EJ has a built in excuse for this. "This is what happens when you sign the #1 overall in 2026, Bryce Underwood". Doesn't matter, ND needed big in 2027 and it appears Teddy is big.

Nvm, I'm dumb, Bryce was 2025. Eat shit EJ!

Really like Jarrard as a passer coming off his sophomore year, but based off his stats, this as a square peg in the round hole of a Denbrock offense that requires a qb as a running threat to be at its most potent. Does this signal an offense scheme change or is he a better running threat/ athlete than what he's shown?

Interesting take. There is merit to it though

It's possible they're gearing the offense to more rpo based and less QB run. Maybe that's their way to limit hits on the QB.

I don't necessarily agree that Denbrock needs a duel threat QB. I think we are just looking at recent QBs he has had. Riddler, Daniels, Leonard were runners. But RIddler wasn't a great runner, could keep you honest, Daniels was freakin good all around, Leonard great runner but bad thrower. I think as long as the QB is an adequate+ runner, he fits the system. I think any of our current QBs fit that mold as does Teddy. Teddy also shows great pocket mobility. Now if we want to talk about how Grubbs fit the scheme...

People worry wayy too much about running ability in my opinion. If a kid can move around a bit, has a good arm, and a brain to make good decisions he can run just about any offense this side of the veer.

I'll take a kid who can throw but isn't good at running 10/10 times over the reverse.

To your latter point, no idea if he's a better athlete than he appears. But I would guess/hope he shows up to South Bend as a better athlete than he was during his sophomore season of high school football

Exactly. If you look at his tape, he's not Lamar Jackson, but he can scoot if he needs to (with a 40+ yard touchdown run at the 3:30 mark). But QB rushing stats is a mix of ability + playcalling. If they're not calling read option plays or QB runs, he's not going to get the yards. Also there was plenty of opportunity for him to take off and get more yards scrambling from watching his tape, but he kept his eyes down field and got the ball to his WRs, and one of my biggest qualms with Leonard was him not doing that (especially early in the season).

Notre Dame has had a “mobile” QB multiple times over the last 10-15 years and they’ve struggled to consistently throw the ball every time.

Jarrard seems to have Ian Book-like mobility, to pair with a high level college football arm. A great combo to have.

Pocket mobility, pocket awareness, keeping on schedule, move the chains. All that is needed…and I LOVE MOBILE qbs. But the same convo wld be with Houston. With his size, would be a huge risk to design qb runs

Its tough to imagine him not being a very productive college QB. His mechanics are great and he throws such a pretty ball. May not have Deuce Knight-esque upside as a 1,000 yard runner but he's just a great thrower of the football.

His 3 star rating is just outdated. He is going to be a high 4 or 5. One of the 247 guys (or maybe it was ON3 not sure) said he may be the top QB in the class by next year. Those offers don't lie.

I don't see him running much QB power.

I do see him as enough of a running threat to not allow defenses to leave him unaccounted for.

People are going to hate this, but he reminds me of Zach Wilson's college film. He's mobile and athletic enough to forces teams to be honest.

I agree on the size being an impact. I felt that way about Hebert too. A QB’s ability to get tough yards matters more than his quickness a lot of the time.

Heck no there isn't. He was the consensus number 2 player in the draft. The Niners traded how many picks hoping he'd fall to three?
