He insists the NFL opportunity is not on his mind, though it's only one year away, but he also has seen Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh's impact on other quarterbacks and said learning from him is an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
I'm fighting back tears of laughter right now.
Confusing thread title...Didn't read where he "fired a few shots". Jake's future is in medicine. I just don't see him being able to completely rely on his arm as a pro. And while he's nimble when healthy, he's not so fast that he could be an option qb in the NFL.
The thing I noticed is how he mentioned things were up front and he knew where he stood. The last 4 years our qb's seem to play afraid of making a mistake. In the early KF years the team seemed to know their assignments and personal and team goals. The last few years it seems like the players are trying their best but nobody understands how to work together or if they'll be taken out of the game on a whim. When a coach, manager, person in a leadership position feels threatened they become inconsistent in their approach in order to confuse people and being able to go in a different direction anytime someone questions them.

O'Keefe's last year was 2011. JVB put up 25 TDs against 7 picks. In 2012, year 1 of the Davis regime, he tossed 7 TDs against 8 picks. QB play has improved slightly bince then, but has yet to get back to 2011 levels. Ferentz pulled the ultimate troll on every one of you d-bags who badmouthed O'Keefe by hiring the absolute worst candidate he could find. Greg Davis makes $450k per annum. Ask yourself if there is any company in America that would pay this guy $450k:
NOTE THAT HIS EYES ARE OFF KILTER.
If you continue to buy season tickets, you are part of the problem. It's really that simple. Jake might be a fine collegiate QB, but the guy who is pictured above ain't gonna be the one who figures out if he is.

I think this part of the interview: "He's not much of a sugar-coater, and I appreciate that philosophy because it's a lot more efficient to be honest and open from the start than to say something and rebuke it later." indicates that JR thought KF was opposite of this. I would take that as a shot.
I wouldn't say that indicates that. You could try to infer that. Kirk releasing the off season depth chart was probably the most up front non sugar coat thing Kirk could of done for Jake. Basically let him know that Beathard had the upper hand going into next season. The main thing I can think of that Kirk didn't follow through on was implementing Beathard into the system more as he and GD implied going into last season. Jake ended up playing even more because of that. I know a lot of fans get a bad taste for recruits when they transfer, but Jake was always a good kid who showed a lot of class while at Iowa. He was a breath of fresh air after the 4 win season and breathed a little life into the program. Many said "why didn't Rudock play earlier?" His limitations were excentuated in GD's system. There's no need to go fishing for things to say about the kid when he's gone and putting words in his mouth.
Me too. NFL... yeah. Unless he's looking to be a team Dr.
