Quote:Guess the QB:


Very poised and composed. Smart and alert. Can read coverages. Good accuracy and touch. Produces in big spots and in big games. Has some Brian Griese in him and is a gamer. Generally plays within himself. Team leader.


Negatives: Poor build. Very skinny and narrow. Ended the ’99 season weighing 195 pounds and still looks like a rail at 211. Looks a little frail and lacks great physical stature and strength. Can get pushed down more easily than you’d like. Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush. Lacks a really strong arm. Can’t drive the ball down the field and does not throw a really tight spiral. System-type player who can get exposed if he must ad-lib and do things on his own.

Tom Brady duh....

 

And as I mentioned, Brady sat for at least a year. He had time to develop. Have you ever watched the Brady 6. It was on NFL last night he saw what a coach had to say about him his rookie year and took it to heart, and he even said they were right. But he had time to develop.

 

Same is true for the QBs in this draft. They need time to develop at least a year for a few and longer for others.
