...just off-season Tylenol so we don't worry about
JJ being our starter next year? Or is he legit? He wasn't the starter at East Mississippi.

After the JJ debacle, I am numb.

Just hoping passes go forward, and preferably not to the other team.

I think he'll be okay. Better than what we've had, but worse than Nick Marshall.

Well he transferred there in the middle of summer and they already had a returning QB.

The only reason why he transferred there was because their QB coach, Trickett, was a QB at FSU.

I think we're supposed to have like 5 scholarship QBs? One of them better work out

We will find out come spring practice, and the fever will be high again.

Saw that he got bumped to a 4*. Are they basing this off his pure athleticism or ability to play QB?

honestly, I watched as much video as I could possibly find on him about a week or so ago...and I'm actually kinda sold on the guy. I don't feel like finding all of my tweets/commments about the breakdown but he's a hell of a lot more refined of a passer than I expected and very much like NM in the way that he doesn't take big hits and has a very strong base (legs) that don't fly out from under him when shoulder tackled by DBs.

JUCO Highlights


He sure likes to carry the ball like a loaf of bread.

Not trying to be a negative nancy, but JJ looked like a great passer in last years A Day. He just didn't have the mental 'intangibles' to go with being a great player as we quickly found out. I don't know how you find that before the first game

Every once in awhile he posts a workout video on Twitter and it reminds me a lot of the workout videos we saw of Nick before he enrolled at Auburn.

The sand workout where he shows off his agility is impressive. And from all the comments he's made it seems like he's on a mission and isn't scared to let people know

Not really. Tyler Queen looked like our best QB. And that is saying a lot. If JF can run the read option, and not turn the ball over, we will be a better team. His passing can improve like Cam and NM did.

I would say JJ's case of the Game Aids is rare. How often does a player look that good in no pressure roles but then look that bad when the pressure is on?

I probably put to high of expectations fr our guys but I'd say, Trotter, Caudle, Frazier and Burns were all major disappointments to me. Brandon Cox was our last great multi year starter, no offense to NM he was good too, I just loved BC.

How can you say Cox was a great QB, muchless say he was better than Marshall? Did I somehow miss Cox almost winning us a national title?
