Enjoy!

I like his wheels on the designed draws and his ability to move around in the pocket. Looks like a few of the throws were a bit short, but seems to have the strength to fire the football when he needs.

[RGV Pony]

I think he looks faster than Phillips. Seems like he reads the secondary well, although admittedly we're only watching highlights and not a whole game.

[BUS]

He already knows the offense. I could not help but notice how simular the plays were/are.

[White Helmet]

You know BUS is right, we ran that Read-option about 15 times a game.

[Mexmustang]

looked alot like Romo, but not as good deep, but better short passes.

[Pony Fan]

Do we think we are getting this guy?

[Mexmustang]

Yea, about 75%

[PonyPride]

Interesting. Looks faster than Romo. Seems to have a lot of zip on his pass, but looks like he rarely comes over the top with his throws. Sort of a three-quarters delivery.

Here is what I saw:

Negative:

- A little lack of zip on the passes to the outside.

- Deep ball comes up a little short

Positives:

- Trusted by the coach. Throws out of the endzone several times, that shows trust.

- Best pass is the slant, very accurate, lets his WR catch on the run. We haven't had a QB do that well in a long time.

- The other teams have LBs playing zone to spy on him. Shows a lot of respect for running ability and is why the deep slant or post is open, which again is a pass he looks good at completing.

- Looks quick. I am not going to compare to Philips until I see in person, but definatley quicker than Romo.

- Deep ball is short but thrown high with good arc. With our tall WR, how many long gains would we have had this year if Romo put air under the ball and just let guys make a play on it?

I don't know if we were watching the same film, but I don't think I saw one ball thrown that hit the receiver in stride between the numbers. Every ball was behind the runner or the runner had to adjust to the ball... the deep balls were rainbows where the wide-open receiver had to slow down. The short balls were invariably leaping grabs. These kind of throws don't get completed at the next level.

It also seems concerning when a highlight tape includes several runs of 5 yards or less.

I haven't watched many JUCO games, so maybe my reference points are throwing me off, but this didn't seem impressive to me at all?

[JasonB]

He is no payton manning, that is for sure.

I was just comparing him to what we have right now. All receivers have to adjust, the key is to throw the ball to a spot where they can make the adjustment. On the slants, if the ball was a little bit off, the receivers were able to adjust, make the catch, but not have to break stride, which is important. We haven't had a QB to do that in a while. Also, the deep ball is a floater, sure, but if the WR has two steps on the DB, would you rather see a floater that a WR can make a play on, or an overthrow that gives the WR no chance? The latter is what you had with Romo a lot of the time...

[Mexmustang]

Obviously a completion...you guys must have far better eyes than I do. The perspective, from top of the stadium also gave me trouble.

[The PonyGrad]

The impressive thing to me is that his passes are gone in one or two seconds unless it is a rollout or something like it, then maybe three seconds.
