Message: [QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 756181, member: 470"] Honestly, we really don't know how good he is or how good he can/will be. I will say, he has had an extremely exciting start to his SU career, and that is something for us to get excited about and for him to build on. He looks to have the ability to run any type of offense, except maybe an extremely pass happy timing offense (at this point). He can run the read option. He can scramble and make plays, allowing WR's to break free. Play action looks like something he can excel with. It's going to come down to whether he'll be able to read defenses, run through his progressions and makes plays against ACC defenses. With tighter coverage, will we see him force throws, throw INT's, tuck and run more, or will he continue excelling? We have to see him throw WR's open instead of throwing to open WR's, not that many college QB's can consistently do that, but the instincts and guts to make those throws can be huge. So far, I'm not sure his deep ball is "ready", nor have we seen if he can make touch passes down the field. Maybe he can. We'll have to wait and see. I'm happy to see the kid come in and pretty much dominate right away. I don't expect it to keep up at this level, but we can see the talent is there. Let's hope the offense is built around him correctly and he can continue getting comfortable and becoming the leader the team needs heading into ACC play. He could be a 3 year starter and really be a stud by his Jr/Sr years. It's nice to see a QB have success right away, gain the confidence that comes with it and look like the present and future all at once. Love that. And I hope it's not a mirage. I think, at worst, he'll be a competent starter with big games here and there. At best, who knows! [/QUOTE]
