A few weeks ago, you saw people saying he was a generational talent, that they would pick him (as a prospect coming out of college) over Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, John Elway, comparing his game to Patrick Mahomes. He has lost a few games this year but Jesus, his defense gives up 33 PPG, 420 yards of offense per game and they let people score 94% of the time in the redzone.
He has 119 total touchdowns over 3 years with only 13 ints. This year he is completing almost 70% of his passes. Are you guys genuinely concerned about his ability to play at the next level or is it just nit picking at this point?
Yeah, just tired of the perpetual hype >burnout cycle. He has a faster throwing motion than Fields and seems to process faster (tho PAC 12 defenses are not great even by collegiate standards), but he shows a lot of the same red flags in terms of holding the ball forever. I don’t care if we draft him and maybe I’m just jaded, but I’d rather build a solid everything else and see what happens
Utah has a great defense and he didn’t look that good against them.
He hasn’t looked that good against any great defense. That’s to be expected sometimes though.
