Kj Jefferson...commits to UCF

If we don’t get Jefferson or even Nelson, I think all over qbs are a downgrade from TVD tbh(Assumption is that Howard is not interested what so ever). Who else is there?

Would he have a real OC here?
 
I'm glad no one is asking me but I'd rather have Malachi over KJ.

You either get both or you get Malachi but don't just get KJ, thats bad business.

But since this is a new year and behaviors change a bit, I've stopped caring about talent acquisition altogether, cause there's no point. Watching the Cam Ward saga via thread ban just demonstrated that absolutely nothing is worth my attention in that regard.

KJ Jefferson in 2021 and 2022 was actually in a very similar situation as he'd be here.

Playing for an OL centered head coach, who has hired a coach somewhat unorthodox to what he knows to call his offense.

Pittman hiring Briles and Mario hiring Dawson.

In those 2 years:

2021 -- KJ was 9th in the country in passer rating. Better than Jordan Travis, Will Levis, Tyler Van Dyke, Sam Howell, Desmond Ridder, Aidan O'Connell, and Kenny Pickett. That's the 2 state QBs plus 5 NFL starters.
-- 9th in the country in yards per attempt. That's better than Bryce Young, Matt Corral, and all the guys I mentioned above. Only names above him include Stroud, Bennett, Hooker, Caleb Williams
-- 15th in the country in completion percentage. Again better than Bryce Young, Pickett, Levis, etc
-- He also ran for 664 yards, which is over 50 per game, with 6 TDs. Accounted for 27 TDs overall with only 4 INTs in 13 games. In the SEC West.

2022 -- KJ was 6th in the country in passer rating. Better than Drake Maye, JJ McCarthy, Jordan Travis, Max Duggan, Sam Hartman, and Stetson Bennett.
-- 20th in the country in yards per attempt. Better than McCarthy, DTR, Michael Penix Jr, Will Levis, etc
-- 8th in the country in completion percentage. Better than Jayden Daniels, Clayton Tune, and CJ Stroud
-- He also ran for 640 yards, which is over 58 per game, with 9 TDs. Accounted for 31 TDs with only 4 INTs in 10 games. In the SEC West.

In 2023, Briles moved on to TCU, and Arkansas hired a guy named Daniel Enos. I've never heard of him, but apparently he's not the best coordinator known to man. Who knew? Jefferson's numbers sunk, and he got hurt multiple times.

Make no mistake, this kid is a good football player. No, he's not an NFL passer. But he can ABSOLUTELY get the job done in this scheme, with this OL, this defense, and these weapons. No doubt about it.

And this is probably my single favorite thing about him and why I feel he'd be successful here:

Everybody thinks he sucks.

I LOVE that. The average person who gives their opinion and is really vocal about this stuff went to pre-first grade. If the average person hates him, that means he's actually really good. Because the average person is a ******* moron. (PS you’re entitled to not think he’s great. He’s in the portal. Very few kids there are great. They almost always have warts. I just think the majority of people who are yelling from the rooftops that he sucks didn’t actually watch him play. If you did and you’ve studied him and you say he’s useless, consider your opinion respected. I disagree.)

If we miss on Ward, sign me up for this kid. He would excel in this offense. He's basically what we all want Jacurri Brown to be. Big, mobile, accurate, experienced, tough, can run and throw, and he's 24 years old. We need some adults in that room. The last one we had was basically a mute. Someone who can come in and show Emory and Judd how to work, and also, maybe bringing this guy in helps keep Jacurri. Who better to continue to learn under than a **** carbon copy of the player you're trying to be?

He's been successful, and most adult helmet wearers tell me he stinks. Sign me up.

Bumping this post btw. I’d be very happy with KJ. Many of you would not, which would make me even more confident he’d be a baller here.

Did Clayton Tune? Y’all are exhausting.

I don’t know, a lot of people like Dana as an offensive mind.

It’s also funny that we point to the fact that Tune, after starting for how many years, finally was good his senior season.

We might as well give Enos credit for Brandon Allen? That was an elite offensive year.

Yes Dawson is pretty good. He has some things to fix/work on but overall I was happy with the O. Having to play banged up TVD and a true frosh wasn’t ideal but still produced. Kj would be really good for Dawson

We had 6 games that received a negative offensive value rating.

Mario has never had a season with less than 5.

And people are happy about this? Bruhhhh, where are the standards for this program???
