Officially Pursuing Grad Transfer Tyree Jackson

I'm a proponent of the idea that you can't coach accuracy. I said it a million times last off season when posters suggested that Malik Rosier would be able to get his completion percentage over 55. However, the big difference between Jackson and Rosier is that Rosier was completing a low percentage of passes in an offense that didn't feature much down field throwing. It's one thing to throw for 55% when you're chucking it 20 yards downfield, it's another thing to have a low percentage when a majority of your throws are within ten yards of the LOS.

For example: Jacory Harris went from a <60% passer with a ton of interceptions under Mark Whipple to a 65% percent passer with far less picks under Jedd Fisch. It wasn't that he was all of the sudden more accurate, he just wasn't asked to chuck the ball down field as much.

First of all let's get one thing straight.Jackson AIN'T my boy.If you go back and read my post I said WHETHER IT'S JACKSON OR WHOEVER ELSE THEY MIGHT BRING IN.I could care less who they bring in but they need to bring in someone.I doubt whoever the OC turns out to be will guarantee the starting job to ANYONE.it will be up to the person to compete and take the job from Williams.
And if you're good with this QB room we have here you are the only one including any OC that get's hired.We WILL NOT be going into next season with two QB's that have never played a down one of which loves weed as much or more that football and another kid who in limited duty has looked mediocre at best who also can't seem to stay out of trouble.
As I said in my original post ( which you seem to be unable to comprehend) we need to bring someone in to compete that has some kind of experience.We can't go in with what we have on the roster.

So, if we won't go into next year with an unexperienced QB, when will we? Sooner or later an underclassmen QB has to play. You can't build a program on grad transfers. That's the bottom line. It makes no sense to sit the young QBs if you even think they're willing to sit behind a mercenary that has no vested ties to the program. At least one and maybe two QBs will transfer at the end of Spring if a grad transfer takes the QB job. That's the reality. You can choose to believe it or not.

There is no free lunch. You can't bring in a grad transfer in 2019 and think the 2020 starter will play well without any game experience from the prior year. The bottom line is that the learning curve for a QB has to take place in meaningful games.

Like one of my favorite artist says in her song "All About Me", "Take care of the family that you came with!!!"
 
If Williams or Perry aren't good enough to beat out a journeyman grad transfer, do we really want them on the team anyway? I mean if they're the goods, one of them will win the starting job. Jake Heaps wasn't gifted the starting job when he transferred and Brad Kaaya wasn't scared of competing with him.

This kid is extremely raw with high physical upside but then again.................this is why actually having a QB coach with merit is important.

Lost me at average arm strength. He has one of the strongest arms in college football.

He’s not perfect by any means, but arm strength is the reason NFL scouts are watching him.

Interesting - I'll have to rewatch b/c it didn't pop off the few highlights I did see. Maybe it was the throwing motion that threw me off.

If he posted the numbers he had this year as the QB on our team we are at worst 10-2 and playing in a New Year’s Day bowl. I would venture to say 11-1.. Let’s not over analyze his numbers and ability.

LOL. He posted pretty much the same numbers that had everyone ready to kill Rosier as a junior. Jackson would have faced LSU in game one, **** himself thoroughly, then we’d have seen the same horseshyt we saw all year. Rick was done. Everyone knew exactly what we were doing on every pass play and just sitting on it. No average QB, which Jackson is, was going to overcome Rick’s deep incompetence.

I like big QBS with big arms. If josh Allen was turned into an NFL player this kid can do so too with the right coaching.

Josh Allen sucks dyck. He’s the type of looks like Tarzan plays like Jane guy that makes a spectacular throw then gives the ball away. You guys get too obsessed with a big arm and height.

Man, that's what I have been preaching forever. I'd take a 55% guy that is hitting passes downfield over a 60% guy that can't.

Also, I watched the highlights from one game, and this dude attempted, and hit, more passes over the middle than Rosier ever attempted in all his games. There was no part of the field he didn't try to throw to. Rosier, and Perry to a lesser extent, looked like parts of the field were completely off limits. A D simply can not have their job made that easy.
