1. Jurkovec never had interest in Pitt at Pine-Richland. He grew up a die hard Notre Dame fan. He dreamed of playing there. He never once visited Pitt. When ND offered and showed interest, he committed and pretty much shut everything down.
2. When that didn't work, he expressed interest in transferring. Narduzzi turned him down. They had Kenny Pickett. So Narduzzi never even attempted to get Jurkovec to Pitt when leaving Notre Dame. It was the other way around.
3. He went to Boston College. He was really good in 2020. He would have been draft eligible the following year. After the 2020 season, draft gurus had him as a projected 1st round pick.
4. He sustained a shoulder injury in 2021 and was never the same throwing the football since.
5. He was really bad in 2022.
6. He transfers to Pitt and is even worse in 2023.
Narduzzi banked on getting Jurkovec from 2020. If that's what he got, he would've hit the lottery. But that's not how it worked out. I've never seen quarterback play that atrocious at any level of football. I agree with your assessment. He looks lost. His body language is terrible. He looks like a middle school kid out there - throwing his hands up at receivers, yelling at the sideline on every play, hanging his head after every play, etc. He's lost his teammates in my opinion.
