Quote:Football IQ- Football instinct is something different. Reading defenses and knowing the playbook is an important part of being a QB.

 

As far as this goes, he was learning how to read NFL defenses when he was 12 or so (with his older brother.)

 

I can't hold his brother against him.  Turning back time, everyone was fawning over what was happening with the Fresno State program.  After beating Colorado, Oregon State, and Wisconsin back to back to back, many thought they had a good shot at running the table.  Add to that a putrid QB class, and it was a perfect storm for overdrafting QBs.  Like this class, David should have sat on the bench and seasoned a bit before being thrown to the wolves.  Unlike some failed QBs, he did draw interest as a backup after losing his job.
