Quote: But I think he's capable of being a solid 2:1 or sometimes 3:1 TD/INT ratio type of QB that flirts with 4,000 yards passing each year. As long as Robinson, Lee, and Hurns can stay healthy I think this group will be efficient enough.

I think this prediction (with a 2:1 ratio) is realistic for his 2nd and 3rd year. He's a big play QB who can surprise defenses and is hard to gameplan for, and he will be relied on enough to carry the offense that he could easily post 3500-4000 yards on volume alone. But he'll lose the mental battle from time to time at this point in his career because he doesn't yet know what to expect from pro defenses (not everyone is Andrew Luck and walks into the league knowing how to read the defense at the line and pre-plan the play down to your third or fourth option.)


Then after that anything can happen. He has the drive to become a cleaner QB but he also has a lot of bad habits and not everyone learns how to correct the kinds of problems he has, so it's just dependent on how much that is cleaned up whether or not he ascends.


Ceiling: Ben Roethlisberger

Floor: Josh Freeman

Most Likely Outcome: Daunte Culpepper


Seem fair? Yes? No?
