I would get sick of sitting on the bench at 3 different schools as an elite level athlete too

Speed sweep, make him the pitch man on an option play, WR screens. Dude is elite level speed. He needs to be on the field.

I saw one play he was in on Saturday where he didn't get his number called to run it in for a TD... He didn't look happy about it.

He threw a dime on that TD pass. Was that a just fluke?

He has arm talent, it's just inconsistent. He may make a throw like that once and then the next play underthrow a guy by ten yards.

Is this JF3 or Nick Marshall?

Give him KJ's wildcat role. That would be a start. There's no reason why we shouldn't be trotting him out there from time to time so can run some reads, or lining him up at WR with something creative. Leaving a lot of big plays and misdirection on the table.

God I hope the coaches don't read this board.

I can just see Gus printing out your post and running to Rhett, screaming about how the people want the twirly bird and we have to give the people what they want.

Judging by literally everything we've seen and heard about him, yes it was a lucky pass. Watch him throw that pass and he might as well be heaving it with his eyes closed in the general direction of the WR.

It was awesome, but he's more likely to miss the WR by 10 yards than he is to hit that pass again

I've only seen him attempt 2 or 3 passes this year.

I think this is one of those things that always sounds good until you try it. We have fast guys running that play and its not working now.

We have plenty of playmakers.

Yep. We waste so many other downs with BS play-calling. Might as well have JF3 in the mix a lot more. Statistically, we might do better in the long run.

We need to make him realize that his skillset does not translate to an NFL QB career. He can be a great asset with the ball in his hands on offense though, in some capacity. Will scare the hell out of defenses with at least the threat for a double pass too.
