Quote:I dont see him ever getting into the top tier of QBs in the NFL. I think he'll be a good manager of a system in place that relies on a really strong running game and strong defense to make the passing effective. I think he will cap out as a middle of the pack type QB.
 

 

I feel like he's going to improve tremdously as the talent around him improves. What might separate him from the truly elite guys is his arm, but there's room for him to improve there possibly with one more offseason like he had this year. What encourages me is everything else. As a tall, durable qb who can stand in the pocket he's able to go through his progressions and properly diagnose what's happening downfield. He's also got the pocket presence and feel for pressure that top qbs possess with the ability to get out of the pocket and throw on the run or take off as needed. Really it's just a matter of him nailing his throws, and we saw his potential to do just that in the preseason.


 

I feel like it's just a matter of him perfecting his game, but he's got all the intangibles that a great qb needs. He many never be Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning in his prime, but that's what they once said about Tom Brady. He may not even reach the level of a Rivers or Ryan, and might always trail in the shadow of guys like Newton, Luck and Wilson, but I do think he has it in him to be the next Flacco, Romo or Palmer. I'm convinced he'll surpass the likes of Dalton, Kaepernick and Alex Smith in short order.


 

If I had to put a ceiling on how good he could be, I'd look at Big Ben. They really are very similar in stature.
