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.

That's a more plausible explanation than "he's a potentially awesome DT QB except our coaches are actively conspiring to prevent him from becoming one".

I still lean towards "we screwed up and signed this guy thinking he could lead an offense, when he's been unable to demonstrate and kind of ability to do so". But your version is equally logical.

In either case, Gustav/Lashlee have failed yet again at QB evaluation/development. It's truly a wonder that SW looks as competent as he does when healthy.
