Interesting comment from Jack Allison

That is very interesting. I know a coach over here who spent time as the athletic coordinator of 2 middle schools in a wealthy area, and every year he would have multiple kids who had been getting private QB training since they were pretty young kids. QB camps/clinics/services are huge money makers. I like the thought of Jack having a lot of untapped potential waiting to be found.

I'm telling u know whether it's 3-4 years as the starter Jack Allison will be the QB that leads us back to glory... He has IT, he has every intangible and he's a straight up dude... Cool guy, talked couple times through social media and maybe it's personal bias but I think he breaks a few records here.. And his Ability to use his legs are underrated if he has to run HE WILL RUN, unlike Kaaya unfortunately... Kaaya is a **** good QB but Allison will achieve more team success (ACC championships, playoff appearances and I think he wins a title) I really do.. This guy has 1-2 years to learn, bulk up and get accustomed to college which is a crazy transition especially for athletes.. Always seemed like he played with a chip on his shoulder when I saw him at camps and he'll be ELITE becuz of it..
 
He's not even close to being for the mean streets, which his comment would imply. His family is middle class, so take that comment with a grain of salt. He's not lacking for anything, but just wants more.

He comes into a perfect situation. Kaaya said he's staying 2 more, kid doesn't have to be thrown to the wolves right away. 2 years ofcoaching from Richt and watching Brad go about business will do this kid wonders. Gonna be a monster here.

Did Brad really say that?

Yes he did. I believe something along the lines of I look forward to the next two years with Coach Richt.

That's all well and good until the advisory board tells him he's a 1st round pick. I wouldn't bank on his statement holding. With all of these kids it's year to year

We'll see how it plays out
 
It all boils down to accuracy with him. He's got the tools and the attitude. But if he can't drastically improve his accuracy he'll wash out.

Don't sleep on Shirrefs.
 
Richt has the pedigree with QBs, be good to start stacking them at the position again.

Obviously Kaaya would be a fool to stay his senior season if he is a projected top 10 pick. And looking at who the qbs will be in the 2017 draft, it's looking like he will be.
All he has to compete with it looks like is Deshaun Watson and Gunner Kiel (lol). Kaaya will be getting a lot of hype this year as a top draft pick.
The 2017 QB class isn't looking strong at all. The 2016 class isn't amazing, but it's way better than this next one.

Who are some of the other humble beginnings, hungry, and lacking a quarterback coach we have to look to that had success as a basis of comparison?

Jacory.

If you don't like that one, how about Bryan Fortay?

Really just a matter of curiosity.

I am no college coach, but it seems to me it would be more valuable to spend the early years watching tape and memorizing the playbook than learning the fundamentals you missed because you came in hungry with no professional development.

Can't tell if he is pointing this out as a pro, con or merely something of interest frankly, but people sure seemed to jump on it as if it something of value which I am not sure it necessarily is. I wouldn't use this factor alone as an indicator of likely success or failure because there are too many variables, but we should probably temper expectations for at least a couple of years once he is on campus. The game and its pressures are about to take a serious step up for him and whether the things he didn't have coming up end up being something he can overcome, or a major shortcoming makes me a bit uncomfortable.
 
Ay that TD celebration w Mullins was all I needed to see. My man did a ferocious, and in sequence Dab! Made me say MY NINJA when I saw it. Savage-esq!

I may be wrong, but I think when it's said and done he'll have a better career here than Kaaya. This is due in part to Kaaya having two wasted years under Golden.

His comment doesnt imply that at all

In an interview at the UA game, somebody asked Jack Allison what sets him apart. He said, "I don't come from a lot, so football is my way out."

The comment struck me because it goes against the trend. In recent years, it seems a disproportionate amount of quarterback recruits come from money. For example, our last two quarterbacks (Brad Kaaya and Stephen Morris) both came from very well-off households. There are countless other examples throughout the country.

These kids have abundant resources to develop from a young age. Not coincidentally, a market has emerged for private quarterback coaches. Allison's background may help explain why he's more of a raw, unpolished talent than his competitors.

Can't forget to add Baby Jesus to that list, even though he didn't pan out. The financial background of a player is not a direct indicator of on-field success or failure, our current QB is a perfect example of that. But, I must say that humble beginnings can serve as fuel to an immense determination that usually pushes talented players to elite levels.
