Terrible timing and seemed like a dumb move on first glance, but if he's able to figure a way to end up eligible at an FBS school next season, then I guess I'd have to rethink that.
It sucks for our team, because with the way Jalen is running the ball the chance of injury is obviously increased, which puts a premium on having a solid backup. I guess Blake felt that, even with an injury, when Jalen was healthy he was going to be the starter.
Hope Jalen can stay healthy, and good luck to Barnett. If we make it through the year with Jalen healthy nobody will much remember/care how this went down. If there's an injury and Bateman can't function, people will remember him much differently.
There is clearly arm talent there, but he lacks a presence/awareness that you need to be a starting QB at a high level. Maybe he'll get it eventually. Unfortunately for him, a guy a year younger than him already has it.

See, this is what I am having trouble understanding. You say that it "sucks for our team we need a solid backup," but then you end your post by saying that he lacks the tools to be a worthy QB for our team. So, you'd agree that there isn't much difference, if any difference at all, between Barnett, and Bateman, and Cornwell, right?
I think we will be just as fine with Bateman or Cornwell as we would with Barnett. Just my opinion.
