Analysis
I won’t go so far as to say that Lynch is a blue-chip prospect, but there are raw skills and abilities that he possesses that perhaps no other quarterback in this class can claim. In a perfect world, you’d like to see a more mechanically sound passer who can spin a prettier ball to his targets, but Lynch has found a way to be successful without top-notch form.
The biggest reason for Lynch’s prowess as a passer is his rocket arm, which can unhinge passes on a frozen rope to his targets, even without a sound base at times. Lynch’s ability to create gains in the passing game despite a crumbling pocket or compromised mechanics is special, and makes me excited for his ceiling when he does master the details.
The Memphis product is still learning to vary the ball’s pace, but Lynch has already shown remarkable touch and accuracy throwing deep, with the ability to drop passes into the bucket despite tight coverage. His ability to thread the needle in the smallest of windows, whether on the run or from the pocket, allows Lynch to completelower percentage throws that most quarterbacks cannot.
His NFL system fit offers some versatility, as Lynch shows the presence and developing footwork to thrive from the pocket as a downfield passer, while also being an excellent ball handler and fully capable as a rusher. He’ll need time to master progressions and reads for a pro-style offense, but the comfortability is there to excel in a West Coast attack quickly. I don’t see Lynch as a bad fit for any system honestly, as long as the coaching staff is patient and doesn’t thrust undue responsibility on him too early.
