Through the Smoke

Looks like Goldens positive attitude is rubbing off on him a bit... he would have never tweeted that if Shannon was still here!! Hopefully with a new attitude comes a new QB this year... he has the potential just think it was more mental than anything else last year!!

ive always been a jacory fan, i was happy to see this tweet

There is nothing mental about the balloon he throws up in the air. If seen him throw way too many interceptions I am done with him and hopefully AG saw enough at the bowl game.

Jacory is who he is. What makes anyone think that after three years he is going to start throwing the ball with some zip??? He has had more then enough chances, it's time to move on. Morris has to be the QB for this team.

Sounds like he is getting some confidence back. Hope he is hitting the gym like a crazy man cause he needs to bulk up some. Yes, he tends to try to put TOO MUCH touch on alot of throws and that gets him in trouble. He looks his best when he sets and steps into the throw. He has plenty of arm and talent but he has to use it. I would like to see him turn it around and have a great year. I hope he is putting in the work and I think he doesn't have a choice under AG. He will sit otherwise. The question will be what will happen when that first interception is thrown if he does get the starting nod. He can't play looking at the sidelines to see if Morris is checking in. I don't think Morris can do that either. No matter what, I am a huge fan and hoping that we put it all together. If this team plays to its talent level every week then we should be BCS bound IMO.

SMadison29 you are right man. Jacory has an arm and just needs the proper coaching, I saw too many times when throwing the ball, Jacory standing up tall or off his back foot and just using all arm. Didn't see him step into many throws, and that's coaching to me. Plus with that terrible play calling. I could see Whipple's plays in my sleep, Max protection 2 deep routes with no check downs! Plus no TE's that could get open. How many times did that play have to get picked off before we take a different approach?! What a nightmare. Decision making can be a problem with any young QB's and can be fixed. Plus the beating he was taking from his own fans really got to him I believe, because you can see that his confidence was shot. A fresh start with this new staff could be a blessing for him and I hope so because he's a good kid.

And btw, there's no play call in anyone's book that says throw the ball fifty yards downfield right to the safety. It's called THROW THE FUCKER AWAY!

Boz, totally remembered that play. I was about to be pissed cuz Dorsey wasn't playing particularly well and I thought I was about to see an interception in the end zone. But instead Najeh came up with it. Awesome. Just awesome.

Boz you are correct about that too. He had way too much confidence in those guys and they kept letting him down.

undoubtably, Jacory has talent, he's shown it. I agree that most of his errors in judgement could be chalked off to lack of confidence/mental. Confidence is a huge factor, as is attitude. I feel that Jacory on too many occasions had the nonchalant attitude of RS. When Jacory's back was to the wall, many times he came through. When he felt the pressure, he performed. However, there was too many times, he acted as if there was no pressure at all and he put us in a hole we couldn't climb out of. Being calm under pressure is one thing, but not getting up for a football game or acting like you don't absolutely need to perform at your peek, is another. Sometimes, I swear it seems as if Jacory (and the rest of the team for that mattter) had prepped themselves to attend a bake sale, not a football game. in the old days, the guys would be bouncing around on the sidelines, cause they couldn't sit still - this past year it seemed like they were bouncing around in a futile attempt to wake themselves from their slumber. My point is, a coaching staff with the right attitude (which I believe we have) can take the talent that we already have and by lighting a fire under their ass; the sky is the limit. when it's all said and done, I want the best QB on the field that no longer is the one that will help us or give us the best chance to win, I want the best QB on the field that WILL win games for us. Come September if that QB is JH12, then I'm rooting for JH12. I don't see why a new attitude and work ethic between now and then can't make that difference.
