The reporting on the QB battle is stupid. Reporters can only see the first 30 mins of practice which is never anything even remotely live. They don't even see 7v7s, much less 11v11s. Jarren excels in this situation as he has the most arm talent. But in the scrimmages Tate and N'Kosi's advantages over Jarren balance everything out, and it's why the battle is so close between all three. Tate doesn't have the arm talent of the other two, but he's the best with his legs, extending plays, does hit certain passes with consistency, and keeps the chains moving and apparently is the best at reading defenses. N'Kosi is essentially the balance between the two. The big arm, the mobility, but he has ball security and accuracy issues. Jarren's perfect accuracy that everyone sees in these drills falls off in live play and he makes some reckless decisions, and is the least mobile. The journalists (aside from Barry Jackson who has people inside the program talking to him) are being irresponsible in how they're reporting the battle.
The good news is that everyone agrees that the level of play from the position this spring and summer is the best since Kaaya left, and we run an actual offense now. I'll be happy with whoever takes the first snap in two weeks as all are D1 starters and they've been working their ass off. Also, this battle won't be done until a few games into the season.
