TJ Finley will Emerge as our # 2 QB

The kid looks good in early practices with a cannon, quick release, and showing accuracy. Reminds me of Jamarcus Russell 2.0 - the college version.

Weird, all the things I've read/heard say he's wildly inaccurate and that Max Johnson looks a lot better than him.

The one drill I watched yesterday made it seem like his accuracy is a work in progress.
With the proper development he has all the natural talent to take the reigns one day.

Nah, Max Johnson looks like he will be #2 and possibly challenge Brennan for the starting role.

Max Johnson feels like the dude for #2 this year. TJ seems like it'll take him a little time to develop and Max is more ready now. We'll see who looks better in the Spring Game.
ETA: Do we know what's up with Peter Parrish yet? Is he gone?

You dont seem to understand football very well

The couple of people who I know at all of the practices indicate that his arm and over athleticism is impressing coaches. He was hyped Day 1 early but has settled down and his upside is bigger than Johnson.

It's certainly early, but he has all the tools. If he can work on his accuracy, I could see it.
Didn't look great in the drills I saw, but that's just a snapshot of one day.

The practice video I saw showed him to be the least accurate of the QBs, with sloppy footwork. He air mailed the ball over the net in one drill from about 10 yards. He was spraying the ball around for the most part. I think it is more than “needs a little work.”

based off the little practice video of them i came to this conclusion too

Does not mean he is the #2. Means the coaches like his ability. The QB from a couple of years ago that went JUCO and ended up at UTSA also had a cannon and great athleticism that coaches were impressed with.
This is not to trash TJ, I think he has great potential but he is not there yet.

I always see a lot of Jamarcus comparisons to Finley, but JR was in a much different spot as a Freshmen with his mechanics. As big as he was, everything was quiet. Finley has a lot of moving parts, starting with his feet.

needed a redshirt year, then had to work thru an up and down 50% completion RS freshman year (and a somewhat mediocre if not more consistent Soph year) before he worked his way up to star status.

Don’t get me wrong, TJ is 18 years old and raw. He is getting top notch coaching now, and is no way ready - neither is Max. We can only pray that Myles stays healthy because I don’t want to rely on 2 true freshman to lead the team this year. Only saying that TJ has the tools that need to be cultivated.

Jamarcus just wrist flipped it. It was so beautiful.
