QB Cardale '12 Gauge' Jones (B1G Champion, National Champion)

[pnuts34]

Absolutely not. Classic case of supposed experts drooling over arm strength without taking any of the mental part of the position into account.

If that's the case, then why isn't Cardale mentioned as much? He has the supposed positive you mentioned: arm strength, and the same negative mentioned: mental part of the position

Back in the saddle. Hopefully Cardale can relax and let the game come to him.

Silver lining about the whole JT situation. Cardale will get all the reps this week.

He also won't be looking over his shoulder eithee... he can just go play.

This could end up well for CJ. A game or 2 without looking over his shoulder might bring back the CJ that we saw last year. Just no read option.

I love the read option and I do think we are built for someone like JT. However this will help Cardale no doubt.

 

[Crump's brother]

I have a feeling that he will be needed for one reason or another this season. I also have a feeling that he will deliver when called upon.

Cardale's got this.

I hope he kept his head in it after the demotion because you never know when that next opportunity will come.

It's here. It's now. Get it done, 12 Gauge.

Take us back to the promised land big fella

He appears to have going by twtter he's been tweeting motivational stuff and about the wins after games.

CJ will be fine but I would love to see Braxton in at QB inside the redzone giving him the option of actually throwing the ball.

Braxton could lob some fades.

 

[Zander42]

I'm sure that Urban has been saving Braxton's arm for the last two games, but if the Minnesota game is close at all, he may be forced to unleash the power of this fully armed and operational Braxton Miller (at least in the red zone).

Why not also utilize Marshall at QB in the red zone? It's not like using Braxton would be much different, both are run first threats and then pass

Well braxton has been a starting QB at the highest level of CFB for 3 years. Is he the best at reading coverages? No. But I wouldn't trust Marshall to do anything but a trick play pass.

So outside of starting previous games, there's no difference. As neither can read defenses and have only been used on trick plays or wildcat formations. Neither has thrown a pass this year and is a running threat in the red zone and is only required to throw the ball a short distance
