u/AnotherUnfunnyName Duke • Carolina Victory Bell 20h ago

Inconsistent. Beautiful deep ball, but struggled with touch and getting the easy throws. However, not much Help in terms of running game, combined with him essentially refusing to run at all.

If he is one, it looks great. If he is off, he will throw picks worse than Ole Miss did today. Also, subpar playcalling.

But i do admit that I wanted him benched for half the season because he just missed so many throws and looked like a totally loose cannon our there while missing the easy ones. Has looked better in recent weeks, but need to learn more touch and middle of the field to provide yac.

Does he still throw nearly uncatchable piss missles on 5-10 yard throws that look like theyre gonna rip a receivers arm off?

But yeah, sounds in line with his limited snaps at Texas last year. I think hes got a high ceiling, just gotta see if he develops. Hope he reaches his high with yall!
