This kid might end up to be a flash in the pan, but he's gonna be a bright flash:

Gotta give him credit.  I hope the guy makes it.  He's fun to watch.  I've heard a ton of critics say there's no way he'll succeed as a pro QB, because of both his size and his tendency to take off every chance he gets.  He may not make it.  Don't know and I've quit trying to predict these things.  But watching him do what he did against Duke in the bowl game was off the chizzain.  Probably won't translate to the pros but it'd be fun to watch if he could make it happen.

Meh...he's no Cam Newton

Perfect analogy for why a lot of people don't like JFF.  I would venture a guess that 90% or 17/22nds of the people outside of AU fans couldn't stand Cam while he played.  Even before the $Camdal.  He kept getting larger than life with each game.  He led the charge at the start of the fourth quarter, taking the team down to get the fans pumped up.  He was always in the crowd after every win.  He had the big smile.  (Damn, I miss that man)  They hated him because they didn't have him.  Same with JFF.  If he's your JFF, he's the greatest that ever lived.  If not, he's a spoiled, cocky, little cheatin' bitch.

I give props when props are do.  I think he will be Tebow redux.

I think a lot of that has do with what team drafts him. If in time you don't put some good people around him he will get killed. Like him or not Troy Aikman only got better as the Cowboys got better. If during the same time he was on the  Bucs or Redskins I don't think he makes the hall of fame.

Honestly, I'm witcha'.  Really have my doubts that he'll make it.  At least for the long run.  Not to say he won't go RGIII1/2 for a bit. He's got those kinds of skillz.  But over the long run...

I just think he's incredible to watch and hope he proves a lot of experts wrong.

Well, I disagree slightly. Foozball can at least throw the ball in a 5 yard perimeter of his WR. If Foozball has some competent receivers then he will prolly last a good bit longer. The problem I see here is if ole Johnny lands on a team that has shit for an OL, he is done for. Auburn had a not so great D last year and he spent the remainder of the year hurt after he played AU.
