These remarks from that article really encapsulate the "just-scratching-the-surface-of-his-potential" argument quite well:
"Hes only played the quarterback position one year. Ever. Its the games most difficult position and Gibson threw for 1,864 yards and 19 touchdowns while rushing for 1,032 yards and 10 touchdowns leading his team to a state championship. In year one of ever playing the spot. And hes playing in Florida, the state that produces [the] most Division I talent in America and in Broward County, one of the most loaded counties in the that state and nationally in terms of speed and talent. Thats why everyone in America recruits there. Hes going up against super talent week in and week out and knocking it out of the park in his first try at the position. All of his mechanical, physical and mental development at the position lies ahead of him in the years down the road. Hes just scratched the surface at the position."
Ok so the dude only started playing QB last year. Once again I say to the people who don't want him. You are completely nuts.
Especially considering that if we don't get him, he'll probably be at Aubarn tearing it up. And if not the barn then up at OSU with Urby. Neither of those scenarios seem desirable to me.
I've been saying from the start that TG has bonafide superstar potential. He may be raw but players with his abilities and skillset don't grow on trees.
1 year. 1 year and as stated in the article, is playing real, real good competition every week, coached by ex-pro's, and he won and won impressively----in his 1st year. And he has passion and a work ethic with his game, there are amazing possibilities to think what he could become.
Add in Jennings, who is pretty impressive and raw as well. Would be nice.
I think Tennessee will take 2 QB's this class and Jennings won't be counted as one, officially.
I agree. They can't risk putting all their eggs in the Gibson basket since he is deciding later in the process. Jennings is not guaranteed to play QB and even with Gibson he gets labeled an athlete more than a QB. They need to get atleast one pure QB, hoping its Dormady or Darnold. Really like Darmady and hoping its him.
