Justin and his father should be shot! Don't they know that somewhere out there is a better, faster athlete that will compete for your job!

First, I thought I was watching a college team, not a high school.

Second, Bo's mechanics and setup are far better than JW's

Third, his arm strength is obviously better

Fourth, his attitude has got to be better than JW's immaturity.

Justin had the oppportunity to be coached by one of the best quarterback coaches in the nation, perhaps tied with Norm Chow. He had the opportunity to correct his flaws and realize his potential.

JJ has an offense that demands accuracy and decipline for it to work. If JW could have fit in he could have flourished.

But, no he would rather throw away a $200,000 scholarship, disappoint his teammates and let down those of us that wanted to support and cheer for him. Where is his father in this mess...telling him that he doesn't need to worry about an education as he is a top athlete?

I agree. He had to have scouts watching him all the time. Based on that video he looked the part of major D-I QB to me.

Yeah, they really just make it a nuisance. You might want to try out TOR, the onion router. Usually illegal as all get-out on a corporate network, but usually circumvents any and every tracking/blocking measure

So you don't think he has the ability or maybe desire to pull his butt out of his current predicament..right?

I don't think he we will ever see him after May. He unfortunately doesn't believe he has to take responsibility for anything he does because he is an athlete. Sadly, I don't think many of his teammates want him back. Again, where is his father in all this mess?

This was not JJ's doing, this was a spoiled little boy that thinks he is above it. We probably contributed to it by not staightening out his attitude last year and using him as our posterboy for the Pony Up campaign.

I don't know him well enough to say for sure, but I have my doubts. We have a history of running off QBs at SMU...or moving them to TE. Since we don't have a TE position anymore....

I agree he does remind me a little of Brees.

Watching BLM play I think is further proof that the rivals stars ratings are BS. If I were to rate him I'd say he's at least a 3 star and not a 2 star.

Comments:
1)he does not have an "incredibly stronger arm" as someone posted above
2) he's probably between 6.05-6.1
3) he seems to have "adequate" not great speed.
4) he does seem to have a nice touch
5) he had something like 37 TDs and only 4 Ints-which is quite impressive
6) they appear to be running the I Formation-so its going to take awhile to pick up the Run and Shoot.

What I like best is his accuracy while on the move. That is a must for us at this time.
