Might have the highest ceiling of any QB ever drafted but that floor, watch that first step, it's a long fall to the bottom.
You aint wrong...
Going to be crazy to watch how he ends up, you can't teach what he has. Simple as that. You weigh what he brings to the table vs what he can do with what he brings to the table vs what you hope you can teach him to do.
Watching him throw at the combine he has arm for days. Guys dropped a few of his passes because of it.
He also had no instinct to throw the ball before the player was out of a break and he also didn't seem to have much touch or off speed throws.
On the flip side, he was dead on accurate hitting guys in stride throwing from the 9 to the far 30 yard line. That is a 60 yard dime in stride.
I personally would not roll the dice on that big of a gamble when you get to see what he did in college with an early first round pick.
I hope the dude at least gets Drew Brees'ed and ends up at the top of the second to temper expectations. I would hate for him to come in as a franchise savior and have all that put on his plate as he is adjusting to the NFL.
