[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 624833, member: 1191"] JG came here BECAUSE we were willing to let him play QB. We need to take a minute and be honest. As big a CPJ fan as I was, we didn't win very many recruiting battles when offering QBs sought after by other schools as QBs. We beat out a few others for both Vad Lee and Jaylend Ratliffe. Almost every other QB was being recruited by other P5 schools as a pure athlete. Bama told JeT he'd get a shot at QB and JeT flipped to us once he realized Saban wasn't really being honest about that. Also, there's a big difference between the ability to throw a few nice passes and being able to break down defenses and go through your progressions while staying in the pocket and then hitting your target. Our guys aren't there and likely won't be in the near future. That's not an indictment on their talent level, just an admission that their skill set is different than the way we would optimally like to use them. CGC and CDP recognize this and have gameplanned around it. As for our current crop of QBs, if it were me, I'd permanently move TO to the slot and let LJ and JG split the reps at QB. JG probably has the best chance to make the necessary jump in this O, but don't sleep on Yates, who will probably be the starter in a year or two. [/QUOTE]
