HOLD ON GUYS

-im no pro scout. Not even close. But as ive said before i have coached at the high school level under coach Marts who used to play LB for the Jags.

With that said...I was his QB coach. So i do have an eye for certain things involving QBs.

So here is what I see (without looking at stats)

First thing that jumps off to me is his quick back pedal, and footwork. Its outstanding. Hes very light on his feet, and his eyes are always down field.

Secondly, he spins the ball like a football should be spent'
The balk doesnt hang. He mashes the laces in his fingers and he uses his wrist and forearm with a tight and quick release of the ball.

Third, he puts the ball open space. Hes not just out there throwing to WRs....he is actually throwing them open. Thats something you cant teach.

He has touch on the fade. He has great 'medium' velocity. And then he has what we call a rope. Put it on a rope. I saw him throw to backs, WRs and TEs.

Remember, he didnt play at Ohio State or FSU or Florida where all the speedsters are. He had some pedestrian WRs.

He is definately not starter material right now. But if Bortles goes down, then our back up will be better than Henne.

If iI had to compare him to somebody then i would compare him to Kelly Holcombe...maybe Trent Green. With a little bit of Alex Smith.

Hes a quick hitter. He gets the ball out fast...



Heres the bad that i saw:

He is careless. He has good arm stregnth, but hes not gonna get away with careless throws in the nfl.

Sometimes he holds the ball too long instead of throwing it away, he plays hero ball.

He doesnt look safeties and LBs off very well.



Just my "QB" thoughts on our new guy. For those saying he is the worst QB in the draft.....no way.

His stats might not be good, but the nfl dont care about stats from college. Its all about how he projects.
