Arm Strength/Power
Might give him 53 Throw power in Madden... if I'm generous. Very rarely shows any zip on the football.
Short Accuracy (1-10 yds)
Doesn't often miss guys on the short routes. If he does it's because he panicked with a man in his face.
Imtermediate Accuracy (10-20 yds)
Showed an ability to somewhat complete a pass more than 10 yards? Helped a lot by superior receivers at UM though
Long Accuracy (20+ yds)
Superior mid-play adjustment is the best explanation as to how any deep balls were completed by this man.
Pocket Presence
Rarely bailed out of the pocket at the right time. Would often panic and leave too early or make a bad throw from rushing because he didn't leave sooner.
Mobility
Does show some speed on tape at time. Does have running ability but his carrier vision is lacking.
Vision
Doesn't necessarily not see open guys, just more can't hit his throws. Doesn't seem to read defenses though.
Mechanics
They break down when anybody comes within five yards of him or when he runs out of the pocket. Shows superior inability to set his feet when rolling out.
Durability
Didn't really seem to have injuries.
Leadership
Despite lack of ability, never showed lack of leadership ability at UM. Always trying to rally the troops.
Game Management
Eh, threw too many unwarranted interceptions even when he didn't need a big play.
Decision-Making
One again, didn't necessarily throw the ball to the wrong receiver, just lacks ability to make throws.
Size
Looks smaller than he's listed even at the combine. Although I can't argue with the combine numbers so technically not undersized.
Speed
He is fast enough, just doesn't show it because of a lack of pocket presence.
Play-Making Ability
Does seem to have the ability to make big plays at certain time. Although he rarely shows it, if he could do it more consistently he could carve out an XFL career.
Productivity
Was productive, though one has to wonder if it was because of the talent and coaching he had.
Intangibles
Gets far too giddy in the pocket and doesn't show any wow abilities.
Character
Haven't seen anything to say he's a bad guy. Just don't give out 10's unless the guy is the greatest man ever.
Consistency
Does consistently bad count?
Strengths
Leadership, Short Accuracy, Character, Speed, Experience
Weaknesses
Arm Talent, Pocket Presence, Gets way too giddy when in the pocket, Poor accuracy was helped by talented receiving core
Overall Analysis
A solid college QB who just doesn't have it for the NFL. Could see him in the XFL but may need even a few years before that happens.
Compares to
XFL Mitch Trubisky w/ a noodle arm.
