The thing I always noted in the "Cam vs. JFF vs. Tebow" debates.....
Lets see what the team looks like without them. This really goes to show how much they meant to their schools.
Following Cam?
Trotter and Khiel Frazier. No dobut thats a big drop off in QB talent....but the team just won a NC. And their offensive play was awful. Obviously things have picked up since Gus came back and Marshall took over. But its clear "there is no Cam running this offense"
Following Tebow?
Brantley (not counting Driskel years)
There was an expectation that Florida's offense would be different but still as effective. Brantley was going to throw for a bunch of yards in that offense. They still had some play makers coming back.....instead it was two brutal years for the Gators offense. There was no following Tebow's throne.
Kenny Hill/Kyle Allen?
Both are viewed as big time prospects. But you could make the case Brantley/Frazier were viewed as big time prospects also. But lets assume they're good...
If Kenny Hill puts up similar numbers/wins......doesnt that sort of take away from "JFF's mystique" sure no one has ever been the playmaker JFF is....but If Kenny HIll throws for 3800 yards/rushes for 650 yards 40 total tds...
Doesnt that mean Sumlin truly has a system that helps QBs put up big yards?
If A&M's QBs/team struggles....I think that adds to JFF's legacy. He truly was all they had. Just like no Cam exposed Chizik. And no Tebow caused Urban to have health problems.
So for all the JFF > Tebow/Cam. I think we should wait to see how A&M does now that he's gone...before anyone can come to that conclusion.
You could have saved a lot of time and effort and just said, "I'm Skeer'd."

I could easily see whoever A&M QB is putting up decent to good numbers but unable to play well against the better teams.
We might have trouble with LSU as they have maybe the only defense in college football that can shut down modern offenses.
But not some of the rest...

Take a look at Tech when Leach was there. They had QB put up big numbers every year. It's the system.

Yeah like when Tannehill went to start for the Dolphins we had a dropoff at QB
