One thing I haven't seen mentioned is there were a boatload of drops in the Bowl Game (Gamble had 3 or 4 himself) or deep balls that looked like they led the receiver properly but became an over-throw because the receiver's feet appeared to be made of lead (Shorter? I'm thinking Slower would be more accurate). Not to say EJ played well at all, he didn't, but some of the responsibility of the 38% completion percentage belongs on the receivers and Oline. Short of about 2 players on Defense, it was a complete crapfest by the entire coaching staff and players. When on the first drive we declined a penalty that would give us a 1st and 10 to take a 2nd and 8 I was like, "okay, looks like we're Mullening tonight gents".
EJ is not good enough and AR is a monster so there should be no discussion on who should be starting at QB for us next year. EJ needs to transfer and get a new start in my opinion but I think the folks saying he will never start a game for a P5 team are projecting their own bias. There's a lot of P5 teams with crappy QB's and EJ is good enough to beat some of these guys out. But he definitely doesn't have the vision, accuracy and timing to excel. The hardest thing to coach is timing and vision. It seems to be more an innate ability for instance like Trask. AR has shown glimmers of it with off the chart athleticism to go along with it.
Best of luck to EJ in whatever is next for him.
