South Carolina’s new quarterbacks coaches want Jake Bentley to throw like Drew Brees and think like Tom Brady in 2018.
That’s a high bar, but it’s what Dan Werner and Taylor Lamb are working toward in the film room as Bentley, the Gamecocks junior quarterback, gets ready for his third season as a starter.
Werner is South Carolina’s first-year quarterbacks coach and is being assisted by Lamb, who is in his first year as an offensive graduate assistant. One of the coaching points the duo added to Bentley’s film study this summer was matching film clips of him making throws alongside clips of NFL stars Brees, Brady and Aaron Rodgers making the same throw.
