The size and speed of SMU will be very challenging for us. I actually don't like games against top FBS powers. I know we need the paycheck but, if the game results in a blowout like Washington last year along with a higher chance of players getting injured, I'm not sure it's worth it.

I base most of my opinion on what I saw in the spring. I like Cleeland. He is a good young developmental player. His play is to be expected at this point in his career. But let’s be honest here, we have played two avg to poor teams and his play has not been earth shattering. It’s been ok. He has shown no running ability with zero rushing yards in two games. He has missed on a handful of throws to open receivers and has been baited into interceptions by DBs. If he cannot run, he will need to be better at his reads and accuracy in the future. Let’s see how he does against superior competition. I still think Kollack is the better overall QB right now.

He's awful

What do you like about Kollock? He isn’t a runner either. What is his differential?

Cleeland has been baited into exactly one interception; he didn’t see that the guy making the interception was in position to make the play and threw a ball with not enough pace on it. Not unexpected from a player in his second start.
Biggs says Cleeland is among the best that we’ve had at throwing the deep ball, that is high praise as it includes quite a few players that were drafted and played professionally.

Just from my observation from practices, Jackson has the frame and size of a big time QB. His height allows him to see over the line and get balls off more cleanly. I did see him run multiple times with success. He has a pretty good arm too. I think he has the higher ceiling overall.

I’m not advocating benching Cleveland, he is doing fine, but I’m also not buying the hype of his performances being “the best Aggie QB to…” throw a deep ball, run, lead etc. Because for every good throw he makes, he also misses on others that should be routine. The next three games should provide more insight.
