Gunner in action at Elite 11 drills

I'm not going to pretend that you can tell anything from practice drills, but I love this cat's fundamentals.

It's gets me excited...

I thought the Tiger faithful might enjoy a few throws because it's going to be about 3 months before we see him in the spring

and according to Bama fans, that makes Alec Morris better than Kiel

And the Elite 11 camps are in the spring of Junior year, correct?

So there is a lot of time to improve

Hell of a view from that field.... Where is that?

Dude definitely looks the part.

Oh yeah. Dude is a baller.

That's what a real qb looks like

I watched the whole thing and, to my surprise, Trent Dilfer was excellent. He put 20+ ELITE QB's in drills/situations/environment where the TRUE alpha dogs would step up. The true leaders-led, the grinders-worked and got better, and the others either, couldn't handle the competition or were exposed due to collection of talent.

I'm sorry to say, but Kiel came off as Chris Simms to me. Mechanical, looks the part, but when Dilfer pressed he didn't respond.

Hope he learned and was humbled enough to grow. If not, he'll have a tuff transition to SEC.

I think a better test would be the upcoming AA bowl where Qbs actually have to

face a pass rush
be in pads
make reads
fit the ball away from the defenders
play against the best talent

QB performances at AA games are crapshoots. Unless you are a defensive player or the 2nd or 3rd RB, it's really difficult to be at your best.

You have an OL that was forced together in under a week, a WR group you don't have a lot of chemistry with, and you're going up against a defense that seem to always be ahead of the offense in these type games...

I really dont understand what you are saying. So there are qb's that looked better?

he looked good in those drills a few passes behind.

Very slightly behind, but none had to stop momentum to catch a ball. Unlike the poster above, I thought the main "gripe" from the video would be his spirals. He didn't throw a lot of tight spirals, although they were good balls, not wounded ducks. Perhaps it was the ball, or a somewhat off day, or perhaps he needs a bit of help with his grip. He could be very successful in college throwing those types of balls, so no worries imo.
