A few weeks ago, you saw people saying he was a generational talent, that they would pick him (as a prospect coming out of college) over Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, John Elway, comparing his game to Patrick Mahomes. He has lost a few games this year but Jesus, his defense gives up 33 PPG, 420 yards of offense per game and they let people score 94% of the time in the redzone.

He has 119 total touchdowns over 3 years with only 13 ints. This year he is completing almost 70% of his passes. Are you guys genuinely concerned about his ability to play at the next level or is it just nit picking at this point?

Because nearly everybody in this sub has convinced themselves that they’re pro scouts and can accurately predict his development/career path, based purely on his college tape.

~~college tape~~

Almost guarantee they're basing it off his box scores more than anything. Or from watching one game on a drunken Saturday afternoon. Very few on here are actually watching the All-22 and breaking down the plays, but ask them and they'll still give you a very definitive analysis on his strengths, weaknesses, and character.

Stroud, Dobbs & Purdy are proof that no one has a clue when it comes to evaluating quarterbacks.

Which is why you need to take as many bites at the apple as you can get, even after you get it right

In terms of the QB position I think your average redditor is pretty close to as accurate as a pro scout.
