I think the guy has a lot of ability but needs a lot of work with processing what he sees and decision making when he’s pressured.
A LOT of ability in what area?

He has a strong arm and can throw a football with velocity and distance. That's it.

He has no other attributes that a Major College QB should possess.

If you can't process information quickly, can't read defenses and have feet of granite too, you're dead in the water. These are things that you either have or don't have and can rarely be learned or improved on very much.

You're not playing Big Boy Football and moving to the NFL without these attributes.

at all these TJF Worshippers that are constantly stating that he has such awesome "Physical Upside." Besides having a Rocket Arm, he doesn't have any Upside.

In the right Offense, under the right QB Coach, maybe he could improve enough to be a serviceable College QB. (But that's not LSU's problem or concern now)

Well, I guess you cherry picked what you didn’t like out of the sentence but yet I basically said a lot of what you stated in the rest of the sentence. “ needs a lot of work with processing what he sees and better decision making when he’s pressured “. Yes, I agree, what separates great from ok QB’s, are those attributes and most of the time it’s an inherent quality but I won’t go so far as to say no one can somehow be taught those qualities.

Hopefully for him, he has a great determination to improve and become better in those areas. Him leaving came as no surprise to me. The writing was on the wall. Good luck to the young man wherever he goes.
