our QB was bad


This is my problem with this argument. I don't think it's that cut and dried. If Jalen was just a flat out bad QB there's no way we win the SEC last season, dethroning the defending back to back champs, and come within a play of winning the Natty (because let's be real if we beat Michigan we would have beaten Washington).

I think people on here are calling him bad because he's not an elite QB. And that's fine because he's not. Maybe DeBoer can get him there maybe not. But just because he's not elite doesn't make him bad. He played some really good football at times last year. He also made some really stupid mistakes. It's more nuanced than just saying he sucks and will never get better.

"Bad" might have been a bit strong, overall. He was bad at some aspects though.

However, wins are not a QB stat.
