His height and mobility are big pluses. His arm strength is the better of the two and taking snaps from under center isn't something new for him. However, you can definitely tell he's a pitcher by his throwing motion so that could use some work.
I think that Franks and Patterson are both great QBs. I don't think we can really say one is better than the other at this point. But what I do know is that Franks is a very intelligent QB. He reads the situation very well, knows how to move in the pocket, and knows where to look for help. I believe that he has all the mental tools and experience to do very well in a pro style offense like LSUs. But yes, his throwing motion and ball are pretty ugly. That's not as big of an issue when you look at the fact that he really fits our offense well.

I clicked on the link to watch the video and was pretty surprised. I expected to see some sort of awkward throwing motion from the comments, but there was nothing at all wrong with it. He drops the ball down a little low at times, but that can be corrected. Other than that, he looked awfully good.
When I think of bad mechanics and poor throwing motion, I think of Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow. Franks looks awfully good. I'd love to have him AND Patterson.
