KJ Jefferson

Getting some hype. Anyone else think he’ll underwhelm?

Yep, but he wont be bad.

 

[Dawghouse]

He's a good player. He'll probably just whelm (not over, not under) because I don't think he has the talent around him or coaches to overwhelm.

 

[onewoof]

Why was he all butt hurt about us not going after him more? He's not going to beat out Rogers to start.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

He’s a good player, has been for a couple of years.

I don’t particularly think Arkansas has a ton around him though, outside of a very good RB.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

He's good but his body won't hold up. Especially getting beat up so much last year. He would have been good in a Mullen offense. I think he's about as good as fitz

Jefferson is a really really good player. He’s basically a poor man’s Dak Prescott who has not and will never develop that next level passing ability. He’s a much better passer than Fitz (below Dak) and a slightly better runner than Dak. Fitz is the best running QB in SEC history…so kinda hard to beat that.

Jefferson’s biggest weakness seems to be his lack of vision/awareness as a QB and his intelligence. That was perhaps one of Dak’s biggest strengths and the reason why, in 10 years, no one will remember Jefferson.

Jefferson is good but I doubt he’s going to take some big leap. Arkansas will be better with him on the field than they were last year without him but I don’t think it’s a three or four win difference.

I don’t think the word “Dak” and the words “KJ” or “North Panola” (wuut the 17) should be allowed in the same sentences. Ever.

And I’m sorry, bro…. But saying somebody's biggest weaknesses is “intelligence” is effffing epic. And I totally agree…. He’s dumb.

He’s a marginally gifted athlete, but he’s no Dak…. Not on any level. I don’t think he was ever a serious target for us.

Is the guy whose offense got boatraced by liberty’s defense getting overhyped? Yes. Very much.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

He’s really good but not sure he’s ever just taken a game over without stars around him….as did Dak and Fitz. He has trouble commanding drives and keeping his Defense off the field…has had trouble in the redzone…so even when he’s moving the ball, Ark has a really hard time getting 6

He is a good player, but his style (not unlike early Dak) puts him in a situation where injuries start to mount early in the season.
He is good though.

In 2010 and 2011 would you trade Relf for Jefferson if he was around?

 

[ZombieKissinger]

Getting some hype. Anyone else think he’ll underwhelm?

I by no means watch all Arkansas games, but my impression is that his stats, like TD/Int ratio, are inflated and won’t survive this season

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

In 2010 and 2011 would you trade Relf for Jefferson if he was around?

Relf will always be my boy. Dude did more with less.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Who is their OC now that Briles left?

I can't imagine it was an upgrade. Unless it's a power option offense with some play action I don't imagine them being better on offense. He would need a good QB coach to make that leap.

 

[Faustdog]

Getting some hype. Anyone else think he’ll underwhelm?

Completely overhyped.

 

[skydawg1]

I don't get the love he's getting. At all.

Dan Enos is the new OC at Arkansas.

 

[Shmuley]

Getting some hype. Anyone else think he’ll underwhelm?

The new Chris Ralph.

 

[Ranchdawg]

In 2010 and 2011 would you trade Relf for Jefferson if he was around?

I would. Jefferson's QB rating has been 165 the last two years. I liked Relf but I can remember some wide open receivers that he missed. Chris' QB rating was 122 his senior year. He averaged 130.

 

[AstroDog]

He's a bad man! Gonna be a tough out any way you look at it.

Dak Prescott's QB rating was 151 his last two years for reference.

 

[BulldogLegacy]

Relf will always be my boy. Dude did more with less.

Agree. One of my top 5 players.

 

[Air Raid]

I think he's pretty good

I saw where he was movin' on up the rankings. Personally, I don't think that fish will fry in the heat of the SEC kitchen. This league is a tough hill to climb, and I would imagine it's going to take a whole lotta tryin' just for him to get up that hill. I mean, this being his senior year of playin up in the big leagues, a lot is expected of the young man. All you can really do is let him get his turn at bat and see what happens - there really ain't nothin wrong with that.

Dan Enos is the new OC at Arkansas.

For those that dont realize, Enos was the OC at Arkansas for the final 3 years of Bielema's tenure. I thought this was a very underwhelming retread hire by the Hogs.
