about where they want to go with the ball pre-snap. In these offenses, quarterbacks are almost always asked to read one defender or an option route based on coverage and throw to that first read. While it looks pretty and is efficient, that sort of success is not translatable to the NFL in the volume that they execute it at in college. For many spread quarterbacks, issues with moving past their first read is evident. With others, it can be masked well by ability to know when to kill the play or move out of the pocket and make a throw from there.

Why don't you actually take the time to read some of these articles in their entirety. Stop going through life & posting being football ignorant. Put some damn knowledge on your brain.

quote:Etling or McMillan will be the back-up if BH comes out of the closet this season and plays at the level that everybody expects him to.
But next year, Franks is the backup to BH for 2 years.
Franks might not even get a snap. True freshman QB's rarely make an impact. He'll probably RS.
If Harris is no big deal in 2015 and we see a two QB system out of neccessity, (With maybe even McMillan getting some snaps) then all bets are of in 2016...............

They're too blind to see it. It's not their fault they can't see.
I've been reading these posts for years now; and never contributed. But now that I am posting; I feel like I need to ask:
"How many different ways can you spin the title of a thread where the only intention is to completely demean one certain person?"
Jesus H. Christ. He's a member on your favorite team. And although hasn't played well; is still a part of YOUR team. Hate one. Hate em all.
And have some respect for yourself.

AJ did not lose the Bama game. He didn't commit an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. He didn't drop the possession retaining pass . . . twice. He didn't kick the ball out of bounds. He didn't let Bama score with 50 seconds left.

It is very doubtful that he is a college qb, much less an nfl one. He and GoodOleLess know they are right where they should be, and not counting West Idaho A&M and Eastern New Mexico Tech ,neither would be considered an upgrade anywhere else

My comment wasn't really meant to be literal. Of course a school would want Jennings, since there are hundreds of colleges that have football teams.
What I meant was him going to a decent power 5 program and expecting to start. Not seeing that.
