Got a Quarterback

I also think he can run when needed and while that may not be an RPO run first guy, I think he is the type that can create passing with his legs on roll outs and moving the picket type plays.

He may not be “the” guy as far as portal rankings go but I think he was at least very high on Mullins list of guys to get!
He's a tiny QB. If he keeps running like he does he's going to get his head handed to him sooner than later.
 
That's not entirely accurate... Sluka beat Hajj out after basically 3 weeks in camp. Hajj was here all Spring and summer. The fact that Sluka struggled with his passing in 2 road games vs Big 12 defenses is an aberration and because he walked away we will always have a jaded view and never got to see him get into real rhythm. There was certainly a talent gap and we got the most out of Hajj we could've expected but his struggles vs Boise and Cal show why he got beat by a guy with 3 weeks of practice... again, our judgement on the matter is skewed because Sluka quit.
Ehh, I think we saw enough from Sluka to know that he was a poor passing QB, but a great running QB.

With Hajj, he was an average passing QB, and an above average running QB. This combo served our team better, simply because we had Ricky White and needed to get him the ball.

Go back and RE-read!

I said he can create passing with his legs meaning he can buy time for WR’s to get open, not do a lot of designed QB runs.. there’s a difference in what I am saying and what you are thinking!

We may dislike him more because of it but it doesn’t make his passing better. I saw him play last year and said when he came that he could run but was an inaccurate passer and missed guys too many times for my comfort and we didn’t see anything to change that perception.

From a player standpoint, no, they didn’t think the gap was large and the receivers felt more comfortable with Hajj. Nobody is going to go on the record with that stuff, they can’t. I had some ins with summer practice and it wasn’t cut and dry with them as you might think. Maybe it was with the coaches, but not the guys who get touches.

My comment comes from watching game film. He's too aggressive for his size and unless he's lucky he won't last.
 
CAVS brought back a former Senior quarterback to compete with Colandrea this year and Colandrea beat him out as a sophomore. Reportedly he has a lot of confidence and tries to do everything by his self. TIME will tell.
