Areas where Jefferson MUST improve

I know he's still relatively young (age wise), and he could grow into a very good QB, but I'm just not seeing the intangibles.

(1) "Feel" for the position - this is directly related to all the clock management issues. Only so much of this can be blamed on Miles/Crowton. He has to control the game from on the field. He should know when the clock is running, how to line up his guys, etc.

(2) Consistent accuracy - he has a decent completion percentage, but how many of those throws were put in a place where the WR could run after the catch? He also has a tendency to gun the ball when he should throw with touch. Still wildly inconsisent with accuracy over 20 yards.

(3) Quick release - his throwing motion is still way too long, and DBs can break on the ball too soon. I will be very disppointed if this isn't addressed this Spring.

(4) Anticipation of pass routes - At this level of football, you MUST throw before the receiver is open. He just doesn't do it often enough. Look at the Arkansas game. He had Tolliver open several times (once in the endzone) and failed to release. Perhaps Billy Gonzales will help with this...

Unless the above improvements are made....

Jefferson + 3rd & Chavis = another year of getting dominated in Time of Possession. And we'll average about 310 yds/game again.
