Judging by the picture, his throwing motion is grossly flawed. He drops the ball and winds up ala Tebow. Slow and cumbersome. Also, really easy to strip from behind. He better fix that, otherwise he's going to fumble a ton and throw a lot of interceptions. Honestly, I question his coaching to this point. That's terrible. It should have been fixed long ago.
Hopefully that's not typical and the picture was taken out of context, like he was scrambling or something. Still though, very much not good.
Josh Edwards thinks we want Connor Bazelak. Wiltfong says Nik doesn't get rattled on the big stage. Good decision maker. Staff calls him a Baker Mayfield twin
Hope for the best, this might not sound good but does this staff know what a good QB is?
I say that with Johnson in mind but lets think back Johnson was taken as an after thought and was not ever going to be the starter at UK.
So back to the question does this staff know what a good QB is? At the very least the jury is still out and way out in left field.
I'm not so sure SJ was such an after thought. I know it's been spun that way but there were other solid choices, even on the Wildcat roster at the time for a back up qb. Personally i believe that although CMS hoped his QB would live up to the hype, others on staff convinced him that might not be the case.
I also believe they saw a lack of leadership skills and self discipline
And that they (Gran and Hinshaw) already had scoped the football landscape to find a diamond in the rough. With those qualities in hand, Hinshaw's expertise eventually came to the forefront through Johnson.
The man is a whiz and knows how and who to recruit...especially at QB. Coach H. was ranked as one of the top 10 recruiters in college football (while at UT) in 2011 by Rivals.Com. And he had major input in some high powered record setting offenses at both Cincinnati and UT..so he knew what it would require
As I recall, Johnson was his sole choice after an extensive search for a dual threat QB. I really think he was Hinshaw's man all along..but he was not the head coach.
Still sticking by my thought the starting QB job was handed to Barker and Johnson was never going to see the field.
Mind you we are still waiting to see the high power offenses that were on display at other schools.
Just go down the list of QB's recruited to UK and see how they have fared besides Johnson whom I really liked and supported because of his heart and desire to win.
