He's not really able to zip the ball to those spots effectively even at the college level. He's very similar to Rudolph in that his placement and touch on deep passes is superb but lacks the ability to drive it up the field regularly.

Firm believer that his accuracy and placement matter more than his lack of an above average arm though. He's very very aware of how a DB is defending his receiver and adjusting accordingly, that's something not every NFL QB can do. After watching his play from 17 through to 18 you can also see him understand where each individual WR prefers to have the ball thrown to him and adjusting to that too.

 
I think he can throw 85-90% of the pro route tree with very minimal adjustment to that loft that he does get carried away with at times. 

Considering we just sat through 5 years of a guy that could throw maybe 55% percent of that tree... well, I'm pretty open to the kid's potential to upgrade the position.  

If he can throw a lofted 70 yard bomb and hit a guy in stride, he can probably learn to throw intermediate passes more efficiently with less loft.

I'd just like to see him doing it first is all. 

Oh yeah no doubt he'd upgrade what we've had. He'd have ran last year's offense with his eyes close. Chark and Dede synch up well to his style too. 

Not if that loft is a product of his arm not having the juice to get it there. Some of it is his habit of throwing off the back foot but mostly the arm.


Have clips on the laptop I'll post tomorrow.
