I saw him play up close and personal in High School and College. He is simply the most overrated player I have ever come across. Hawaii is the only Div 1 team he could of started for because he is a local legend. Rolovich was better than him I thought when he was there. All the locals love him though so he had to play. He is short and has a below average arm. Hawaii's system is great for QB's though so he has great numbers. I will bet anything he doesn't even get drafted and if he does it will be past the 6th round and he will be cut shortly there after just like Major Applewhite.
CHADC...AGAIN, WHY ALL THE ANIMOSITY TOWARD TIMMY, LIKE HIGHDADDY SHOWN....DOES IT MATTER REALLY HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM....ALL YOU GUYS DO IS CONSTANTLY SAY HE IS OVERRATED, YET YOU FORGET THAT HE SIMPLY CONTINUES TO PUT UP BIG NUMBERS AND A LOT OF POINTS...WHICH IS BTW THE WAY THE OBJECT OF THE GAME....YOU ARE COMPLETELY ALSO FORGETTING WHAT HE IS ACCOMPLISHING THROUGHOUT HIS YEARS THAT NO OTHER QB HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO...LOOK IN THE LAST 13 YEARS SINCE TY GOT THE RECORD, NO OTHER QB CAME CLOSE TO THIS MARK....
CHANG, AS I MENTIONED TO HIGHDADDY, WILL NOT ONLY HOLD THE TOTAL PASSING YARDAGE RECORD, BUT HE WILL ALSO OWN THE COMPLETION, TOTAL OFF, AND POSSIBLY MOST TDS THROWN, ETC, WHEN HE IS DONE....I DONT THINK ANY QB WHO CAN CONSISTANTLY PUT UP THIS TYPE OF NUMBERS YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT, CAN BE CONSIDERED OVERRATED....ESPECIALLY NOT THIS YEAR, WHICH IS HIS BEST YEAR EVER IN HIS CAREER....LAST YEAR, EVERYONE WAS SAYING THAT HE IS OVERRATED CAUSE HE THROWS TO MANY INTS...THE YEAR BEFORE WAS BECAUSE HE IS TO SOFT AND GETS INJURED A LOT....WELL, THIS YEAR HE IS NOT DOING ANY OF THOSE THINGS AND HE IS HAVING HIS BEST SEASON EVER..AND RANKS IN THE TOP OFFENSIVE CATEGORIES IN THE NATION, EVENTHOUGH THEY HAVE A LOSING RECORD....AND THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT HIM..
BTW, HAWAII'S STYLE OF OFFENSE IS NOT AS UNIQUE AND UNLIKE MOST OFFENSIVES OUT THERE....THERE ARE A LOT OF TEAMS OUT THAT RUN THE SAME OR SIMILAR TYPE OF OFFENSE AS HAWAII DOES...IE: TT, CLEMSON TO NAME A FEW...MANY TEAMS USE THE RUN AND SHOOT STYLE OF OFFENSE WITHOUT A TE AND WITH A SINGLE BACK FORMATION.....TT'S HC COMES FROM THE SAME BACKGROUND AS JONES...THESE GUYS WERE THE GROUP OF NEW STYLE OR OFFENSIVE PIONEERS THAT STARTED THEIR OWN UNIQUE NON CONVENSIONAL STYLE OF OFFENSE, WHICH IS OPPOSITE OF THE OLD FASHION PRO STYLE OFFENSES THAT USE THE RUN FIRST TYPE OF SCHEMES....NOWADAYS, MOST TEAMS WILL USE THE PASS TO SET UP THE RUN AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND....THIS IS WESTERN STYLE OF OFFENSE...JUST LOOK AT THE PAC 10, MWC, WAC, CONF USA....IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE NATION, YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF TEAMS ARE STARTING TO INCORPERATE IN THEIR SCHEME THIS STYLE OF OFFENSIVE APPROACH....UTILIZING 3 TO 4 RECEIVER FORMATIONS WITH QB IN THE SHOT GUN AND ONE BACK.
WHAT MAKES HAWAII SUCCESSFUL IS THE FACT THAT COACH JONE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ON WHAT TYPE OF PLAYERS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THIS OFFENSE COMPETITIVE AND EFFECTIVE....SOMETHING THAT MANY COACHES DONT KNOW HOW TO DO...THIS IS WHY SINCE HE HAS BEEN AT HAWAII, WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A SHITLOAD OF RECEIVERS TO CONTRIBUTING TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS OFFENSE....I THINK LAST YEAR, HAWAII HAD 11 DIFFERENT RECEIVERS WHO CAUGHT A TD PASS FROM CHANG....HELL MOST TEAMS ARE LUCKY IF THEY GET 3 RECEIVERS WHO RECORDED A CATCH FOR A TD....
ANYWAY...JUST FOR YOUR INFO...SINCE I FEEL YOU ARE A BIT OFF IN YOUR ASSESSMENTS.....FIRST, ROLOVICH WAS THE STARTER WHO LOST HIS JOB TO CHANG WHEN HE WAS A FRESHMAN....THEN WHEN CHANG GOT HURT HE PLAYED AGAIN, BUT WASNT THAT EFFECTIVE, AND HE LOST HIS JOB AGAIN..TO CHANG....ONLY IN HIS LAST FEW GAMES TAKING OVER FOR A WOUNDED CHANG WAS HE ABLE TO FINALLY GET THINGS ROLLING...BUT REMEMBER, THE OFFENSE WAS AT THAT TIME ALREADY ROLLING AND CLICKING ON ALL CYLINDERS WITH WRS ASHLEY LELIE AND THE OTHER BEVY OF WRS, NOT TO MENTION THREE NFL O-LINEMAN PROTECTING HIM...SO ALL ROLO HAD TO DO WAS STEP IN AND TO AN ALREADY FLOWING OFFENSE....JUST LIKE WHAT WHIELDON DID LAST YEAR WHEN CHANG WAS OUT...
AS FOR YOUR COMMENT ABOUT CHANG ONLY BEING ABLE TO PLAY FOR HAWAII...WELL, FOR YOUR INFO....CHANG DIDNT GET NATIONAL RECOGNITION WHEN HE STARTED PLAYING FOR HAWAII....NO, CHANG GOT NATIONAL RECOGNITION WHEN HE WAS IN HS PLAYING FOR NATIONALLY RANKED ST LOUIS HIGH SCHOOL....WHEN CHANG CAME OUT OF HS RATED AS THE 21ST BEST QB IN THE NATION....NOT IN HAWAII, BUT IN THE NATION....HE COULD OF WENT TO SEVERAL PAC 10, BIG 10, EVEN MIAMI, TEXAS, MICH ST, AND SEVERAL MORE BIG TIME PROGRAMS WERE AFTER HIM.....HE IS NOT THAT SMALL...HE IS 6'2 AND A LITTLE OVER 200 LBS....REASON WHY HE STAYED IN HAWAII, WAS BECAUSE JONES WAS HIRED AND ONLY RECRUITED TIMMY TO RUN HIS OFFENSE....NOW JONE IS FROM THE NFL AND HAS COACH GREAT QB'S LIKE GEORGE, ETC....SO HE KNOWS CHANG HAD THE TALENT, AND ALSO KNEW THAT OTHER PROGRAMS KNEW IT AS WELL...BEFORE CHANG, QB JASON GESSAR, NOW PLAYING FOR TENN TITANS WAS RECRUITED TO PLAY FOR WASH ST AND MIKE PRICE'S PASS HAPPY OFFENSE....CHANG WAS PERFECT FOR THIS OFFENSE, BECAUSE HE CAME FROM A NATIONALLY RANKED HS FOOTBALL PROGRAM IN ST LOUIS WHO ALSO RUNS THE RUN AND SHOOT OFFENSE....SO HE FIT PERFECTLY FOR JONE'S OFFENSE...BUT DONT THINK THAT CHANG WASNT HIGHLY RECRUITED.....CHANG COULD OF RECEIVE A SCHOLARSHIP FROM PROBABLY ANY COLLEGE IN THE NATION, THAT HE WANTED TO ATTEND...AS HE WAS RANKED 21 ST BEST QB PROSPECT IN THE NATION...NOW DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY QB'S AND HS, THERE ARE IN THE NATION....YEAH, THOUSANDS...
AS FOR HIM NOT GETTING DRAFTED...OR CUT AFTER IF HE DOES...WELL, THAT WONT HAPPEN...JONE IS A RESPECTED NFL COACH WHO WAS A HC IN THE NFL....AND WHO GAVE UP OVER 3 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR 3 YEARS TO COACH HAWAII, LIKE HE ALWAY DREAM SOME DAY HE WOULD DO AFTER HE PLAYED HERE......JONE HAS THE CONECTIONS AND HE KNOWS WHO HAS THE TALENT TO BE IN THE NFL...C'MON JONES WAS A HC IN THE NFL AND COACHED SOON TO BE FUTURE HALL OF FAME QB'S...I THINK HE WOULD KNOW IF CHANG HAD THE POTENTIAL....TRUST ME, I DONT KNOW IF CHANG WILL GET A CHANCE TO START AT QB IN THE NFL, BUT HE WILL BE IN THE NFL...THAT I KNOW...I MEAN, LOOK AT ALL THE FLUKY BACKUPS WHO IS IN THE NFL....HERES ONE OF THEM, KOY DETMER...JOHNATON QUINN, OR CRAIG KRENZAL....PLEASSSSE...IF THESE FLUNKIES CAN MAKE IT, THEN CHANG WILL DEFINATELY MAKE IT....MAJOR APPLEWHITE IN MY OPINION DIDNT MAKE IN THE PROS, BECAUSE HE DIDNT HAVE IT MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY...AND HE BENEFITTED BY BEING AROUND A **** LOAD OF TALENT THAT TEXAS HAD IN WR'S AND RB'S...I MEAN PLEASSE....HAWAII DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE CALIBER OF WRS THAT APPLEWHITE HAD AT HIS DISPOSAL....NOPE WE ONLY HAVE SMALL, BUT TOUGH LOCAL BOYS, WHO PLAY THEIR HEARTS OUT...BUT LOOK AT ALL THE YARDS AND POINTS THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT UP......CANT DENY THAT...BTW, JONES HAS CREDITIALS TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT A PLAYER CAN MAKE IT IN THE NFL....NO OFFENSE, BUT YOU DONT HAVE ANY CREDENTIALS WHICH MAKES YOU AN EXPERT ON NFL CALIBER QB'S, SO I WILL HAVE TO TRUST IN JONE KNOWING WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT IN REGARDS TO CHANG BEING ABLE TO PLAY IN THE NFL...
I THINK ALL OF YOU GUYS WHO FEEL SO NEGATIVELY ABOUT TIMMY CHANG WILL JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT....HE WILL BREAK THIS RECORD AND BE RECOGNIZED AS THE MOST PROLIFIC PASSER IN NCAA HISTORY.....THESE RECORDS BY CHANG WILL BELONG TO HIM AND HAWAII FOREVER.... NO ONE WILL EVER BREAK IT OR EVEN COME CLOSE TO BREAKING IT.....SO YOU ALL WILL SIMPLY JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT, CAUSE THERE IS NO DENYING THE NUMBERS, TDS, WINS, AND SUCCESS THAT HE HAS ACHIEVED FOR HIMSELF, HAWAII, AND THE WARRIOR FOOTBALL PROGRAM.....BELIEVE THAT BABY AND ALOOOOHA CC.
PS: TIME TO START WRITING THOSE HEARTFELT LETTERS TO TY DETMER, BECAUSE HE WILL SURELY NEED IT AFTER TIMMY TAKES OVER HIS THROWN AS
THE MOST PROLIFIC PASSER EVER IN NCAA FOOTBALL HISTORY!...GOT TO LUV IT....YOU GO HAWAIIAN....
AWWWRIIGHT!:heh:
