Did the coaches want to keep him at QB, or was JF3 resistant to moving positions or maybe both? We as posters could clearly see QB was not the answer. He and Trovon Reed are the most frustrating players for me missing out on their potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Trovon Reed are the most frustrating players for me missing out on their potential. To me we weren't good either way and even with our other QB we couldn't win unless the run game was going so just put him in at QB and run a bunch of option stuff. We couldn't ever get a first that was longer than 3rd and 5 anyway....spread out attempts between him Johnson and petway....did we have tuitt then as well? We should've almost look like g tech, but I'm talking something like west Virginia when they had Slayton and Pat white, or like Navy did a couple of years Hell swapping QB's to pass....we pretty much give our plays away player substitutions anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he did switch, he bolted for Kiffen who originally promised him a QB try. After Kiffen said to switch to WR, he listened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is lucky he has speed or I doubt he is in the league today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the personnel for a fast offense if we just identified it and ran it. The WV Rich Rod days is a good call. Of course Pat could throw the darn ball as well. Beating WV that year was one of the more memorable victories in the past decade for me. They were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played an actual NFL game yet. His speed is why I personally think teams keep giving him chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Dude is the only player I recall to ever play all 4 years of eligibility at 4 different schools. I don’t think we mismanaged him at all. He is a burner without a position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
