Title: A good ESPN article on Jacob Coker Post by: 2Stater on February 10, 2014, 09:00:08 PM http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10428327/jacob-coker-work-do-alabama
Quote He went to Florida State to become the starting quarterback, and after three years, he saw the opportunity pass him by. It was a close race last season, coaches and teammates insist, but as the rest of college football found out, holding Jameis Winston down is next to impossible. His season will go down in history; Coker's will be easily forgotten. He was just the guy slapping the Heisman Trophy winner's hand as he came off the field. But an amazing thing happened during the latter part of Florida State's run toward the national championship. Coker, the forgotten loser of a long-forgotten quarterback competition, began grabbing the country's attention. A redshirt sophomore on the verge of graduating, he became one of the most sought-after transfers in college football. Looking forward to seeing him in the fall. From the article, it would appear that he definitely has the skills, just needs the practice.

I know the coaches can't work with the players in the off season but will any of the other QBs on the team be willing to step up and work with him. Where is AJ when we need him?

If he has the skills we think he has, then mostly he will have to learn the playbook and work on timing with the receivers. There are probably several receivers who would be willing to catch some balls for him. |
