I really don't see why he's ranked so high on 247. I mean, he looks like a good athlete and has a decent arm. Outside that, what makes him a great QB? His accuracy isn't that great. He can run which is nice but I'd rather see more of what he can do throwing the ball. I see a good arm but inconsistent accuracy.

I don't care what anyone says about coaching accuracy, you either have it or you don't. He doesn't have it. Sometimes he's accurate and then you'll see the next pass hit the WRs feet.

He's a take but I wouldn't say he comes close to being rated over the prospects you mentioned. They're a far bigger need at this point. But we do need to take 1 QB in this class. We should take one in every class until we hit gold and then process the others. I'm thinking Rivers won't be here next year. Jennings already looks better than him.

Accuracy can be improved at a young age, he's not in college nor the NFL so he has way more room to grow. You either have arm strength or you don't, you either have speed or you don't. Decision making, pocket presence, mechanics, footwork, accuracy, can all be improved with hard work and a competent QB coach. The guy is only 17 for goodness sakes.

I'm glad that we have a talented QB in Louisiana and a legit QB coach to teach him. Maybe he challenges Rettig for Jennings' successor or maybe he gets processed, but you take this gift of talent and make him compete and make your depth more talented by the outcome.

I assume his accuracy improved so significantly enough in just 3 short months?

I'm not buying alot of this either.

....and this thread is a painfully obvious example of rating/star gazing, IMO.
