Yeah Andrew Luck and Ben Roethlisberger are two others who would score REALLLY low on the "how much would I trust this guy with a teenage girl" scale. On the other hand, better to have that than Joe Flacco who probably scores low on the teenage boy scale.
5 TAKEAWAYS FROM COMBINE QB WORKOUTS 1. Jared Goff’s hands are small, but he’s still accurate The concerns about Goff’s slight frame have been out there for months now, but he added another red flag on Thursday when his hands measured in at 9 inches. That is a popular cutoff point for hand size in the NFL and it doesn’t give you confidence that his fumbling issues (23 career at Cal) will be solved anytime soon. When Goff actually had to throw the ball at the combine though, the hand size issue got put on the back burner. His ball placement was on point in drill after drill and he showed why he finished 2015 as PFF’s highest graded college quarterback. 2. Christian Hackenberg’s hands are small and he’s still inaccurate Hackenberg’s hands were also 9 inches despite him having otherwise prototypical size. But unlike Goff, Hackenberg’s hand size might actually affect his ability to throw accurately. Hackenberg egregiously missed on back-to-back post routes against air at one point — a feat you’ll almost never see at the combine. The Penn State QB was our 119th in accuracy percentage (64.0) in the FBS this past season and 87th overall in our grading. 3. Jeff Driskel is athletic enough to play wide receiver 4. Trevone Boykin is not athletic enough to play wide receiver 5. Carson Wentz is no Cam Newton, but that won’t matter Day 2 NFL Combine "winners" and "losers" Winners Jared Goff, Cal, QB: The polished pocket passer put on a strong showing to cement his status as the top quarterback in the 2016 class. Goff showed exceptional footwork and mechanics making throws in passing drills. Most importantly, he consistently put the ball within the strike zone while flashing the ability to change ball speeds and trajectory on his throws. Given the importance coaches and scouts place on accuracy and ball placement, Goff's impressive exhibition, in my estimation, makes him the front-runner at the position heading into the pro day circuit. Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State: The search for a viable option after the first two quarterbacks (Goff and Carson Wentz) makes Prescott an intriguing candidate. He was one of the top performers in passing drills, exhibiting outstanding accuracy, timing, and touch. He consistently put the ball on the mark on intermediate throws and showed a deft touch on vertical passes along the boundary. He also showed impressive footwork, balance, and body control when he dropped back, which shows growth after spending his entire college career operating from the shotgun. Considering Prescott's rock-solid intangibles and his impressive leadership skills, it's quite possible several teams could consider him a worthy candidate early on Day 2. Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame Josh Doctson, WR, TCU Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss Losers Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State: The Spartans' star quarterback had an opportunity to make a move up the charts with a strong showing on Saturday but blew his chances for a surge up the board when he struggled with ball placement and accuracy in drills. Cook repeatedly missed receivers on routes with high and outside throws that landed well outside of the strike zone. While teams will certainly take Cook's injury into account, the fact that he continued to struggle with his ball placement confirms the questions about his accuracy based on his low completion percentage. Cardale Jones, QB, Ohio State: Jones suffered a strained hamstring while running the 40, which prevented him from showcasing his skills on the NFL's biggest pre-draft stage. He was expected to wow evaluators with his extraordinary arm strength, but the injury left him unable to perform passing drills. With his arm talent considered his most impressive trait, the freakish injury cost him a chance to move up draft boards at the end of the weekend.
I would. He is a classic spread QB, (shotgun, one read and then run) and 90% of his completions are screens or slants or little 5 and ins that get YAC. He's going to have a lot of adapting and learning. Maybe he can do it, maybe not, but best case he's going to need a lot of work before he's ready.
Anyone available who's ready to go? Lynch looks like a project as well and Cook seems to be having a rough time
Same goes for Goff and Lynch. All three showed good footwork and accuracy today which is what you're looking for the most out of these workouts IMO. Don't know if Prescott vaulted himself into the 1st round but I'm not sure the drop off between Lynch and Prescott is as big as some are making it out.
