bigbird 60,580 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Spring practice is where you should struggle. It's where you weed out. Don't look at it as necessarily a bad thing. Think of it as opportunity to improve and separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keesler 5,928 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 How did it get this bad?! And how long will it take for it to get better? Good freaking question. It damn sure wasn't "reported" to be this bad in spring last year. Now we have guys (Qbs) with an extra year of training, developing and experience under their belts and to hear the practice reports, you'd think JJ & SW have regressed drastically to the point that a newbie (JF3) 2nd string JUCO Qb could take the starting position from them. I'm happy to hear that JF3 has speed, but there's no way he knows the playbook, feels comfortable with his fellow players, or even has a clue what it takes to manage an offense in live action against the SEC's elite defensive packages.

alexava 6,973 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 My question would be. Did JJ really do well last spring or did we all just expect and hope him to do well and accept coach speak. He couldn't have regressed that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,928 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 My question would be. Did JJ really do well last spring or did we all just expect and hope him to do well and accept coach speak. He couldn't have regressed that much. I think to know the answer to that question we'd have to ask the posters on here that attended practices and scrimmages last spring AND this spring. We all hear coach speak and Gus has said that both JJ & SW are much improved since the end of the season. Yet we get information from posters on this very board that say neither has done anything special, and are still making mistakes, afraid of contact, aren't accurate, etc.We heard glowing reports last spring and I for one believed them. Now we are hearing that a 2nd string JUCO Qb weighing in at 180 pounds with lightening speed who has zero SEC game experience and is green to the playbook could take the starting job from our the QBs that were doing so well last spring? There's no way JJ regressed that much with another year under his belt and live game action ~ there's no way SW regressed to the point that he can't manage a freaking scrimmage.

AU Ivory_dealer 2 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 You fellas need to start believing in the Easter bunny. You are on some gooooooood stuff with the assumptions after scrimmage ONE..

What did we disagree like three months ago and your feelings are hurt lol. Am I supposed to remember you or something? Say my name why? I and others on the board know why it's easy to throw rocks back at you lol You sling the rocks my friend. I know its fun to throw, run, then play the victim from time to time.

It's looking like Gus and Lashlee are going to be unemployed in 8.5 months. Next time we have a good season, how do we keep this type of meltdown from happening again? What is it with leap years?

lionheartkc 6,150 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 My question would be. Did JJ really do well last spring or did we all just expect and hope him to do well and accept coach speak. He couldn't have regressed that much. Considering that all of the independent analysts who witnessed practices also gave stellar reviews and were talking Heisman (of course, that was in Fall camp, not Spring), I have to believe, in Jeremy's case, that if he's not showing well, this year, then he's still in his head from last season. Of course, it could have also been a reflection of where our D was at the time. Remember, our D made mediocre QBs look like world beaters for the first half of the season.

He couldn't have regressed that much. If JJ (and the other QBs) were always hands off/not live during every practice and scrimmage last spring and last fall and did not have to worry about being hit then I can see why they looked better last spring than this one. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I look up whatever we had an exchange about are you saying it won't have anything to do with SW? But anyway fact of the matter is i didn't say anything to or about you and you're trying to start this up I guess because I said that everybody didn't have to jump on dude and call him names as I thought he was a new poster.

On the contrary, I refrained from expressing my opinion because of the inevitable backlash that would ensue. Tom Lugenbill of ESPN pointed out, in JJ's first spring game, that he looked sloppy, lackadaisical and generally disinterested (or something to that effect). I remember feeling very concerned at that point and thus far, have seen nothing to make me believe he can carry the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling very concerned at that point and thus far, have seen nothing to make me believe he can carry the team. Exactly. I got piled on for trying to discuss the possibilities of those traits you mentioned affecting JJ's work ethic -- which is what Stephen Garcia reported prior to the season and people got really cranky about just the possibility of that being true. We literally knew almost nothing about JJ in true game action minus one tiny sample size of 1 half against Arky where Arkansas prepared for our 2013 option driven offense and people were dismissing the mere idea that maybe he didn't have enough work under his belt to guarantee he would be an all-SEC performer.
