who will be the number 2 qb at T day?

If our pass blocking improves, Josh will show you what he can do throwing the ball. If it doesn't, you can forget the passing game, regardless of who is throwing the rock.

You guys are crazy that think Jaybo is a better passer. Many of Josh's "inaccurate" passes were plays that Jaybo would have been sacked on.

It is hard to say, but your point really doesn't refute the idea.

We have one game with Jaybo where we know he was accurate "enough" to exploit a team that sold out on the pass.

Josh missed quite a few open receivers downfield, either not seeing them or not getting them the ball.

It is somewhat of a moot point as Jaybo wasn't exactly Joe Montana either. But he was able to get it close enough to wide open receivers.

And yes, QB accuracy is not an issue if they don't have time to throw.

I see where you're coming from, but if you go back and watch the Duke game you will see that only "1" of the 9 completions was thrown "downfield". The other 8 competions were hitches or screens. The "1" downfield pass was a duck thrown into double coverage that Bebe made a Calvin type catch (defenders fell down) and Bebe took it to the house. I would not say Jaybo is a better passer based on the Duke game.

Lonestar, you can't honestly tell you would have rather had Jaybo in the game in passing situations at anytime during the season when Josh was healthy. There's no way you can honestly say that.

bingo!!!
 
This comparison makes little sense. Josh with 2 bad ankles and a groin injury learned the offense and performed at a much higher level than Jaybo. Josh hit Bebe deep about 5 times than ended up in drops. FSU/LSU/Miami/Clemson games stand out.

Yes. He missed some throws. It's bound to happen if you spend the first half of your "read" counting free DL heading your way.

I'm thankful we got through last year with 9 wins. We had a lot of lucky breaks with off weeks and weak opponents. The schedule sets up for a brutal 11 weeks. We'll need Jaybo and even Tevin before the season is over. I am hoping the entire offense grows.
 
I'll wait until I see a live practice in pads. Was Tevin going against the third team D? Was he playing with the third team O?
If he does beat Jaybo, then we'll have a helluva backup on our hands.
 
Nesbitt and Washington looked like the best QB's on Friday and Saturday, FWIW. They both made lots of plays.

This was somewhat due to the botched snaps that occurred with him, which doesn't necessarily mean he isn't the better QB (than Washington). However it is an issue that he will have to deal with and could bust him down to 3rd string.

That's my biggest concern about Jaybo. He dropped lots of snaps last year as well.

Yeah, and its been an issue for the first 4 practices.

Ive been to every single practice, except for Wednesday....and Jaybo fumbled snaps in every single practice.

Im confident he will get that fixed though. It will be a battle for #2 QB.
 
I'm thrilled that there is even a battle for #2!

Tevin looked rough in summer last year.

Its so refreshing to see that our staff can develop a QB!

That's an excellent thing to point out. QB development can often be the weak point of a coaching staff.
 
A bunch of yall called me crazy for saying Tevin would take the #2 spot. I just didn't think he'd had enough time figuring out the system last year.

Bandit, I can watch that JD clip in your sig just time and time again. JD reminds me of Earl Campbell in that clip. Amazing run.

beej, several of us were agreeing with the notion that Tevin might take the spot. He still has to do so, but he's got a good chance to do it. You could see in fall scrimmages last year how much athleticism he had even not knowing the offense at all. The young man is going to play somewhere.
