I think the Qb got way too much of the blame for last season. After Duke went full tard we were left with only Louis who could get open and he suffered from the dropsies. To me the biggest difference from JJ 14 and JJ 15 was who he was throwing to. He did get frustrated, started forcing passes and lost confidence but I think that who he was throwing to was the major reason for his struggles. With a wr corp of Sammie, a semi sane Duke and CJ with Louis and Ray as the 4th guy and he doesn't struggle the way he did last season and lives up to preseason hype. I could be wrong but that is my opinion.

His accuracy was incredibly inconsistent on all passes and got worse. WRs may have contributed but it seemed pretty clear he didn't trust himself early in the season once he started struggling.

Jay Tate seems to think that rooming with Duke was a big mistake. He made a comment about how Duke basically blamed JJ constantly for ruining his chances and just shattered his mental game

I could see all that.

I think the problem in the here and now is that the WR cadre is so untested and young and unlike Texas A&M and some other teams, we don't do a great job of getting true freshmen WRs to contribute much.
