    AMAZING arm strength but that is lower down the list of questions I have.
    1. Is he facing poor competition? Some teams look like it’s a middle school.
    2. I know he has a low completion %. Is that because he’s inaccurate or his high school teammates can’t catch it because he’s throws too hard?

    He seems athletic enough but definitely NOT anything but a QB. Some others said he could be something else, I have to disagree. He’s not that athletic.

    If his passes are being dropped, I get it, but his completion % is so low that it makes me think he doesn’t have “touch” and is more like Shane Morris or Mike McMahon (Lions comparison!!). I don’t buy mechanics can fix that. You either have it or don’t. Mechanics can help but won’t likely be solved. I’m just glad they’re taking 2 QB’s this cycle because I fear his floor is low. But the arm… WOW.

      1. It’s not great competition. There are some good teams they play (like Dr. Phillips) and it’s a big school, but football in Orlando isn’t quite on the level that it is at some other places in the state.

      2. I think it’s a combination of those things, but that’s just an educated guess. I think he has some issues with inaccuracy, and he probably throws too hard for some of his receivers to catch. That being said, high school completion percentages are always low. Even the really excellent QBs often complete about 50% of their passes for a variety of reasons (poor coaching, poor schemes, sloppy fields, receivers not running good routes, receivers dropping balls, etc.).

    His receivers help out a bunch with the total yards. They are pretty shifty in the open field.

    This kid reminds me of someone, I just can’t pull it out of RAM.

      You’re thinking of Uncle Rico.

    Has kind of a weird throwing motion. Moves a bit better than I expected.
