Even if he doesn't become a starter in the future, then you have to have depth at QB.

Guy looks like he has talent, and is getting better.

The crop of '13 QB's look better anyways. We actually don't need a "elite QB" prospect till '14 if Worley is the guy.

Why not? Adds depth at the minimum. Good pickup.

Throwing jump balls in coverage. My point is that will not work in the SEC against Fla, Bama, Lsu, or UGA. Gotta be able to make reads and process a defense. Not saying Bray or Peterman can't either.

The fact that he did not embarrass himself is pretty good for a freshman.

And we all know he was much better than that.

Give him time

Actually jump balls are a big reason Culpepper was a good QB in Minnesota, and he did it against the NFL. As long as you have single coverage, and you know your WR can out jump the DB, it is a smart weapon to use because if you throw it right the worse thing that can happen is you put it too high. A proper jump ball is one that only your guy can get. It's when you throw it into double coverage that you get yourself in trouble.

Haha, I wonder how many consecutive years this has been the excuse?

I agree with this. I'm not saying you should never throw them period. Just looked to me that he did it more than normal. But hey he has good recievers that go get it so it works for them in high school. Also, Culpepper did have Randt Moss so thats not a good comparison. Probably the best deep threat ever.

Where did I say anything bad about his freshman campaign? I thought he had a good freshman season. I simply said throwing jump balls all day won't work. Yal are making it out like I'm destroying Bray and Peterman when I'm not.

Hey, if I had Justin Hunter, I'd be throwing 10 jump balls a game.

Looks like a good prospect and he def has a nice arm, but he throws a lot of jump balls in his video that would be picks in the SEC. His recievers made a lot of nice catches over the top of a DB which makes him look good to most.

I watched most of the Jr video and saw one. Which ones are you referring to?

And you'd throw 4-5 picks a game. Hunter is a hell of and athlete and we all know the kid can get up but don't make it out like its that easy. If it was everyone would just recruit olympic high jumpers.

He threw only 6 picks all of his junior year. He's going to be just fine.

You wouldn't throw a single pick if your receiver knows how to position and you can put it where you need it.

Throwing a jump ball does not mean you give both guys an equal play on the ball. It means you throw to where your guy can jump to like you would throw to where your guy can run to on a slant.

You are making it sound like this is some easy throw that just anyone can make. I understand how to throw a jump ball and I understand what the reciever is supposed to do but you do understand that the other team will be playing defense and positioning themselves to defend the jump ball right? Patrick Peterson wouldn't just let Hunter go get the ball. Every play is easy if its executed right but on=bviously that doesn't happen.

Jump balls in the first 2 min were at 35 sec 57 sec 1:01 and 1:19. While some are great throws and great catches still jump balls. Im not understanding what everyone's point is towars me? Im not downing this guy or Bray. Simply saying he better be able to read a defense and not just rely on his reciever to go get the ball in college.

have to give a coach 2 to 3 years to know if he can evaluate players. have to see how the players pan out. if you thought that was a great coaching job last year well you don't know much about football then. i'm still on the wait and see with dooley.

No. Not at all. Just answering your insenuation that you can't use jump ball throws effectively or are destined to throw alot more picks if you do.

It is another dimension that the DB must defend. If they position themselves to defend the jump ball then maybe you break off on a come back... take off on a go... break across on a drag. If your WR's are as athletic as Rogers and Hunter then the DB has to give something. If DB's play 2 dimensional then the jump ball gives the 3rd dimension and makes coverage another degree more difficult.
