What are the odds James Blackman could be looked at as a future QB at FAU?
He's played under Taggart… may do better in this conference and in this school scenario.

Thoughts?

And any knowledge of who we may be targeting at QB now that Sanders has moved on to his dad's field?

Definitely wouldnt be surprised if he ends up here, he was at one time committed to FAU before he flipped to FSU.

Blackmon is the worst QB I’ve ever seen. I think his best chance is a FCS school, you know the ones that are still NCAA just with fewer scholarships. I wouldn’t want to mess that up. 

Some of the Taggart on Blackman File…

On Winning out the Job Over Hornibrook

“We evaluated it the entire training camp from a statistical standpoint, but also just getting our guys to play, the entire offense to play consistently was a big part of it,” Taggart said.

“And then just getting a good feel for who has this football team. And I think James, when it comes to that part of it, James has the football team.”

After the 22-20 Wake Forest Loss

"I thought James did well in the game. You know, I thought he did a good job of distributing the ball to his teammates. I think James completed 71 percent of his passes, which was big time for us. He had an interception where he got hit and maybe if he wouldn’t have got hit, he would have completed a ball over the linebacker there. I thought James played well enough for us to win. You know, just again, we didn’t execute in other areas that kind of cost us. But I thought — there were some plays he could have made to help us, yeah, I think that’s each and every week."

"I don’t think anybody is perfect. But there was also some plays that some teammates could have helped, too, that could have been big plays. So it goes both hand in hand. But I thought overall James did well enough for us to win the ballgame."

After Bad Throws Against Virginia

"James, again, James has some throws that he wishes he could've had back, could've helped our football team. Looking to see him improve from there. And Alex has been doing a good job for us. We have some plays and things where we want to be able to get Alex in, let him run some of those plays. Hopefully we get a chance to do that."


All of this said, he's been accused in various media capacities of not hitting his check downs, and missing open targets in game play.

Also, it is worth noting that Taggart opted to bring in a transfer after Blackman had his chance at running the team.

It would seem improbable that Blackman would land at FAU under a Taggart led program while there will be plenty of other portal prospects to choose from.

I would much rather groom what we have than take in a very unsuccessful  acc qb.  Not an improvement.

Blackmon playing under 4th OC in 4 years. Last year had QB rating of 142 in ACC, Robison 144 in CUSA, just to post some facts/stats.

Not saying we should or should not bring him in IF he were to want to.

Much agreed.

It is also important to remember Balckman was not even originally recruited by Taggart.


We will be in a great position to land a quality QB with us being a good team and the selling point of ''its your job to lose.''

Could James Blackman be that much worse than the current options?

Blackman would be meh and draw national criticism, but they need to shoot for better.
