Can John Mateer make a Year 2 jump?
He wouldn't be the first transfer QB to be much better in his second year at his new school. Dillon Gabriel did it just three years ago.
I took a look at a few others, as Mateer hopes to have similar improvement:
He didn’t mention but Joe Burrow improved greatly his second year at LSU
So many things should be better:
- Recovered from his injury. Prior to that he looked like a bonafide Heisman candidate
- Experienced OLine
- Same OC
- New improved TE coach
- Stability in program familiarity
- Improved WR & TE & RB rooms
Almost everything is improved. Should be a fun year

He will be serviceable I fear. That isn't horrible.
Arkansas fans rioted when I brought up that Drake Lindsey, whose family is Arkansas football, wound up going to Minnesota and winning 8 games last year. "He's mediocre!" they screamed.
A mediocre, game manager QB at Arkansas probably had us at 6-6 and in a bowl game last year.
Maybe Mateer will show a big jump, but I suspect he'll be average. Not a bad thing. Don't lean on him to win games and don't put him in a position to fail and Oklahoma has a good shot at the playoffs. Once you're in CFP all bets are off.
It might enrage some Alabama fans but they've won a few national titles with "just don't f*ck up" QBs who could matriculate the ball down the field and avoid mistakes.

This tries to make out like this is his second year when its actually his fourth year.

The X-factor for him is how much did that injury really derail his season.

Didn't Mateer get hurt this past year?
