Add the fact that KOC wanted him and he was a consensus top 3 QB in a generational draft made me want him as our QBOTF even more. Once that dream died, JJ was my guy. Just loved his moxie and confidence. The only thing that prevented him from being up there with Maye for me was the lack of opportunities in the passing game. I thought that might delay his development, but boy it seems I was way off.
Here's to hoping a long career in purple for our boy JJ.
This is exactly how I felt and still feel. Penix wilted in the big game and had bad medicals. I personally would have taken the other 5 guys ahead of him pretty easily, and still would.
