Ask TKP: 2018, Do you want Josh Jackson, Hooker, or QP?

So this is my first Forum topic, I read through the community guidelines, so hopefully I don't butcher this, and hopefully it'll be the first of many good topics to come, since my brain, in spirit, always resides in the Burg'.

The question I have isn't meant to throw shade at Josh Jackson as a quarterback or anything, let me preface with that. However, after the Miami game, I couldn't help but ask myself this question:

Do you want Josh Jackson to start for us throughout his entire Tech career (junior/senior season)?

I am asking this in a brief way to spur conversation, rather than dictating the direction the conversation goes. I feel if I give some backstory as to why I am asking this, you might start to argue certain things like "He has a great deep ball what are you talking about" or "He just needs time in the system." I'd rather you as the "objective" contributor just ask yourself the question I posed above, with a couple of additional questions:

1. Do you think Josh Jackson can get us "over the hump?" (I understand he's a freshman, I simply want you to pull out your crystal ball, and forecast based upon what you've seen)

2. Do you think Hendon Hooker or QP give us a better shot at clearing "the hump," even if they start as freshmen?

3. How would you feel if Fuente made next year's camps an open competition again? (I've gotten so used to Beamer handing the position over to the incumbent, that I don't know if Fuente would do the same, I know his history says otherwise)

4. Last but not least how would you feel for JJ, if he did lose his starting gig in a competition, knowing that he's such a good kid, and stuck around even amidst all the unknowns with Beamer's departure?

I am not asking any of this, with a morbid approach to the rest of the season, I hope we finish the season off strong, and win out, just like the next Hokie fan, but I can't help but look ahead a little, to see what will be best for the program long term. I think of Tahj Boyd and Deshaun Watson and how they were program changing talents, at what many call one of the most important positions on the football field, and I can't help but peek into the future, and see what's the best call for us that will take our team to the next level. JJ can be that guy, for sure, but what do you think, would love to hear the forum's thoughts.

Disclaimer 1: Would love to get French and the smart guys to chime in too.
Disclaimer 2: Please stick to chatting primarily about the QB position, I know we have tons of recruiting to do, to catch up to the blue bloods, this forum doesn't need to become YET ANOTHER topic that deviates into us complaining about how we never get the 4*'s 5*'s, I simply want to chat about the QB's that are currently on the roster, and or coming into the fold next year.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
