I for one am excited. Nothing against Marshall, but he was a Kodi Burns 2.0 at the QB position: plenty of athletic ability but terrible accuracy. I only wish Sammie Coates had returned. He was wide open on a lot of deep routes and got overthrown at least 3 times a game. How many yards and TDs would Sammie have had, if Marshall had the touch and accuracy that JJ does?
This is crazy. NM is NOT Kodi 2.0. He missed some open targets but managed the 2nd best deep ball percentage. All QB's miss open targets. The problem with your last question is it fails to factor in other obvious issues.
How many sacks would JJ take because he doesn't possess NM elusive nature? How many late bullets that NM threw would JJ be able to throw because we have no idea how he will perform under pressure? The list is long. I expect great things for JJ but I fear for some Auburn fans that may not see the forrest for the trees.

A lot of those late bullets were because Marshall had a problem reading his progressions too. From what I've seen from JJ, he goes through his reads much faster. Not to mention, he is a lot taller than Marshall and can see over the line. And he probably won't be getting near the amount of balls batted down at the LOS.
It doesn't take away what Marshall did for us over the past two season to say that JJ will be an upgrade at QB. Marshall played his heart out, and I'll always be a fan of him.
