Whoever said that is a racist, but don't lump everyone into that bunch just because they critisize a players throwing ability.


I did not say everyone was. I said they're either 1 or another.

Read my post man.

The bigger problem around here is people needing to educate themselves on what a QB actually has to do to process plays as they develop. It's a miracle that Jalen didn't have a complete meltdown that singlehandedly lost multiple regular season games. That's typically the expectation of true freshmen QBs.

Jalen will only get better from here. QBs don't typically make eye popping progress from September to January. That happens from February to August.

My biggest concern is the O-line and any changes to the offensive design.

But you're still wrong. You're using ad hominem attacks as opposed to putting forward any evidence to support your claims. "If you disagree with my opinion, it's because you're dumb or a racist" is a pretty weak dialectic. Contributes nothing to the conversation and is based on fallacies.

I'm inclined to agree here, but I think his problem late was being overly conservative. He was holding onto the ball waiting for someone to be totally uncovered, because he was so afraid of throwing a pick. He was much more aggressive at the start of the season, to much better effect.

The fact of the matter is, his play was a liability on Monday. Clemson had so little respect for the pass that they were playing 9 guys in the box at certain points. Yes, he was a true freshman and that excuses it to an extent. But to say criticism is totally unwarranted is just flat out inaccurate.
