[QUOTE="Techster, post: 34435, member: 360"] Reminds me of 2011 QB situation when Vad was redshirted but was the #3 QB and was only going to be used if Tevin got seriously injured. That's probably how the staff is going to use Matthew Jordan. Don't want to bag on Vad, the guy had to do what he had to do, but I really think MJ is going to eventually become what we thought Vad would be. I really loved the throws he made in his film. The staff definitely got a steal there. This is where it hurt to lose Damon Mitchell last year to Arkansas. Nothing against Byerly or Griffin, but Mitchell is the Nesbitt type but with a little more speed. Kid is a bruiser with a good arm. He would be coming off his redshirt now. Would have been Thunder (Mitchell) and Lightening (JT) at QB. Byerly will play a lot of snaps. I'm comfortable with him at QB. He's not flashy or exciting, he just gets the job done. I think he's a replica of Tevin, but with a better arm. I thought he actually ran the offense the best of any of the 3 QBs last season, from spring on. Granted he didn't play against the top defense. JT can be dangerous back there because he's going to put so much pressure on the edges...which means the DBs better get their reads right. By virtue of his threat on the edges, he's going to help our receivers a lot. Remember that pass off the counter that Stephen Hill was open and scored easily against UNC (should have been twice)? I think that will be devastating with JT back there. Even if he doesn't decide to release that ball and keeps it, that open space will be a playground for him with that type space in front of him. My only question with JT is will he be able to handle the physical demands of the position. Sure he can lessen the blows a bit, ala Tevin, but even Tevin had to take hits because that's the nature of the position. JT isn't a big guy, and he probably will never get near 200lbs. I like the guys at QB, but the reality is, if JT gets hurt, we may be on thin ice. [/QUOTE]
