Jimmy, I tend to agree with Steve W on this one. He was highly heralded out of high school. He was projected to be the #1 pick after his senior year, but he decided to forego his last year of high school and try his talent at USC.

Jimmy, I tend to agree with Steve W on this one. He was highly heralded out of high school. He was projected to be the #1 pick after his senior year, but he decided to forego his last year of high school and try his talent at USC. That was a big mistake and I would tell ANY high school junior QB to take the extra year to play. Going to D1, even more so the P5, as a junior, is an almost impossible task. I don't think Helton did JT any favors starting him his first year. Now that he has been injured a few times I'm not sure he'll ever play with the promise we all thought he had. Hell, Georgia put him in a counseling program for a year, and it did not seem to help. I think he has a lot of talent and HAD a lot of promise, but I think the promise has faded. Jack Plummer will be a solid journeyman QB for us, a lot like Davis Webb. Plummer won't be a superstar, but he should be steady and hopefully he doesn't make as many mistakes as Davis Webb made in Franklin's uptempo offense where he ended up throwing a LOT of untimely INT's. We also have two younger guys with a lot of promise, and the more I read about Milner, he has the makings of a really good QB. I think JT would be a distraction, although I wish him all the luck where ever he goes. He really deserves a chance to shine somewhere.

Cool...I do like what I've seen from Plummer....just hope Millner sticks around if Plummer wins the job...
