I also went down memory lane concerning our past QBs; what strikes the most is 50-40-30 years ago were completely different eras and can't be compared. Back then we had fullbacks, pocket passing, and other phases of the game that have completely changed. And we had more 1,000 rushers than one would think (in seasons of 11 games at most).
Emory Jones might be better than some, is worse than some, but mostly his comparison suffers from the severe drop-off in what we've come to expect from our team, a change of conferences and coaches at the same time, and one of the funkiest throwing motions I've ever seen from a QB. His history should have been a harbinger of what is happening now, and we shouldn't have been so surprised by his performance.
It's coach-speak to say EJ "gives us the best chance to win." I remember a RS-Freshman from not so long ago that performed pretty well; Brady L should play most of the rest of the season, and Brady D., along with other Frosh should have their eligibility managed while getting some valuable playing time now, also.
