Taylor Bartons (Aaron Rogers old tutor) take on Heaps

MiamiVice7 said:
As many have said, first of all, he's just more competition. If he's not good enough, he won't play here. If he is the best we have, then so be it (and, in that case, good thing he's coming).

All that said, if the guy can play, he could have a lot worse group of WRs to throw to and RBs to hand of to. Maybe he has something to prove. And maybe he's more talented and/or developed than what we have. In that case, what a pull this would turn out to be.

If I'm Heaps, I'm salivating at the chance to work with Coley, Duke, et al. Who knows, maybe he's just not as good as everyone thought and he hasn't/won't pan out. But this time around, the talent around him won't be the reason it doesn't work out.

I wish him luck. I don't care who the guys is for us, I just want him to ball. Let this group of playmakers do their thing.

Jacob Eason is one of the top QBs in the 2016 class. 6'5" 205 out of Lake Stevens, WA. If signing Heaps can help out with a solid 2016 QB recruit from his region, it's just another major positive with getting him on board.

That region is churning out QB's lately. Heaps, Max Browne, Scyler Miles all in the last 5 years, all very highly rated out of high school.
 
I see no downside with this guy. And I hate the idea of trotting out a freshman starter who has zero game experience, so hopefully he pans out.

Guy is sure heaping a lot of praise on the guy.

Who knows, maybe he'll come out on top of the heap after fall practice.
 
I want too see heaps face when he actually has protection and guys that can catch a ball lol. I think he might be in shock. Kansas was he'll for him.

Let me see if I got this: "I would say Jake epitomizes exactly what you think of when you picture the ideal quarterback." He is short but not fast. And I thought tall and fast was in. Stupid me. Short QBs are what everyone wants now. We better cut Kaaya fast, he is too tall.

Listen I hope this kid wins 13 games for us. But this guy is selling himself here. He has been coaching this kid since the birth of Christ, and nothing has come from it. Now kid come to the OC who took a nice NFL prospect and made him into a complete loser. Well, the good news is this kid doesn't have a big arm. That is a plus given what happened last year.

Not quite that long, but I get what you're saying.

I'll echo what many have already said; this won't hurt the program at all. Hopefully it will light a fire under Olsen's *** and get him moving forward.
 
The Silver lining is with the probable return of Williams by mid=season we don't have to burn the redshirts for Kayaa or Rozier..

This is the key take away, and the hope of what could change um offense drastically:

"You see a lot of guys that have a very strong arm, but they wait until a receiver is open. When you get to the higher levels, playing a Florida State, their defensive backs are fast too. They’ve already broken on the ball. The great quarterbacks throw it to a receiver before he’s open. So when he turns around or when he comes out of his break the ball is there. That’s what Jake does. What he lacks for in arm strength he makes up for in being so smart, reading the coverage and being able to anticipate the throw and get it to the receiver before he’s out of the break."
 
I have no problem with bringing this kid in at all but I'm done listening to QB "gurus" ever since Ty Detmer broke my heart.
 
I like the statement that this may help us land the 2016 QB too....................the only down side to this is we use one schollie that we could have applied to the NCAA penalty.............

It takes a lot of chemistry with your receivers to anticipate those throws. Dorsey was the freaking master of this. I don't think Heaps will have enough time to get that Dorsey-esque anticipation/chemistry going with our group of WRs/TEs, but he doesn't really have to. All he needs to do is make the right read, throw the ball on time (which in some cases is indeed before the WR breaks), and let our guys catch it and do the rest.

Heaps needs to do that, and if he doesn't get the job--then whoever does needs to do that.

Signed a financial aid agreement. Not sure if he's on scholarship.
