Quote:He had a bad game last night but the "not a pocket passer" take is a complete myth.

I'd bet tons of money he is a first round pick when all is said and done.

The height issue has been debunked with QBs. He's the exact same size as Derek Carr was in college.

1. What height issue has been debunked? It is a fact of NFL history, if a QB is 6'1 or under, his chances of being a franchise QB is incredibly small. That's just a statistical fact.


2. Running the ball has been a huge part of his game since his sophomore year in high school. That is why I say he isn't a good pocket passer. He takes off and runs way too much. It is a habit he'll have to break. Most QBs like him can't do it. Also, Clemson's system predetermines things for him. They don't require him to much at all. It is no different than the system Mariota and Manziel came out of.


3. I said he floats his deep passes. That is irrelevant to how good of a game he's having. He did that all year long. By the way, that is when he sets his feet and steps into the throw.
