Jackson's future not as starter

So, what do you think?

Will Bernard Jackson be leading the offense next season?

You know, I've listened to and agree or partially agree with all I've heard about the reasons for a lack of success, with him being a freshman in experience while a junior in class standing, the pass blocking, the receivers and I do give Jackson some space on those issues.

However, in one man's opinion, that is still not enough leeway to explain the inadequate level of play nine games into the season.

Jackson appears to be accountable for all that, and I greatly admire the belief he has in himself and the perseverance he's shown but I believe he's cooked as a starter by mid-season next year, maybe much sooner.

Quarterback, as Eddie Crowder said here, is a technical position, and Jackson does not seem to be driving the offense like his skill level indicates he should be doing due to being technically-deficient

And, to me, quarterback is a "feel" position and Jackson lacks that idea of what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

Yeah, you might say, "what does he know" or "he's all wet" and I might very well be. Hey, I can admit I'm but a voice, one, but this is the worst quarterbacking I can ever remember in a Buffs' uniform, and by a guy who has serious skills. Go figure.

If your guy under center is not getting it done, the offense is stuck in neutral, as the CU offense has been all year.

Personally, with ANY sort of quarterback play this season, the Buffs have victories over Montana State, Colorado State, Georgia (with as well as B-Jack played), Baylor, and Kansas.

That's five more victories.

Only Arizona State, Missouri and Oklahoma would have required superior quarterback play.

Like I said, one voice.

Disagree?

Send your rips to the email below and be heard, amigos and amigas.

Cody Hawkins or Nic Nelson are the likely starters at some point next season. If one of them shows off in a big way with leadership and consistency making plays, Jackson becomes the backup. The question is does this begin to happen in the spring, the fall or during the 2007 season? It will happen. The question is when?

More on KU-CU later tonight.
