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?

Prospect fatigue mostly. People do this every time there's a no. 1 prospect clearly identified two years in advance.

The same people obsessed with his stats vs top 25 defenses were the ones who decided that Peyton Manning never beating Florida meant that Ryan leaf was a better prospect

This is a pretty good analogy. I'm the same age as Peyton, so I remember that nonsense quite well.
