T or F: Out of all college QBs this year, Cardale looks to be best pro prospect

I say True.

Sure, Cardale is raw, but he has 3 things that you can't teach. You're either born with it or you're not.

1. Calmness under duress
2. Big Arm
3. Accuracy

NFL Comparisons:

I know many like to stick with same-race comparisons, but he really reminds me of Ben Roethlisberger.

Both are huge guys with big arms and are masterful at being calm and buying time in the pocket to make the throws.

College comparisons

I think he is a far and away better prospect than guys like Grayson, Mannion, Hundley, and Carden.

Winston: Cardale is much calmer under pressure than Winston IMO and has a stronger arm. Plus, I'm not sure that Winston is as teachable as Cardale. Winston's baggage certainly doesn't help.

Mariota: Cardale by far is a better physical prospect than Mariota. Mariota makes one look simple reads and doesn't go through progressions. He also has durability concerns IMO with his size. Mariota is a boom or bust guy IMO. AT his best, he adapts to the pro game well and becomes a taller Russell Wilson type prospect. At his worst, he is Jake Locker without the big arm. I think he's closer to Locker IMO.


What should Cardale do next?

I think he should go pro.
- If he comes back, he may not start.
- If he comes back and does start, he may work himself into the first round, which sounds great until you consider that he'll have to be drafted by terrible organizations and be expected to start right away.
- Cardale is one of those guys that needs to sit in the NFL for a year or two before being ready. If he goes this year, a good organization like the Pats, Cowboys, Saints, Steelers, or Chargers will draft him and allow him to sit a few years like Aaron Rodgers got to do.
