Gonna need to wait until the first scrimmage before we really know anything about the hierarchy at the QB position/depth chart.

The more important question is as follows: how is he doing in the classroom?

BOB already answered that question.

Valid point. We all just have to wait and see with the grades and hope for the best. Just wanted to get a read on of he was looking sharp/rusty in the early stages, etc.

If he's not the best qb out there I don't really care what he does in the classroom. Unless ur saying he's that far ahead of the other two guys.

PSU needs Paul Jones to beat out the McGloin and Bolden. I can't stomach another year like the last two on offense. Plus as good as our front 7 has a chance to be on D, I'm concerned about the dbacks. The offense is going to have to score more than years past.

A better question is how bad was Curtis Dukes doing to warrant no spring practice? Doesn't sound like a University decision but rather a BOB decision.

Yeah but have you seen DOB throw the ball? Probably half the uncle ricos like me throwing the ball around in the lots before a game could scare DOB away.

Expect with our QB coaches and BOB for all our QBs to look better. Hoping it makes a big difference.

It can't get much worse. Realistically, the QB play should be improved based on better tutelage but how much better is hard to say. IMO McGloin has already hit his ceiling and I'm not sure how much Bolden can be helped. It would be awesome if PJ could win the job but I'm not holding my breath.

PJ has by far the best arm, and size of all our QB. His deep ball does not flutter like RB's, and it can get well past 40 yards, unlike MM's. The kid also has surprisingly good running ability when he needs it.
Ability wise, it's like comparing Andrew Luck to Caleb Hanie and Josh Johnson. The biggest question remains if that ability can transulate to the field.

So how well does Jones' playing style fit into BO'B's type of system? Given his athletic ability and assuming he can stay eligible, will he be a natural fit for the game BOB runs or will we be fitting a square peg in a round hole because he's the best option we've got?
