After a day of the JT Daniels show on Saturday, we saw a return to the competition’s regularly scheduled programming on a day without many exceptional moments. The group performed solidly for the most part, with JT taking the lion’s share of the reps (not an indication of anything according to Coach Helton) and Sears taking the second most. Nothing we say today from any of the 3 signal callers changes the standing of the competition at this point.
JT Daniels: B+
Daniels came down to earth a bit today after his monster performance at Saturday’s scrimmage. He missed on a handful of throws he definitely should’ve hit, all 3 of them uncharacteristically overthrown over open recievers. He also threw the only pick of the day on a ball that was meant to be a throw away until Ajene Harris pulled an incredible toe drag on the sideline to snag it. Aside from those miscues, Daniels was solid on the day, completing a vast majority of his passes, doing an impressive job of progressing through his reads and getting the ball to the open man. He had moments of success deep, including two well thrown post routes to Randall Grimes and Devon Williams. On his last throw of the day however, he flashed the inhuman accuracy we saw from him on Saturday, putting an incredible back shoulder throw to Tyler Vaughns on a rope up the sideline right through two defenders. Daniels is squarely leading the race for QB1, and nothing we saw from him today took away from that.
Jack Sears: B
Jack Sears had a nice today, picking up where he left off from the second act of the scrimmage on Saturday. He did a good job working through his progressions and firing on the open man for much of the day, completing most of his balls across the middle. He flashed his ability to make throws out of the pocket, throwing a pair of well placed darts towards the sideline after rolling out. He busted out the cannon today as well to make sure we didn’t forget about it, hitting Velus jones 40 yards down the field on a gorgeous bomb up the seam. Even though he had a good day for the most part, a lot of the issues that seemed to plague him Saturday hadn’t been remedied. He still held on to the ball much longer than he should’ve, and his misses tended to be head-scratchingly off the mark. Good days like this from Sears are nice, but it’s not enough to put him back in the conversation for the starting spot.
Matt Fink: B-
Matt Fink threw less than 10 balls against a defense today, so there isn’t much to work off of when giving him a grade. On the reps that he did get, he didn’t do much to warrant a second look, only completing one pass past ten yards in all his attempts. Admittedly, it was a good throw, coming on a curl route for Tyler Vaughns over the head of a defender, but once again it’s just not enough. Fink is quickly becoming an afterthought in this race, and unless he starts balling out very soon, he might not warrant a paragraph in this segment anymore.
