    I don’t like watching ‘Gus style’ QBs but it seems like KJ would be a great fit and he has size to hopefully be more durable than JRP

    but is the UCF interest for real? that Coastal Carolina QB played Gus

    He was in Orlando yesterday. To some degree, whether he ends up at UCF could be predicated on where Cam Ward ends up. If Ward goes to Miami, then a much better chance KJ comes to UCF. TCU I think was also mentioned as a possibility for him.

    If he's looking to put up numbers next year, UCF is probably the best place for him.

    Having a qb that can throw deep seems like a nice compliment to our very good running game

    Simply put if Gus(who made his career on the back of Cam Newton) can’t create the top offense in the Big 12 with KJ and our returning talent then he isn’t the guy and we should move on. That’s why I want KJ.

    Well at least when our QB went down we didn't get asses fucked like that.

    Gus the offseason champ

    Everyone back on offense and an upgrade at QB

    I'm not excited but it will be nice ot have a QB that isn't Plumlee. So we got that going for us

    An injured JRP got us 6 wins, therefore if we win anything less than 8-9 next year it’s a big disappointment.

    We still need a massive upgrade on the lines and at lb for that expectation I think

    Yeah the o-line started out not great but quickly became good enough to get the job done.
    JRP's injuries and inconsistency, more-than-occasional WR gaffes, and the vast majority of the defensive play were the real problems.

    No idea why anyone thinks a healthy JRP is a 3 win difference but with returning starters on offense, no excuses next year.

    that said we can also stop saying “if we had a healthy JRP” when half of his problem is his decision making and specifically where and how to run at defenders. It’s not a freak accident he couldn’t stay on the field ala KZ. JRP being injured is the problem with how jrp plays

    KJ is about as good of a QB as we can expect to land without getting lucky with an unheralded QB recruit (ie, Milton and maybe DG). This guy started for three years in the SEC West. That’s something. He knows good football.

    Totally agree with you. I actually don’t think we get a single extra win with a healthy JRP this past year.

    You can say Baylor but that was more of a coaching catastrophe than anything. But I won’t push back at that one. But I’m not sure jrp jumps out to that lead either.

    My understanding is that Arky's OL was so bad that KJ probably didn't have enough time to throw downfield.

    Regardless, it sounds like he took a big step back this season under the new OC. He went from air raid to pro style system. Hopefully an RPO system like Gus runs will be the optimal situation for KJ. Given his metrics, I'd guess it's a perfect fit.

    Well KJ is going to do about 3000 yds passing, 7-800 yds rushing and about 30 tds. Have fun!

    Sounds good to me!

    What's your read on what happened with him and the offense this season? It was a pretty obvious step back for him in terms of his stats.

    I would take everything coming out of Arkansas last year with a grain of salt. Dude was so good for years and is a great fit for Gus.

    O-Line was absolute dogshit (was given at most 2 seconds before someone would be in his face/hanging off him on top of snapping the ball issues all year long), receivers had semi-dicks for hands. Enos was a dipshit and didn't have receivers separated, routes would have 2 guys being covered by 1 defensive back due to spacing. Things opened up a bit when we put in the Guiton as OC, but then OLine problems still overshadowed everything.

    That’s kind of what I’ve heard from other Arky fans. I have zero reason to think KJ can’t be damn good for us playing in the B12 if he was solid in the SEC West.

    Basketball season looks like it’s going to be another super fun one. This team has zero offensive identity and it’s brutal to watch.

    Can someone explain how he ended up at ecu in the first place? DB seems fully upgraded. Still huge doubts on front 7 but trending in right direction.

    idk how it turns out but it will be fun to have a QB that is more Bortles than JRP Joel Osteen.

    We’re fine at DT:

    Ricky Barber
    Lee Hunter
    John Walker
    Matthew Alexander
    Derrick LeBlanc
    Andrew Rumph
    Marcus Downs


    Now, when it comes to DE, I’m concerned:

    Malachi Lawrence
    Daylan Dotson (UT Martin transfer)
    Jamaal Johnson
    Isaiah Nixon
    Kaven Call

    I’m wondering g if that new Texas Tech transfer might end up at EDGE instead of LB.
