And that's ok. He's 18. Anybody mad about it is an idiot. It should be expected to happen against really good teams as a true freshman.
He had a better season passing and rushing than true freshman Lamar Jackson last year and that kid scored like 25 touchdowns in the first month of his sophomore season and won a heisman at Louisville
Jalen is going to be a stud. Can't wait for A-day though because Tua will start for the other side, then we'll really have a ramped up QB controversy conversation

Yep - Jackson was a crazy man throwing the ball his freshman year. His sophomore year he was not perfect, but he clearly was more comfortable in the offense and in making reads and he got better at throwing to spots.
I doubt Jalen will be Peyton Manning next year, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't much much more advanced in the passing game. He's a smart kid and a workaholic, he'll be all over it this offseason.

Lamar Jackson 2015: 1840 passing yards, 54.7% completion, 12/8 td/int, 126.8 rating, 960 rushing yards 11 rushing tds
Jalen Hurts 2016: 2780 passing yards, 62.8% completion, 23/9 td/int, 139.1 rating, 954 rushing yards 13 rushing tds
Let's see how much Hurts improves from year one to year two, when most qbs make their biggest jump.
