i liked how he executed the read option. great read on that first 3rd down.
key to developing him as a passer is putting his playmakers in the right positions, getting the ball out quickly and efficiently.

It was beautiful to see Dural move and keep his eyes on Jennings when Jennings rolled out on that first touchdown. Great hookup right there, and the pass was freaking gorgeous.

Unless he's on the move, Jennings doesn't really throw a catchable ball. It's the finer parts of the position of quarterback he really needs to master. Overall, his performance was just good enough. Which is a good way to wind up falling short against better opponents.
As for Harris, dude took 3 snaps and one of which his OL totally whiffed and hung him out to dry. How anyone can blame Harris for that is beyond me.

yea, nice touch from jennings on what was an awkward throw to make, but dural did exactly what they coach you up to do

He played with heart and never gave up.
The conservative play calling doesn't work for him, he's wants to sling it and is not good at dump offs.

Metts stat line game 1 last year was very similar. Not worried about Jennings at all, yet

Look, AJ had a few big plays that skewed his stats. I give him credit for his good throws, but I didn't think he played well overall.
So what you are saying is we should take all big plays out of qb stats because they made him look good. In the line of thinking Johnny Football and Winston are average qbs because their big plays shouldn't count because it just padded their statlines.
Where do you idiots get this shite?

less than mediocre completion percentage, no major mistakes, a few spectacular plays that make the stats look decent, and an ugly win
I'm sorry, but I didn't see that win last night as "ugly". Wisconsin hit us in the mouth, staggered us for 2&1/2 quarters, and we responded with body blows till we put them on their back. Maybe not pretty, but damn sure not ugly.
It's amusing how a few days can change the thoughts of some. I'm thinking if I came to this forum Friday and asked how many would take/be happy with/ accept 240 yds passing, 2 TDs, and no ints from Jennings 95% would have taken it while saying no freaking way we get that from Jennings.
This morning and last night we hearing passing percentage or he "sucked" or "ugly" win.
We had what we could call 3 O big players of the game and Jenning was one of them...pretty or not. imo

They're called outliers. Yes, he made two big throws to Dural (one was on a scramble with busted coverage) and I give him credit for those, but when analyzing statistics, you've got to consider those. Also, the Diarse TD was a good throw, but Diarse turned it into a long TD, but it shows up in Jennings stats.
Just be honest when looking at stats. You can't always take them at face value.

Diarse doesn't have any numbers in his stay column?
You basically downplaying any positive thing Jennings did and gave credit to the WR.
How is that objective?

How do you think mett would have done against Wisconsin with the same offensive line?
I'm thinking not very good

Part of his job is pointing that blitz out.

240 yards passing, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Five of seven in the second half when the game was on the line. Why can't we take those stats at face value?
The kid had an overall good game. Why can't some just except that without trying to find so way to discredit it.

His high trajectory passes scare the bejeebers out of me. There's a time for touch passes, and it's not when your man is tightly covered deep downfield.
That's exactly the time for it. WTF are you talking about? You want to put air under it and let your receiver use his two big advantages - he sees the ball first and he benefits from pass interference rules.

Go rewatch the game, and time Jennings. A lot of times (especially in the first half) he's still got the ball after 3 seconds. That's a pretty long time.
Some of those pressures, the interior pocket has held up, but Jennings inner clock (which Mett lacked) goes off, and he started moving around without needing to. A couple times he rolled right into the pressure.
Mettenberger playing at last year's level would have shredded that defense. He was at the point to where he would make his drop, plant and release the throw. That, in turn, would have opened up the run game.
I trust that Cameron will teach him. He'll be fine.

That's a pretty polarizing and biased statement considering that ball was thrown before Diarse even made his cut and was at least a 25 yard throw across the hash marks. Diarse turned it into a TD, but that ball was perfectly thrown, on time, and with velocity.

Thursday I watched the Vanderbilt game. Rivers looked good with no line and no receivers. Now after watching that I assumed that these 2 quarterbacks would be great. Jennings was OK at times but other times he looked confused. I was thinking why does he keep throwing the ball deep. I just don't see it in him but hopefully he will prove me wrong

You know what's better than stats? Watching the game. His decisions, ball placement, velocity, and timing.. they were all pretty much what we need.
I can only think of 2-3 bad throws by Jennings all night. At least two of them came on screens with defenders in his face.

Jennings didn't have two NFL WRs and an NFL running back to get the ball to. Beckham Jr and Landry were fricking legit.
