Top Ten nationally in passer rating (P5)

[JD08]

Just need to make sure he has protection and targets. No worries at all about the QB spot.

JW15 made me a believer this week, Im officially on the train! He has improved tremendously and deserves some respect #salute!

Jarren Williams rating is 164.83. Good for 9th in the country. Better than:

Everybody in the god**** country except for Fields, Tua, Hurts, Burrow, Lawrence, Morgan, Huntley, and White.

The kid has things he can improve on. He’s not a finished product. He didn’t look ready early in the year. But if you can’t appreciate that this kid is a good player, that he’s improving, that there is serious potential here, and that he’s looking more and more like a legit upper echelon college QB every week, then you’re completely clueless, a hater, or probably both.

Even more impressively, all while we're 128th in the NCAA in 3rd down conversion %.

The staff will look back at pulling Jarren vs VT as a huge mistake. Unless he was truly hurt that bad he should have been starting vs GT and Pitt.

Dude he was clearly hurt, he had no zip on any of the balls and was prob in pain and telegraphed the throws...

 

[Canestomp]

Against very weak competition. When we play any team with a pulse on defense we can’t move the ball.

Like Urban Meyer stayed, a kid has to do it in big games and not against cupcakes

I like what I see so far but these stats are meaningless if we can’t do them against good competition

And you wonder why you are never treated as equals and your threads get blown up.

Don't get me wrong. I like Williams but before I crown him, I need to see him do it against elite competition

Trollet Water, all those qbs have played weak teams. Go flush yourself.

 

[cf3000]

He's making the deep throws, and hitting the receiver in stride. I thought this was his weak spot.

 

[canecat]

All of those guys have had protection. This just goes to show how well Jarren plays and Enos coaches when the OL protects.

Bingo. I love our Qb and really like our OC . I am not judging him during the Perry games as flat out Perry can't make the throws a OC needs to be successful in a passing offense. I liked his calls in the first 5 games but the OL was soo bad. Now they are maturing his calls looks better dont they?

Looks like your comment is getting a ton of responses.. Here's mine:


I think Williams getting pulled is part of the maturation process, especially for a young QB.

 

[MIA42178]

They never should of played him in that game due to his shoulder . SO no you are incorrect. He threw 3 int due to not having a good shoulder . No the mistake they made was not starting him vs Pitt but he saved the day. He had to miss games like VT and GT due to health.

He should’ve sat as soon as he ran off field w separated shoulder vs CMU.

 

[A1cane]

That is the true company he should be keeping . He is a truly elite QB in terms of talent. Completes a great % doesnt throw Int and can use both his arm and and his legs to get first downs.

You never know maybe him getting benched was good for him maybe it made him work harder because this last 2 games have been electric and you can tell he was injured his ball lacked zipp and was late.

 

[miamifan007]

1. Jalen Hurts (OU)
2. Tua Tagovaiola (Alabama)
3. Joe Burrow (LSU)
4. Tanner Morgan (Minnesota)
5. Justin Fields (OSU)
6. Tyler Huntley (Utah)
7. Trevor Lawrence (Clemson)
8. Jarren Williams (Miami)
9. Justin Herbert (Oregon)
10. Anthony Gordon (Washington St.)

Pretty good company. Enos deserves the heat he has gotten at OC (still 73rd in yards per play) but he is living up to his reputation as a QB coach.

QB and OC go hand in hand though. Enos is looking like a better OC because we're executing the plays and vice versa.

Enos isn't Norm Chow but then again he doesn't have Leinhart, Bush etc.

We moved the ball well against the Gators when JW wasn't planted on his ***.

I think your wrong on that. He obviously wasn’t right. He should have been pulled earlier. Doesn’t the benefit of hindsight prove it?

The Mallory TD he made a nice move to buy a bit more time. If he had waited any longer it would have been a sack.
He got crushed on the first big TD to Wiggins. He just got that pass off.

Can't wait to see Jarren continue to develop chemistry and trust with Mallory. I think it will benefit both of them. Early in the game, Mallory was wide open down the seam as soon as the ball was snapped, with a deep safety far behind him. Easily a 20+ yard completion, if not a TD on that play. Jarren waited though, watching JT, and tried to force the ball to JT instead, for an incompletion. Once Williams starts seeing Mallory as a primary target and not a check down, it can really open things up.

I didn’t realize the injury wasn’t healed up enough to play vs. GT and most of Pitt. My wrong assumption led to a less informed take. They put Jarren in for a minute vs GT so I didn’t realize he was that badly hurt

Mallory hasn’t done himself any favors but I mean that kid is just a nightmare matchup waiting to happen. Wiggins was the same way and you see him now starting to put it together and how dangerous he is.

With our OL struggling there isn’t much room for a TE that can’t block at this stage but hopefully that changes

When Mallory was recruited he was sold on being Njoku split out wide slot to Brevin's Herndon type role. That was the type of offense we had, I actually commend Mallory to be self aware that he needed to play that role because he just isnt an inline TE, atleast not with alot of redshirt type work or something. Dude gets abused in there.

In addition to the injury, Jarren has displayed maturity issues. I like the journey he has taken because he has seen some adversity.

It was said during the broadcast of the Pitt game that he didn’t start the game due to not taking his prep seriously during the week. That was brutal to hear, but it looks like he’s taking things seriously now.
