Barry Jackson had an article last night and mentions that Beard said on Saturday JoJo struggled coming back from "injuries and a concussion"

Sounded like there was alot going on throughout the season....

So you and TouchMonkeys26 are going to make this a referendum on "smoking weed". Hilarious.

Read what I wrote (and am reiterating) and explain why you tried to claim that JoJo's early season struggles were "because he couldn't practice due to a concusion" instead of "he suffered a concussion when himself and at least one football player who was kicked off the team were driving around high and had an accident which caused the concussion".

It's always so convenient how you and TouchMonkeys try to separate the smoking from the car accident. The two things happened at the same time, which is a crime. I feel bad about JoJo's concussion, but that's how it went.

i know plenty of people that smoke weed and have been doing it for years and never had no kind of accident because they were smoking. I don’t know anyone and never heard of anyone having an accident because of weed. I used to smoke myself and never had any issues driving while doing so.

But anyway the point is people was wondering why he wasn’t playing early in the season. Don’t care how it occurred or what he was smoking. It wasn’t football reasons

I was a big proponent of this kid. Still tons of upside for him. Tough competing against Restrepo and Toney.

Weed can absolutely impair you, especially if you're a young buck without years of experience doing normal life on the herb.

Good for you for being such a well-behaved weed smoker that it hasn't impacted your life. I also know people who swear that alcohol causes them to drive BETTER, but that doesn't change the fact that driving under the influence of either of those substances is illegal.

"Don't care how it occurred or what he was smoking". Sure. But the law cares. Cops care. Judges care. UM administrators care.

You can always spot a complete dip**** who doesn't understand how life works. You can actually be disciplined by a university for the kind of behavior just described.

"It wasn't football reasons". Yeah, that's not a defense here. JoJo and Markeith are lucky that the situation wasn't worse than it actually was.

Nobody EVER said that JoJo missed the early part of the season for "football reasons". It was ALWAYS alluded to as an off-field transgression. But he made plenty of on-field "football reasons" mistakes when he WAS able to play. So, you know, double-whammy.

Not excuses, just fans wanting to get the best out of our players, we couldn't with brashad Smith either

Even cam ward was super "high" on jojo

Hope he comes back and dials in but he's throwing in the white flag or we are, either way we are fine at wr, thankfully

Alcohol and weed are not the same. That was a terrible comparison

In HS his elite trait was his catching ability. Very natural hands and ability to make tough acrobatic catches.

Came to UM, and then struggled with drops.

Who knows the reason, concentration, work ethic, etc. But that wont work.

I thought it was the other way around. He was elite at everything but didn’t have the best hands.. even to the point that his best position might be DB.. I could be completely wrong

For the people saying move to DB, I’d like to hear why? Not that I disagree. I’m just curious what you all see that leads you that way. I had the same thought. Basically just a passing thought while watching him block, he doesn’t seem stiff, and seemingly was willing to do whatever to make a play. Seems to me he tried to hard at times. Maybe the position swap would give the reset he needed over transferring.

He boxes out when catches it . He uses his body like a good db to make the Catch he keeps the defender from getting to the ball . He played db In highschool too
