for a moment. Has Jake been disappointing? Yes. I was as mad as anyone when he threw the pick in the end zone yesterday. I also know they called two consecutive plays where Jake had half the field taken away from him on a roll out and then a 50-50 ball. But still mad.
But at the end of the day is it worth it to drag the kid through the mud like we are doing? Jake chose to be a Gamecock and I’m glad about that. It’s obvious he has potential to play the position as we have seen it at times.
More importantly, Jake is a 20 year old kid. Wouldn’t shock me at all if he read message boards, Twitter, etc to see what’s being said about him. How do we know Jake doesn’t deal with depression? How do we know Jake isn’t at the lowest moment of his life? Honestly, ask yourself if it is worth it to trash the kid over and over?
One thing to voice your displeasure or to say someone else should start. But a lot of this goes further than that, and I just don’t think it’s worth it.
Glad Jake is at SC. He’s certainly better than a lot of the QBs we’ve thrown out there in our history. He’s one of the reasons we had high expectations the past couple of seasons. It stinks to see things not clicking and going well. But I still like the kid.
