Lou Holtz was just quoted by SC (@sportscenter ) saying Klein has no shot at a pro career and tonight will be his last as a .QB. Your thoughts?

I don't know enough about the guy to agree or disagree

I think he would be a pretty good NFL tight end.

Maybe. It's no lock that he smoothly transitions to whatever position he'll be moving to.

No. Jones had a better arm and is much, much faster.

This guy is a backup and accounted for 3 tds in his 1st NFL Start. I think Klein could get a shot as well.

Speaking of which..

Are people surprised Terrelle Pryor got a shot at QB?...

And Matt Jones didnt? Same type of QB imo. TP was more accurate though.

Nah, he looks like a guy from the 50's playing in the modern era.

I don't see Klein running anything close to a sub 4.4 forty.

The guy is a worse passer than Jordan Jefferson. Good athlete, though. Could be used as a project for another position.

His throwing motion looks so robotic. Not in a good way

Mostly because you can't have a cokehead at QB but I do feel like Jones was a couple years ahead of his time. If he played in college right now he'd be a much bigger deal than he was.
