no
I feel like this thread is leaving out one important concept for quarterback usefulness - chemistry.
J-Will, like him or not, has two seasons with these boys under his belt. Sure, he's been with a different coach in a different system, but knowing the dudes you're playing with counts for a lot. missing three weeks of spring football, while obviously a big deal, is less important to chemistry, I feel, than having a feel for the squad in gametime.
How many of his boys do you think he'll be playing with? Bo may have the advantage by the number of players coming in this year that he will be throwing to, all JJ recruits.

That's a good question. I can say Sanders, Butler, Martin, Zimmerman, Lobo, Enright and Poynter. But there are a whole bunch of FRs in that spring football depth chart, so your point's valid.
