Champi...


Oh.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

They're allowed to sign UDFAs already? That was fast.

 

[Staubacher]

Good we need a new "he's better than Romo" guy

 

[starfrombirth]

I'll take it just for the arm

 

[jazzcat22]

I'm sure they were on the phones asking players / agents about signing if they weren't drafted.

 

[DBOY3141]

You're probably right.

He was named the CapitalOne NCAA Division II Football Academic All-American of the Year last year.

STRENGTHS
Outstanding size. Good short-to-intermediate accuracy when he has time to set his feet and step into throws. Very intelligent. Superb leadership qualities and intangibles. Highly respected, vocal team leader. Very competitive. Urgent, demanding, on-field presence. Outstanding production. Tough and durable.

WEAKNESSES
Has small hands. Most balls are flat with little arc and not easily catchable. Plays in a spread-pistol offense operating exclusively out of the gun and featuring a lot of simple, one-look reads. Very average mobility to escape the rush and create plays in the pocket with his feet. Will force the ball under duress and needs to hone his decision-making. Is late to trigger and takes unnecessary sacks. Has not faced top competition and windows will tighten in the pros.

BOTTOM LINE
A developmental, dink-and-dunk pocket passer with intriguing intangibles and leadership qualities sought for a supportive backup or No. 3 role. Will require time to acclimate to the speed of the NFL game.

Huge windup!

Time to cut Caleb Hanie. Are the Cowboys bringing five QB's to camp? (This assuming Orton sticks around).

 

[reddyuta]

Not a promising write up.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Huge windup!

If he plans to have a career in the NFL he better change that pronto, that is a backside fumble just waiting to happen.
