You want to slow down the momentum running through a star players brain — just remind him that he’s not really that great yet.
Cardale Jones vaulted onto the scene last season — improving from a third-string quarterback and finishing as a National Champion.
In an interview with SI.com — Meyer refused to buy into the growing hype — saying that the quarterback is “a steady work in progress.”
He’s a 22-year-old man that once in a while reverts back to a 16-, 17-year-old mentality. He’s a genuine, great kid that has been interesting. This is psychology 101. There should be a chapter on Cardale Jones. His support back home is phenomenal, Ted Ginn, Michelle Nash, his mom, and it’s every day. Imagine having this conversation a year ago, two years ago. You’re going to have a crystal ball on this table and you’re going to put it to Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon, and he’ll be your quarterback.
We’ll see the work in progess continues to mature during the quarterback competition of the century.
