Shhhh, let them find that out next year.
They didn't want to hire him. They couldn't afford who they wanted...which is pretty funny.
Has he ever won anywhere he's been?
with those comments add to JMar is the answer.
J'Mar looked like the J'Mar that we should have expected. Not perfect but I thought he looked poised and accurate. Made two bad throws. The int was iffy but not the worst decision: WR was covered, but it was single coverage. DB made a good play.
Same response I had to Higgins thread last year. Our coaches believe J'Mar is the answer. He had a solid game tonight - at least 7 drops including big TD drop. I believe he will be better every week and our QB is set for next few years. BUT I'm just a Sunshine Pumper
... and the receiver made a bad play not to break up the interception.
O was a GREAT hire. Hopefully, will turn out to be another Curley Hallman !!!
Embrace the pump!
Saban?
Craft had a big game tonight, just when we needed it. He was a true workhorse. Craft finished with 14 carries for 81 yards, a 5.8 yd average per carry. He also had 3 catches for 13 yds, and did a great job blocking to protect J'Mar in the pocket.
^^^This is an excellent post. I agree.
J'Mar has a very strong arm and throws a really good deep ball. BUT, until late in the WKU game, that was about all he was doing right. In the first half when J'Mar ran the ball, he slid to avoid tackles --acting like he was Peyton Manning (I hate that)-- instead of cutting and trying to gain more yards. On another play when he ran up the middle, if he cuts to his right instead of the left, he scores from about 25 yards out. He also badly overthrew a WIDE OPEN Tech receiver in the end zone on one play.
But he should have never thrown that INT. When he threw that pass, our WR was covered like wallpaper. But J'Mar stared him down from the moment of the snap and was hell bent on throwing only to him.
J'Mar needs to improve his decision making, and his running. I think until late in the WKU game, J'Mar has simply reluctant to tuck it, and run it HARD. He has been too tentative about running the football. For the life of me, I can't understand why Skip Holtz won't "roll out" J'Mar and give him the option to pass or run. That would drive opposing defenses nuts.
Jeff slid a lot too. Maybe its a baseball thing.
The biggest issue for me with J'Mar is his inability, up until now, to look off defensive backs. He stares down his wide receivers on every pass play. When he learns to move defensive backs away from his primary target with his eyes and pump fakes he will create wide open targets for himself.
The other immediate problem is the fact we are running the offense with a dramatically scaled back playbook. As the announcers said during our first possession that decision was made this week. No jet sweeps. Only one fake jet sweep. Only one or two plays where we went up tempo. No power formations until we got into goal line situations. If we have any hope of winning next week or eventually winning a conference championship we're going to have to open up the playbook.
