You guys are overreacting. Did Jake have a good game? F no.
Is Jake terrible? Also no. He's our 2nd higest rated QB recruit since 2000....yeah our sample size of him hasn't been the biggest, but watching him play out there and the offense and the struggles are almost identical to TVD's struggles earlier in the season. They both have regressed. It isn't the players, its the coaches, scheme, etc. Ironic that both him and TVD are both now locking onto their 1st read...but for the sample size we do have of him last year, and offseason, he looked fine and had better mechanics and release than TVD. You really think the product he put out there is representative of him as a player? Obviously he was rattled, got hit too many times and had happy feet. He was also in his own head about all the interceptions he threw last game. It's a lot to ask to run Gattis' garbagio scheme and also to have your 1st start on the road. It hits different. To me that part is obvious, idk about you.
I'm not even team Jake or anything like that. It's just funny how quickly CIS will turn on a player. Jacurri is a good runner, but his throws scare me as much as Jake's did/do this game. So not sure why anyone would think that he's also a viable option.
Trust me, I'm thoroughly disgusted with the product on the field, but lets say we had Lashlee back, we would have put up 35+ points on that bad Virginia team.
IDK if its Gattis or Ponce, or both, but all signs point to Gattis just based off of playcalling. But something needs to change asap. We need to clean house with the offensive staph sans TE, RB, and OL coaches.
The best hope for the remainder of the season is that we get TVD back asap and overhaul the offensive staph in the offseason.
