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?

I think the recent smoke around potential diva tendencies has been the biggest contributor. People see a guy who's reportedly gearing up to big-time NFL front offices before he even sets foot in the league, and they want him to fail and be humbled. He's a very good quarterback prospect, but if the stuff we've heard is true, it'd be more fun to root against him than for him.
