Interesting read on the 247Sports board on how Jennings and Gibson might be rated based solely on playing the QB position.
Jennings + Gibson
Barton Simmons from 247 on Jennings:
Demry Croft is a 3-star Dual Threat QB according to 247.
Barton S. on Gibson:
I do think we're getting pretty good value for Jennings. The QB position is one of the toughest to project and it doesn't hurt to have one more option at QB with Jennings. Many SEC schools are recruiting 3-star QBs for their backup slots anyway, so we get a 3-star QB who can also be a 4-star safety. Playing QB provides some great insight into the Safety position, as well.
No opinion personally on Gibson. His work ethic is commendable, which makes me like him, but no clue how he'll fare at QB. I trust Butch Jones & Co to make those evaluations.

Barton Simmons from 247 on Jennings:
Purely as a QB, [Jennings] probably be in the 87 range. Similar rating to a guy like Demry Croft who is committed to Minnesota.

Barton S. on Gibson:
Gibson would be maybe an 89 to me purely as a QB. More upside than Jennings. Bigger arm. More athletic. ... I think Gibson's rating right now is reflective of his overall athletic upside. Not sure id have him as high as we do at any one position the more I think about it. ... Also, though Gibson would be rated higher at QB based on upside, I think id take Jauan at QB personally if I'm building a team.
