What are your thoughts about KJ moving forward? Let us know in comments below!! IMO, if get him comfortable again, we can see the throws that we showed in the video
KJ has been off his timing this whole year. He did not attend spring training because he was training with a professional (probably for the nfl). His footwork is all off compared to last year which is slowing the play down. If you watch plays from last year to this year, he used to stand with his feet together and just turn to his throwing stance. This year he stands with his right foot back and will take a few steps back. He also doesn’t seem to have the strength throwing the ball like he did last year. Several deeper balls that he has thrown just float to their target and even his shorter throws seem to not have the zip that they had last year. Another issue that the announcers pointed out in last weeks game that the receivers run patterns together and continue to stay within five yards of each other. As the announcer pointed out this allows one defensive player to cover both of them. On another note, why don’t we have a damn tush push play in our playbook?! 4th and 1 and you want to try and get a first by lining up in the gun 5 or so yards back from the ball? WTH!!! As a matter of fact why don’t we have more plays under center in the playbook?
@richardbaker_0086 stop it..... he's the most accurate qb in school history. He also didn't have OLs stocked with future NFL guys like Allen, Wilson and Mallett did either.
Enos offense in Maryland set many B10 conference records in 2022. What's the difference in Arkansas? The players and specifically their QB. After five years he is still the same. I can't believe he was rated a five star recruit out of high school. But, you can't fire the student athlete. And how in the world did Bama's defense which shutout the Vols in the second half allow this guy to look like Joe Montana the week before. Jeckle and Hyde thing going on.
KJ is definitely "off his game" this year. But why wouldn't he be? I would be a bit nervous too if I knew that 3 out of 5 times I was going to get hit because the "O" line is incapable of pass protection (or opening holes for the running backs either, for that matter).
Also if kj doesn't start running or make faster reads look off defenders etc hes so damn slow in pocket his footwork is terrible, try someone new if 1st half he doesn't clean it up look to future get them ready honestly think third string singleton has most talent overall sick of this bs love breakdown btw
KJ Jefferson is way overrated by the sports media. He is an adequate quarterback, not a great quarterback. He does not have the keenness or instinct to find an open receiver while under pressure, instead, he runs the ball. He may get away with this playing college teams but he will be destroyed in the pro’s. He is not a precision passer.
I think that is a fair take, I may have a bit more optimism if he is in a system that fits him and is surrounded by some playmakers at the wideout position, but that can be said about a lot of QB's. Fair take Mike
Sams got to go love him as a person but this is his fault he didn't step in when he needed to our o line is horrendous his specialty horrible in game tactics over his head get a young offensive mind in the vein of petrino not him but Washington oc or Oklahoma oc maybe Rhett lashlee
KJ jefferson is a mediocre quarterback, at best. He's never been good. "Vertical shots"? Lol The guy is good at one thing: when there's an open ten yards up the middle he'll get ten yards. That's it.
Yes and best QBR in razorback history and holds plenty of QB records as of this year, but yea "mediocre" is what comes to mind. Getting 10 yards every play sounds pretty fucking good to me.
The amount of stupid in this comment section is staggering! Y’all are sharp as a bowling ball! Great video Steven. KJ is a great QB. The Enos offense is garbage, and NO ONE would even be mediocre under D.E.’s offense.
Agreed. Blows my mind that he has always been a top qb in the sec but now he’s bad all of the sudden. They probably think the same thing about rocket too. Not saying he’s better this year than he was last year, but the reason he’s been off is because of the line and play calling.
Thank you! There have been some good comments as well.... I think for other people it is easy to forget all the good he has done the previous 2 seasons. I would encourage them to go back and watch the film. Thanks for watching!
Didn't know enos was throwing the passes, reading defenses or going through wr progressions. Bench kj for the rest of the season. No way we can win out with kj. Give Criswell a chance.
haven't watched the last 3 years of KJ playing ball. Switched to a new offensive scheme and has seen a down year, which is entirely possible and happens often if the QB doesn't mesh with the system. Also, the receivers are running routes into the same zone coverage as well as having separation issues. Lastly, go ahead and let me know if a backup QB is going to succeed with the same bad OL, Receivers, and subsequent play-calling (Dan Enos has been fired lol). KJ before this game was doing what he could and had us in games along with the defense. Funny how you'll scapegoat the black qb tho.
@@jofra501 he got his NIL money. He doesn't care about winning anymore. Briles had to dumb down his scheme to suit KJ mental faculties. Briles left to get away from KJ.

I totally hear ya about the 4tth and 1 and not having the "tush push", KJ is the perfect size QB for that!
thanks for watching and adding your points!
In every example that you gave, the offensive line provided protection for KJ. Haven’t seen that these year.
very good point and you are correct
Bs. He makes terrible decisions and terrible throws even when he has time.

He was a 4 star coming out of High School. You need to get off him and show some respect
That wasn't Enos Offense. That was Head Coach Mike Locksley's offense. He called the plays.
KJ is definitely "off his game" this year. But why wouldn't he be? I would be a bit nervous too if I knew that 3 out of 5 times I was going to get hit because the "O" line is incapable of pass protection (or opening holes for the running backs either, for that matter).
agreed, that will mess with a QB
So sit his ass down and give the next guy a shot. He sux this year.
@@richardbaker_0086I don't think anyone who writes "sux" has a valid opinion about anything.
What was missing was a QB that can read a defense and hit open recievers
Also if kj doesn't start running or make faster reads look off defenders etc hes so damn slow in pocket his footwork is terrible, try someone new if 1st half he doesn't clean it up look to future get them ready honestly think third string singleton has most talent overall sick of this bs love breakdown btw
thank you and thanks for watching!
KJ isn’t as quick as he was in previous seasons. He needs to lose 20 pounds. Rocket Sanders needs to be on the same diet.
To be fair.. I don't think Arkansas has the receivers to get open down field.
I agree with you, at least with the offense being ran, the wideouts have not been able to separate
They need to get rid of Cody Kennedy next
Worst offensive season. The miss st game was beyond pathetic
Need. Better. OL.
with out a doubt
The laces were IN, Dan!!
THIS was funny AH. Excellent. 🤣
enos take KJ with you
they play 4 lineman and 7covering receivers.If we had a running game they would not play us deep
KJ sux
KJ = Quitter

The replies in here are pathetic but your’s takes the cake… I would say more but what’s the point, it won’t cut through the stupid to reach you.

@@jofra501 I would take 10yds each play too, thanks for watching!
He's mainly a runner not a qb another dumb guy will not survive in the nfl
@@jofra501best QB Arkansas had was the big tall Ryan mallet with petrino if I remember correctly. Those offenses were scary. This guy sucks

Too slow this year. Mentally and physically
KJ has no time. NONE. How can he take shots? C'mon
need to fire Pittman too.

@jofra3147 would you expect anything less from these saltines?
KJ is done. He has his red Corvette.
GET PETRINO BACK
He would totally come back... for 2 seconds.
