Feltdizz was the only among us to predict his drafting. Then he predicted him to ball out. I want his dream to come true. But, I refuse to let feelings overrule rationality. Lets do the break down shall we?
Pros:
Size, speed, awareness in the pocket? Dear goodness if you are going to place a rookie behind a bad OL this is the guy.
He avoids pressure with an eye in the back of his head. It reminds me of BB but he is faster.
The way his head turns through progressions and almost always finds the deepest open man is stunning.
I love his reads. He isn't a cowboy. He isn't a Farve. He takes what he sees.
The way he can throw from different stances most impressed me. He can throw with velocity off his back foot or even side armed. (reminds me of Mahomes).
He has an above average arm.
He is not known as a rushing QB but the dude has wheels.
He is consistently accurate. He makes terrific reads.
He has a nice touch on the softer throws. He places balls in baskets. He is very accurate.
Good decision making. Again isn't a cowboy. He is willing to take a smart loss.
He broke massive records and grew as a QB during his time in PITT.
Cons:
I think he has good arm strength but no one has taught him to drive with his legs. So, I see wide open WRs waiting for balls.
All of his big balls are with WRs who are wide open.
Competition, who did he play against well? He lit up UNH, Western Michigan, Duke and Miami. None of these schools are known for defense.
Most of his stats are against subpar competition.
He struggled against subpar Ds. I mean he threw for 209 against Syracuse ranked 92nd in the nation.
His arm strength to push is a window is at best adequate.
He has poor mechanics.
My impressions:
He is the most NFL ready of all these QB prospects but he isn't ready. He has a lower ceiling than Willis, He isn't as good as any of the QBs in the NFC North. I think he is a reach as I have a late second round grade on him. I do however think with the right surrounding cast he can be successful. At this point, I do not see franchise QB and I would still place Trubisky ahead of him in talent. I truly hate to be a bubble buster. And I don't have a crystal ball. I pray Dizz is right but I don't see it. He needs time to develop and if you put him in the starting line up day one he will struggle.
