Wow, I just saw that we didn't get Rettig. If we don't get Scroggins im going to set my avatar as Tim Tebow untill we finally get a qb to commit to us. Trust me no one wants to see that.....
What's the deal with all of these west coast QB's?
Is there not a decent QB for our new scheme that lives east of the Mississippi?
There is only a few people who are fascinated. Most think if we take him we struck out on a lot of guys. Although, I will say he is decent. Not going to tear down walls. His potential is limited but he seems smart and well schooled.
Other then that it is the BJ Coleman affect. He is close and these other guys are far away. He is a UGA fan btw guys. If they offer he will gladly go ride their bench for 4 years.
Grayson is a Vol fan even if he is far away. He grew up watching Peyton. I can see the imitation when he throws. But he is a different kind of Athlete then Peyton.
This is the "sleeper" QB prospect that intrigues me more than anyone because he has a very good combination of skills. He is an accurate passer, he has good height and has very good speed and athleticism for a QB. Arm Strength is a question but he has a very nice set of skills.
So, you like him better than Manley, Bray, etc.?
Do you like him better than Rettig?
I ask because I know next to nothing about evaluating prospects.
I watched the highlight films, and I have mixed feelings about it. I really don't see the accuracy that some of ya'll are bragging about. Several of the balls were underthrown and his receivers made good grabs. I like his athleticism, but I think he is very raw as a passer. He has a strange throwing motion where it looks like he is pushing the ball. He does gets the ball out quick or makes a play with his feet. I say it's a gamble.
He looks nervous in the pocket to me... and that's against weak HS competition. Arm strength is a major, major issue.
The wookie with the kippah sure seems to be sold on this guy.
A 3 second pocket is a great pocket in the SEC... and he's not playing against SEC DL's or DB's.His pass protection is awful you would be nervous too. He has 2-3 sec pockets.
Maybe he's improved significantly but it looks weak on the film he's posted as highlights.Arm is not major major weakness. He has been evaluated at several camps all said he had good arm strength.
His team is not that good. He makes them good.
