Minors for sure. But playing in the minors sucks, sure this is why he's trying for QB
Malzahn should be rightfully run out of town if he decided to spend 3 season trying to make Plumlee work for the program.
Well, JRP should have never been here (or dealt with early). Timmy is not a D-1 QB either. I wasn't a huge Mikey fan but we should have kept him in hindsight.
OMG so true woz! WTF is he doing? WTF is he doing. Killin us
At this point, if Timmy freaks out again, runs backwards, etc etc, try the 3rd & 4th string QBs. We have nothing to lose. OK is gunna hang 70 on us anyway.
There’s a lot of issues with Plumlee but he actually played one of his best games against Boise. That game was a colossal shit the bed game from his skill players
I humbly disagree. I like what I see in the young man. He can be mobile and can accurately throw the long ball. Yes, he can make back-breaking mistakes but I think given time, he has the chance to be real good. His ceiling is far higher than JRP who has plateaued, to put it lightly.
Timmy McClain is a 64% passer with 9 touchdowns and 2 interceptions and averages 200 passing yards a game.
One can only wish. I wouldn't put it past Gus to make a deal with JRP for another year.
I'm not sure man timmy just flipped out last game at points. lost all composure. I just don't know. I do know that neither is a div 1 good qb.
Jrp is injury prone , not that qb smart, and not a passer. They're trying to force him or teach him to pass. He's beat up and just so injury prone.
Right. Timmy’s throwing talent far surpasses that of JRP. I feel like Timmy would have been a good QB in Huepel’s offense because he has the best deep ball we’ve had since Socko. The question will be, can this coaching staff help to shape Timmy’s mental game a bit. Decision making and poise under pressure are certainly lacking. Do I have confidence that the coaching staff can improve this? No, not really
Not if his ability to run is hindered in any way.....he is a WAY below average QB without being 100% healthy.
Well you know I agree on the transfer quarterback.
but for UCF there hasn't been any short-term gain with gus' transfers. just long-term hurt.
You have to hit on at least 2 out of 5 QBs anyway. Not just serviceable but able to win games consistently. We haven’t done that. Playing favorites hurts team more. That’s why our QB room is different every year. Hopefully after JRP leaves he stops with blind loyalty. I doubt he does though.
Oh, he's definitely coming back and Timmy may not be the long term answer. But I'm not sure the team necessarily feels better with JRP but Gus certainly does.
I believe one fair criticism (and it's a big one) is he tricked us into thinking he would be actually throwing the ball downfield. You can't do this with only 2 or 3 WR formations and having one of your WR running behind the line of scrimmage for half of their plays
I was fooled and other than the tackling of our team this has been my biggest letdown.
How many yards a game does Tommy run for vs Timmy? That is critical for a Gus offense. To me Tommy is a much better runner but Timmy has a better deep ball.
JRP needs to hang up the football cleats and Gus needs to come into the current decade. At his physical best, JRP isn’t capable of being a top QB in the Big XII. He can’t pass and he damn sure can’t read coverages. We need a QB that’s bigger than 5’11 and 190. If Gus somehow figures out how to bring him back Knight Nation should explode.
I believe for Gus' longevity he needs to fully assume the role of HC (he's a great point person for the program) and hire the appropriate people to run his offense. He pretty much seems to have a hands off approach for the defense and special teams. It's okay if he wants to run a RPO offense but the trick plays and motion plays need to take a back seat.
