I would really love to finally see a QB that has some range and power, which is why I am still very much hoping we draft Haskins. He is also on the conservative side in terms of his reads and decision making, so I think that prevents him from being an above average QB. If you dont have power and you take little to no risks, that combination prevents you from being anything but a backup caliber QB. Now when we draft a QB next year, Im more than happy for him to be the bridge QB.

I'm not sure of this lack of arm strength you're talking about. I saw him zip some good passes, as well as one long downfield pass that Moncrief decided wasn't worthy of stretching for.

I think he doesnt trust it then, or his inability to read routes and move in the pocket prevents him from using it. Im not saying he is terrible, but I dont think he has a very strong arm.
Bottom line is he is a game manager with low risk/low reward. If he can gain confidence and take more risks im all for it, but he has never been that type of QB. Idk if that is for lack of skill/strength or just how he understands the game. Wasnt there a chart posted on the board comparing Kessler to Bortles that showed almost no deep throws from Kessler?
