But, I am willing to bet you any amount of money that he will be the starting QB for Lamar before the season is over and he will have success. I know what the coaches(LU) and scouts(at camps) have told me personally about JJ. I'll take their word over yours about him any day. ;) My point was that he will not play like Bevil like you stated. He will utilize his athletic skills to make plays, something that Bevil could not do. JJ's 4.38 forty is just the start of his advantage athletically over Bevil and the rest of the QB's. Bevil runs a 4.8. ;) [b]You will soon find out.[/b] [/quote] I hope you have to eat your words on this one. I'll believe it when I see it though. I'm not impressed by 40 times honestly because football isn't played in a straight line. The fact is, no one has seen him play in a year. I'm sure he was well conditioned at WVU, but those are the only assumptions I can make. Hopefully the DII and NAIA teams will be a good warm-up for him before he gets to the DI competition, and then we'll see how he does (assuming he'll start). Go back and look at old posts on this board and all you see is raves about how athletic Bevil was. Like Geezer said earlier, he may have just gotten  happy feet, there's no guarantee JJ won't be the same way [/quote] So I take it that you don't want to make a wager on this?

[quote name="JJWooten" post="1012062" timestamp="1305672083"] [quote author=geezer link=topic=84353.msg1012057#msg1012057 date=1305671431] I think Bevil got a bad case of what I believe the pros call happy feet.  That is when a qb looses faith in his line to protect him and starts heaving the ball just to get rid of it and avoid the sac or the bruising from all of the hits.  Not standing up for Bevil but there have been many outstanding college qbs fail in the pros for that reason.  [b]David Carr and the Texans are just one example I can think of.[/b] [/quote] Perhaps one of the best examples too! AAW, JJ has never played a collegiate game, you don't know what he will do. Silsbee high school and the competition in Class 3A are not even close to Lamar football and the SLC. Just because he was successful in HS doesn't mean it will translate to success on the field in college. [/quote] Of course, there are no guarantees that he will succeed at the college level.

[/quote] I think I know who one of those fill-ins will be. ;)

A slight correction on Toby's new job. He will not be the offensive co.. His position has yet to be named. He will be an assistant and head track coach.

It seemed to me that they went with the Pruit kid from Kelly to end the season last year. Bevil was at wideout so he was obviously healthy enough to play. Just curious what the deal was with that. In the spring game they were rotating all qbs but it seemed like JJ and Bevil took most of the snaps. [/quote] I watched a few games last year when they weren't overlapped with Sam games. Bevil was awful. I don't know how he put up such big numbers in those first few games, but after about 3 games, he collapsed. I like Pruit, he seemed to be a good leader. He was calm and controlled and didn't just throw the ball up like Bevil did. JJ seems like he could be a good QB, as long as he doesn't have the same problems Bevil does. A lot of times, kids with big arms like that just throw the ball down field and hope that someone catches it. I think with him being out of the game for a year, plus the little tape I saw on him from his senior year at Silsbee, [b]he may have Bevil Syndrome, but I don't know.[/b] [/quote] Not even close. If the play isn't there, JJ will use his legs more times than his arm.

Also, Toby's dad, defensive secondary coach for WOS Mark Foreman, will be retiring. Good luck Toby in your new job and best wishes. Also, to Mark, congrats on your retirement. Looks like Cornel has 3 jobs to fill now, DC, OC and secondary.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1011691" timestamp="1305603065"] JJ will be starter.  That is a fact!!!! ;) ;) [/quote] ;) ;D :-X

[quote name="Sportsman5" post="1011608" timestamp="1305582714"] Josh Mitchell, hometown boy from lumberton and did very well this yr at deweyville and brought a different attitude to the girls basketball program this yr!! [/quote] I agree. Josh would do quite well at Lumberton.

Nelson is an Aggie, played during the vaunted 3-4 Wrecking Crew days (which seems to be coming back ;)). No surprise here.

[quote name="MORI" post="1011676" timestamp="1305599597"] Not buying season tickets until RW and staff name a starter. No way I'm watching Bevil lead that offense again.  [b]JJ has to be a bigger threat to a defense?[/b] [/quote] ;) :-X

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1011639" timestamp="1305592072"] Just as much as you can, get an early start on Thursday.  Hwy 290 is NOT a freeway you want to be hitting after 5pm [/quote] Probably won't get an additional night, but still thinking about it. Driving to New Caney Thursday night won't be that bad, it's the drive back home that night that may lead me to driving over to Jersey Village and staying the extra night. If not, I will be getting to my hotel in Jersey Village on Friday by 1pm that day to avoid the traffic.
