Wentz in the Senior Bowl game

[aikemirv]

I have questions on him at #4 overall just based on what I've seen of him game footage on YouTube. He's a very inconsistent QB. He will have a lot of plays where he does everything you can hope to have a QB do, then has plenty of plays where he looks nowhere near ready for the big time.

I think most QB's in college are similar, but he's playing against far weaker competition. Personally, I am still wanting Paxton Lynch over Wentz at this point.

I really don't look at the weaker competition like other people do. Weaker competition means that he is throwing to weaker WR's who are covered by weaker CB's so that to me is a wash. What is different is overall team defense and systems he is playing against. I don't know enough about complexity of College defenses on a FBS level vs a FCS level. That is the biggest concern for me for an FCS player and especially for a QB. What separates good and great QB's is their ability to read a defense and how they handle pressure. That is what has to be judged!

For me, it's about him being worthy of a #4 pick overall. I'm not saying he can't be a good, if not great QB. But it's trying to determine the odds of it happening and if he has accuracy issues now against weak competition, I have to wonder what it will be like against tougher competition.

Yeah, he may have weaker WR's as well...but for the QB position it is so reliant on the QB's ability to anticipate and when the speed of the game changes it plays a large role in affecting their ability to anticipate. I would rather have a QB that plays against stronger competition where the speed of the game is faster so they can have an easier transition.
