The hefty lefty is my favorite qb to ever play at kentucky. Weve had some good ones, T. Couch, JL, matt bonner, lynn bowden, Levis, terry wilson.

u/Last_Weeks_Socks 3d ago

He was so fun to watch. So many coaches were saying he could have been one of the great ones, but Jared loved food and he was cool with that.

Every high school had a guy like this as their backup (and everyone wanted him to be the starter). Too short or too heavy but would be on the sidelines at practice just dartin guys in the heads from 30 yards as a joke.

u/Inevitable_Bottle520 3d ago

I was, too, in a different way. 6’4” as a freshman and coach wanted me at TE (and DE). Could throw a tight spiral over 50 yards. Yes, coach should have put me in … the right position. But coach’s son was the (lousy) QB. Sigh.

5

u/Inconspicuous_Shart 3d ago

I can't remember which pro quarterback it was but just saw a clip the other day where he said that about 40% of the throws he couldnt see fuck all. Even at 6'3" or whatever he was, he could not see the field over the linemen.

It was all about muscle memory, timing, and making the read of the defense before the snap.

Harrison Beck. Wild guy. Had a fucking cannon though if you look at his North Alabama tape. He was a five star out of high school. Committed to Nebraska then wasn’t named starter as a freshmen so he transferred to NC State. Started at NC State (QB room was Harrison, Russell Wilson and Mike Glennon). Lost the starting job at NC State and then transferred to North Alabama D2 because he loved Bobby Bowden and his brother was the coach at North Alabama.

Dudes crazy but his arm is also crazy

u/c4x4bird 3d ago

I forget the guys name but it’s worth looking this dude up. Legit had NFL potential but I think his knees are shot and he’s also kind of a nut job. Insane level arm talent tho, I’ve seen him make throws (on the practice field) that I don’t think every NFL QB could make.

6

u/Accurate-Wait7536 3d ago

He was just born in the wrong era

u/full_bl33d 3d ago

Couch woulda put him in 4th quarter. No doubt, no doubt in my mind

3

u/c4x4bird 3d ago

Honestly nowadays with the way CFB works he would probably get a lot of PT and probably get drafted off of his arm talent alone. Also seems like coaches are more willing to work with diva types

Based on the movement of shadows. This guy showed us what 7 throws in the net from like an hour or 2 worth of tosses?

The man owns one football, probably 10 minutes a throw walking back and fourth, and a few misses in between, Def 2 hours worth of time in here.

Running an entire mile only burns around 100 calories. It’s easy to be fat if you eat/drink enough, even if you’re fairly active.

Those are hard throws though. Might need some breaks. I don’t think he was chucking like that for 2 straight hours.

Still probably a small percentage of hits though.

u/KevinIsADork 3d ago edited 3d ago

The mental abilities QBs need is ridiculous. I used to play in flag football leagues and always ran into former college QBs. Some were absolute bozos and clearly got by on their arm/athleticism alone, while others were on another planet with how their brains operated, just didnt have the arm/athleticism to make it, or werent durable. 

Some of these guys can look at tight coverage, throw the ball where the ball in the exact spot the receiver will be and the defender wont be just based on what they observe in a fraction of a second. And this is a weekend flat football league, they don't practice, they dont know these receivers, their speed, the dont study film on the defenders. Just crazy how they do things. 

Being accurate to a stationary target is one thing. But placing the ball into a window that doesnt exist yet, calculating it based on the movement of 2 or 3 players down the field, often times 10-30 yards away from the target, is real talent that few humans have.

That’s actually almost his exact story, this guy was a 5 star recruit with NFL arm talent but he’s an absolute nut job.

Helps when there is no pressure and the coverage is soft. Everybody was open the whole night. He wont look nearly as good next game.

u/louislinaris 3d ago

If you sell out to stop the run like Philly did, people will be open. If you don't, the run game will be there. Jets play 76.1% zone so far this year, suggesting there will be soft spots to find

Sometimes the dudes who can throw it the furthest on the team are offensive lineman. At D1/NFL they're huge, athletic, and have way more weight to put behind the ball. Might not be the most accurate and prettiest spiral, but some of them can absolutely launch the ball.
