King could be Johnny football, remains to be seen.
My point was that Jimbo has been on a terrible run of evaluations at QB for almost a decade and it along with drama at home and a failure to recruit and develop an OL killed his run at FSU and has stunted his rebuild at A&M so far.
A top 10 QB last year and A&M is probably in the playoffs.

King's upcoming performance is pure, abject speculation at this point. I just don't get the strange confidence as there is almost zero evidence beyond message board ramblings to support he is going to be a more effective downfield passer than Mond.
The last clips we have of him are one garbage time drive against 'Bama where he threw an interception. Prior to that, he had a fairly mediocre senior year of high school when he had multiple meltdowns and showed a tendency to throw straight into double and triple coverage. I have heard this explained away as he was injured but the team never confirmed that.
He is obviously a very, very good athlete but so was Mond before Jimbo locked him down. We forget in his freshman year he ripped off multiple 50+ yard runs.
I hope King is everything we hoped for but the past does not support the extreme confidence that we are somehow trading up.
Remember these games?
Jesuit Beats Longview
quote:
The Lobos finished with 180 yards on 32 carries with 118 passing yards. Lobo quarterback Haynes King finished 5-of-17 for 118 yards and an interception and had dropped passes from his receivers, especially early.
“We just didn’t execute very well whether it was penalties, errant throws or dropped balls,” John King said.
The ESPN game against John Tyler
quote:
The Lions actually played well in the secondary against highly touted Longview quarterback Haynes King, a Texas A&M commit. JT picked off three of King’s passes — one each by Kitan Crawford, the Texas commit, Isaiah Johnson and D’Jonte Henderson. Tyrone Williams also recovered a Lobo fumble.
King connected on 8 of 18 passing attempts for 110 yards.
The recent spring game?
Haynes King looks crappy in Spring Game
quote:
aynes King’s Saturday could’ve easily ended with an interception and a limp to the injury tent.
If that were to describe a Saturday in October, King would be facing a good amount of heat. It wasn’t. King, in a non-contact green No. 13 uniform, was somehow banged up twice during Texas A&M’s spring game on Saturday. It was by no means an “I’m the man, let’s go” type of performance for King.
It was full of reminders that a quarterback who throws 3 interceptions and takes 7 total sacks in a season is a luxury.
