Jake was nowhere near the passer Manziel is, on the run or from the pocket. He also seemed to wilt in big situations. Locker, and I liked the guy, more often than not found ways to come up small when it counted[/b].
i respect your opinion, but i actually disagree on this based on Jake keeping us close with Ohio State single handedly, pulling that epic win against USC after he was crushed by Shareece Wright, and a few other games against Oregon, BYU and WSU. I personally think the "stepping up in big games wilting thing" is actually more a product of both Ty completely leaving Jake on his own while the rest of the team boycotted and then the Sark forcing everyone into a system that didn't align with Jake's skills. He rotted with us.
Agree. He shit the bed against Nebraska twice (they shit it worse the second time). He never really did aside from those games though. He was never a good quarterback, but wasn't any worse in the clutch than out of it. Could be argued that he stepped up a bit.
Sark > Ty statement...Locker came up with more big plays in tight games than our current QB has (anything is more than zero, I know).
