He’s too fragile.
He played like crap at UF. There’s more to QB than how fast you run and how high you jump.
So what?
The single best quarterback I saw play this year was Bryce Young. I think that Hendon Hooker could be a dark horse, at least in the actual pro game, if not in the draft.
Down in the sixth round went Tom Brady.
Kiss of death, for a QB
Florida was 2-6 and 3-5 in the SEC in the last two years!
I am thinking their starting QB might be worth a look in the Sixth Round.
Do they still do Wunderlic Tests?
I’d like to see the Wonderlic scores for the top QBs — do they even still give that test, or any other which measures intelligence? NFL teams can (and usually do) get away with having way below average IQs at most positions, but absent extreme compensating factors that’s the last thing you want for a QB.
Brains *alone* obviously don’t guarantee NFL success for a QB, but being dumb as a chimp isn’t recommended either (or is it?).
Give me a Tom Brady-type every time, as opposed to some “affweet” who on a good day can maybe spell his own name. Granted, some of those names ARE pretty tough.
Tom Brady, likely the GOAT QB, was a 5th round pick. His vertical leap sucks, he had average speed, and he was not a hulking monster. However, he had the “it” factor. Spatial awareness, quick reactions, quick reads, and good arm strength.
Dan Marino was slow by NFL standards and a below average athlete in the NFL, yet he was a top 5 QB all time.
John Elway was a great athlete with lots of speed and power, but he played his best football when he stopped running the ball and concentrated on being a pocket passer.
AR has impressive athleticism but it is the spatial awareness, ability to make quick reads, etc. that make a great NFL QB. The athleticism is icing on the cake.
Zack Wilson excelled at the combine and became a first round pick by the NYJ, only to become a total bust.
I told everybody AR-15 would win the underwear olympics.
Whether he will be a good QB in the NFL eventually, I can’t say. He’s very raw and needs a lot of development. He’s jumped to the NFL before he was even far enough along to know if he can develop. He is an absolutely spectacular athlete though. Big, strong, fast, strong arm....he has all the tools.
Who ... ??
Yeah but can he read a pro style defense? THAT is the question
Those two are probably some of best judges of talent coming out of College.
