Omar Jacobs

Ok i dont watch much collage football but I do remember everybody was super high on this guy and now I hear nothing about him. Why is this???

 

[Roman529]

I think Omar and Bowling Green have kind of fallen off this year.....just like everyone was talking about Kyle Orton last year as a Heisman QB at Purdue...you have a bad senior year and you drop off the map.

Alot of people was just looking for a future quarterback. Jacobs plays against below average teams and he isn't doing anything this year. He had one good year last year and everyone wanted to pump him up but I don't see these people anymore.

Ask yourself, what is Mike Vicks worth going to be in 3 years or so, when he isnt as

Its because he's not a QB. He's an athlete, that plays the position of QB. Their is a difference. Vick gets away with it, because he's Barry Sanders with the rock. No other "running "QB"' can do what Vick can do, and mad propers to him for it. However, I think it is a phase the NFL is going threw. Remember the hoopla over the one back offense, the mouse davis run n shoot, remember the craze on small backs, on smaller quicker recievers? All phases. All trends. The era of the triple threat "QB" will eventually fade away just as the others have. As long as real QB's like Eli Manning, Byron Leftwich continue to emerge it will wither and die. Ask yourself, what is Mike Vicks worth going to be in 3 years or so, when he isnt as fast, when he cant get by with his athelitic abilty? Atlanta will be in the QB hunt, just like every other team that puts its stock in these types of "QB's". ..as alwasy ..imo.

Great post. One of the best I've seen.

It's an extremely simple answer. Omar isn't as good as his numbers if you have to translate his actual skill into the NFL.

What at all....does this.......have to do with Omar Jacobs?


nothing.

 

[gator_sensation]

I totally agree about Vick. He was horrible throwing the ball last week. Gus looked like a Hall of Famer last week (ok, maybe not exactly, but you get the point). Without his legs, Vick will be a 3rd stringer. Once Vick get around 28-30 and his speed slips, he will be holding a clipboard somewhere.

Are you kidding me?

Have you watched any games featuring Omar Jacobs? The guy is pass first, run maybe. He's not a running quarterback by any means, but he can if he needs to. He has a strong arm albeit weak mechanics but he can still rocket the ball down the field with accuracy. The guy plays with marginal talent so it equals out against marginal opponents. His receivers are decent for MAC, but by no means are they that good.

He's not rated the second best quarterback by many top draft websites for nothing, he has the intangibles to be a great quarterback, he just needs someone to work with him. Bowling Green has this "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, and let Omar go out every week and light things up. If they actually tried to work on his footwork/mechanics, you would see an even better player.

He injured his non-throwing shoulder, so we'll have to see how he bounces back. He's certaintly no polished QB, but to call him a running QB? Unfair. You want a running quarterback look no furthur than Vince Young or Marcus Vick.

Yea, actually that was maybe the worst most uninformed posts i've ever seen.

You mean like McNair who evolved from running QB to leauge MVP?

The team has played like **** this year and he has been hurt for the past 2 games. The numbers are still there, but a combo of bad luck and that injury has him probably coming back for next year. He'll still be a prospect when his time comes.

Thats your opinion. People like Vick will spend more time on the IR than on the feild and throw in that he can only throw to his left Schaub is their better qb. Jacobs will be a prospect because he had one good year you can have him I'd rather have a dependable qb.
