Seems like a smart guy with a good football IQ. Good processing skills. Doesn't make many dumb plays. And he's played against the best in terms of what college has to offer. One of the better QBs going through his reads. Probably top 1-3 when it comes to that.
Good release, pretty quick, tight albeit low.
Seen him lead his guys to daylight with some of his passes.
Doesnt shy away from a challenge. Went to UG knowing it wouldn't be easy & stayed to fight for his spot when Fields came through.
Arm isnt awful but it's noticeable he's hesitant to throw vertical & that most likely won't improve next level. Far hash to sidelines, tight windows, he doesnt have the arm but arm strength can be improved. I doubt it all of a sudden becomes a cannon but can improve. Again he'll throw some 9's down the line but accuracy on the deep stuff leaves a lot to be desired.
Feet tend to get stuck in quicksand at times. Josh Allen had & still has the same problem but to his credit he improved even if it was minimal.
Not going to create for you. He needs a script to go off of big time. The mobility & improvisation isnt there. Right now strictly a pocket passer. The farther he gets out of his safe space the worst the odds are the play is successful.
Looks like a classic west coast guy with some spread mix in. I think a dome team would love him more.
Some poor play in bad weather. Bill loves QBs that can make it work in the worst conditions (something totally underrated abt 12) & his hands don't look like they can handle a wet, cold ball on the regular.
He's a guy that needs a lot to go right but also has some legit things going for him. Not sure he's a rebuild QB but rather that needs a big supporting cast. Not sure Smart was the best coach for him even though they've had some success. Good coaching could definitely pull more out of him.
