EJ is the only black I've seen with zero "fast-twitch" muscle fibers.?? That cannot be corrected. Frustrating because EJ is a slick elusive running QB and throws a "pretty" flight-pass" but way too slow - an interceptor's dream.

My statement on fast-twitch muscle fibers is an established scientific explanation. It has nothing to do with racism(if that's the suspicion that I've stepped out of the line.) In fact, it is complementary in the sense of praising athletes who consistently win 95% of the best sprint times. That fact is what launched the learning search for that particular knowledge. It involves honesty in learning - untampered with by PC prejudice. Have we been trained.?

While from what I know he is a very good person, a good student, etc. That said he really is not a good QB at this level. He learned from Trask to be patient, when he should have learned how to read defenses and work hard. I expect him to go somewhere, probably a lower level and have some success. Professional football might even be possible. If he was smart a position change would be valuable, how about running back here?

EJ's lack of "quick reaction" hinders his performance from being elite. An elite QB is a necessity as the #1 ball handler and trigger to success. EJ just barely misses on elite qualifications... so close, but no. He's very good of character, though. I wonder if specific training might develop the necessary skills.? Seems a near-miss waste. Let's see what a fully supported AR can develop into.?? in Napier's offensive schemes.??

I'm looking forward to seeing how BN handles calling plays for AR15. Should be very interesting.

... and will AR flourish.? matching his earlier Heismany flashes.? = stuff we might be overlooking is that Coach Napier, in AR, may have "lightning in a bottle" in AR15.??

Seeing how he's thrown an average of 2 per game (at least it seems that way) I sure wouldn't bet against him throwing a couple. The opponents really don't seem to matter all that much. If you don't see the defender, it doesn't matter what uniform he's wearing.

Plus the slow-flight of the ball encourages DBs to up their attack closing. If UCF has some ball hawks, we're at risk every pass play.

I think we all saw this year how much talent he has. The big question is going to be how that talent is coached up by the new staff. The last staff really didn't seem to have him ready to start yet. Was that because he wasn't putting in the time on his own or was it because Dan Mullen didn't want him ready to replace EJ? The raw talent is there, but it needs to be developed to thrive. One thing that concerns me a little is the QB at ULL was missing seeing a lot of open receivers in their championship game. I'm hoping that's because he just wasn't a top flight QB and not because he wasn't taught or developed better.

If you watched any of those GFPN offensive film reviews, he constantly said EJ pretty much only throws hitch routes because he's scared to throw a receiver open and/or just doesn't trust his accuracy. Put that on top of usually being late to throw and it became pretty easy to see why EJ struggled as the year went on. Defenses figured out how to defend him.

Nah brah, we just want a real QB playing the QB position. No hard feelings. If you want to stay a Gator, then switch positions. Much love, Gator Nation.

Not sure he is even good enough for the WNFL (if it existed).
