He showed his colors in college repeatedly.
Maybe it's his emotions and dealing with frustrations but there were games in college when he'd turn into a TO machine. He obviously has talent but I think his coaches need to save him from him sometimes. I mean our pathetic TO-less defense INT'd him three times and he fumbled twice. Do I need to say more than that? He had 18 INTs last season which isn't terrible for a young QB throwing it a lot but the additional 10 fumbles with six lost ends up becoming 24 TOs on the season and that ultimately correlates to w/l's. Maybe he makes the leap maybe not but it's ultimately going to come down to what's between his ears and not his arm. And in that I have some doubts.
We'll just have to wait and see, then, ghst.
I'm clearly in the minority in advocating him as a
future elite QB here at the Zone, but I think I'm right, and think there's a whole hell of a lot more of a chance of that happening than with players like Ryan friggin' Tannehill (lmao @ that one) and even Mariota.
Stafford, while good, will never be elite, as underrated as he is. And is too old, now, to be on a young QB list. Goff has shown nada, he'd have to make a hell of leap year two.
Off that list, I'd go (in no particular order):
Carr (already Top 5 and elite -- he really shouldn't even be on this list since he's already there)
Prescott
Winston
Wentz
as all with a possibility of being truly elite QBs. Mariota has an outside chance, but I see him being above average more than elite.
