Yes, Blake was higher rated than AJ an Croyle. Considering both were in their first game the coaches will look at execution no matter what period of the game. I am hearing Blake was only effective because he was in mop up, that he was nervous at the start and would not have settled down......subjective. That the team played harder for Jalen.....subjective.
The question, not ESPN's highlight reels. Does Jalen's feet beat our RB's vs a less mobile quarterback with potentially a better arm and an array of NFL receivers.
Hypothetically, last year, with Henry, would Jalen have been more productive running TD's assuming Coker had a stronger more accurate arm with the caliber of receiver's. That is what we will find out and what the coaches will look at imo. Consistency putting the ball in the the best RB or receiver's hands the best way to get it there. And there are many. The more productive playmakers in the game increases your winning percentage imo.
The stereotype of the 2 QB's, and that is all there is (sorry Bateman) will be defined much more in 3 weeks.
