My biggest concern with Jerrod is his inability to throw a wet ball. Look at the Kansas State game last year that was played in the rain. He just couldn't pass the ball at all.
One of the least known great battles of WW II. I saw a documentary on television on this battle and it was amazing. The men of Taffy 3, though heavily outgunned, put up a heroic fight. Like you said, it was destroyers vs. battleships.
