Everything you say about JD the past couple of years is correct. I would still argue he made a net-positive impact on the program because he was huge in our upset over Texas which seemed to be the springboard for our rise and he was huge in getting our 2022 team to bowl eligibility (which is one of the best moments in KU football history) but we would have been better without him the past couple of seasons. I am not a Ballard believer. Maybe I am being too hard on him, but I don't think he will be very good and I would prefer to see Marshall start. That said, I think whomever we start will be an upgrade over JD, who cost us so dearly with so many boneheaded turnovers
