quote:I was basing it on his inability to crack the starting lineup at EMCC, despite being the most physically gifted athlete on the entire team. Or maybe him quitting at F$U because he wasn't getting enough playing time as a redshirt FR (or maybe because Jimbo didn't think he had a future as a QB and tried to get him to play WR).
This is based on what, The 1 route pass plays Gus calls for him?
quote:#17 QB nationally in 2015, #51 player at any position in Florida according to Rivals. JFII was 25/NR when he came out of HS in 2013.
3* ATH Lamar Jackson - Heisman Favorite
quote:Mayfield led his Texas HS team to a state championship, had P5 offers, but claims he held out for one from TCU that never came. The fact that he 'walked on' to a starting role in his first game as a true FR at Texas Tech (apparently the first QB ever to do so at the FBS level) says a lot about his abilities.
2* Baker Mayfield - Walk On QB Heisman Finalist
quote:Nick was primarily recruited as an athlete (18th best player out of GA), and had offers from most of the major SEC and ACC schools out of HS. When he got bounced from UGa he ended up going to Garden City CC where he was promised a shot at QB. He ended up with 37 TDs (18 passing, 19 rushing) and >4000 yards total offense as the starter there. JFII managed about 1200 yards and 16 TDs (7 passing, 9 rushing) mostly in mopup duty at EMCC.
4* DB Nick Marshall - Top 5 AU QB all time
quote:This guy finally makes your point for you: unheralded and unranked by the recruiting services, signed by USAF but tore an ACL before he saw the field, he ended up at Trinity Valley CC...where in his second year he had a 38-3 TD-to-INT ratio.
2* QB Jerod Evans - VT dual threat QB
Yeah, I can totally see where JFIII = Jerod Evans. My bad.

Seems like there's a lot of confusion as to why JF3 was recruited and not utilized.
The answer is simple and disappointing. He was recruited to give a run threat at QB. He was recruited to be part of a 2QB system that was abandoned and now he's in a position where he's QB2 behind a guy that can't throw.
Our coaches never tried to develop him as QB that would play with the intention of running an entire offense. This is probably why old baw wants to leave now and rightfully so.
