If anyone was going to sign him i'm glad it was a team who's head coach has a Bear Bryant portrait hung directly behind his desk in his office.

Coach Arians

Off topic, but can you believe Mike DuBose (formally known as Mike Dubose) basically laid the blame for the auburn loss on Bruce. How we ever hired that Mike is beyond me. I think Bruce was one of the 1st to realize what was coming.

Is it me or does it sound like Arians is not high on Matt Barkley?

Bruce Arians didn't fumble the ball. That could have happened with a QB/Center exchange or after a hand off to an RB. Arians should have never been fired, for sure.

The thing that I think held Coker back was fear of failure.

You have hit on something, not sure how to define it, but he seems to have a large breaking point, which could be seen as complacent by shallow minded coaches that don't look deeply. Blake had the team locked up, looking back that was a hard situation for him to overcome, as a newby vs 5th year senior. The benching was just uncalled for imo, and I think the coaches know that.

The truth: Poorly scouted, Arians was smart, he got draft picks and picked up the better mid to late round quarterback imo. Jake has two siblings that are/ will be officer's in the military, sounds more like discipline and maturity more than complacency considering his improvement.

But yes, many a scout saw Jake as a stereotypical laid back, deep hunting, rather be fishing, country boy without realizing what they say. "A country boy will survive" His calm under pressure, size, durabilty, arm and likability would prevail. Jake's mind was not scouted correctly imo.
