Man those stats are pretty underwhelming. 58.7% completion percentage at Sac State?
This is adding an extra body for depth. Which is fine. He's not the guy.
Big Sky player of the year. I won’t be surprised at all if he starts. Not disappointed in this. If he’s better than what we got, great. If not, that’s cool too.
If I put the failure to add a high end, grad transfer QB like Hogan out of my mind and view this on it's own merits then I'm good with it. If he doesnt win the starting job (I bet he does) he'll at least be better depth than the other loser.
Besides, he took Heaners spot. Give me a guy who goes FCS and does well and comes back to the big boys for one last go, vs a dude who lost the job and took his ball and went to Fresno.
Donovan has preferred more mobile QBs. His starters at Vandy were Aaron Rodgers' brother and Magna Carta's brother, not exactly dual threat QBs but definitely not statues. He signed Trace McSorley at Penn State but was stuck with Hackenberg during his tenure as OC. I could see this kid or Garbers winning the job.
Ha, meanwhile that DE verbals to Oklahoma and we sign a FCS player. Story of this “legendary” 2021 class. What a fucking joke. Hahaha, god we’re pathetic.

Well, he's technically coming in with the 2020 class
I remember drunkenly watching Sac State hang in there in Tempe until the end last year, not sure how big of an impact he had because that game scored like 2 shitty NFL teams matching up.

If a college coach prefers a pocket passer, he’s retarded. Not saying all pocket passers suck, but most of them do, and it’s a hinderance if your QB can’t run. But Tom Brady!

I guess it depends on the level. At the college level, mobile quarterbacks are much more valuable because they can outrun most linebackers. However, in the NFL where linebackers run 4.4 and 4.5 40's, the mobile QB isn't as valuable. Unless of course you have Lamar Jackson speed which is once in a generation type of speed. The only QB even comparable is Michael Vick. Even Randall Cunningham didn't have close to Jackson's speed.

The NFL is seeing the value of being elusive like Mahomes who isnt fast

And yet having a mobile QB is still advantageous in the NFL, just not to the same degree as in college.
The days of the Mannings, Bradys Brees and Rivers types dominating the league are numbered.

Definitely like mobile in college
Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have been doing that for the last decade. Neither are really fast. Mahomes didn’t suddenly make the NFL value elusiveness more

I didn't actually say Mahomes did. Just that the NFL is a copy cat league and you don't need to run a 4.4 to be mobile. Mahomes is the most recent champ
Jackson met with with skepticism even after Rodgers and Russell

Russ ran a 4.55 at the combine. That's pretty damn fast for an NFL QB and probably average for an NFL RB.
He's nowhere near that fast anymore though that's for sure.
Rodgers was a a 4.71 at the combine he's probably a 4.9 or 5.0 now but still quick for short distances.
