Not sure how to reply to all this but in a nutshell.  The kid came in last year without even getting spring practice.  He then gets “thrown” into a game against a decent ND team and a decent Pitt D.  [USER=436]money3189[/USER] already listed all the issues that game that weren’t just on CDRW.  So I’m not going to repeat it all again.

He played well against ND and didn’t play well against Pitt.  It’s not like he looked lost in both games.  So there is something there in the very least based on his performance the first game that he played.  Not taking any of the contextual factors into account and making it seem like he was terrible I think is very premature.

Do I know if he’ll be good, no. And I’m not saying he will.  But I don’t know that he won’t.  The main thing he needs to work on IMO is not playing like Jay cutler.  CDRW threw some passes very few college QB’s can throw and I’ll absolutely stand by that statement.  He made a throw down the left side of the field, off balance, under pressure, 30 yards (that’s how it felt watching) to OG (maybe) with a defender draped all over him.  It was almost like he flicked his wrist and threw an absolute bullet to the only spot the ball could go.  One of the best single throws I’ve seen in a long time.  He also made throws to multiple parts of the field and to different players.  Something we don’t always see.  So he has a ton of talent and potential.  We have had many backups since I’ve been watching that can’t even throw the ball.  He has a ton of tools and talent.

So the idea of writing this kid off so early is mind boggling to me.  It’s not his 3rd year in the system with multiple games and he never improves.

People saying he isn’t very good tells me all I need to know about their evaluation ability.
