At all. Ever.

It's EASILY the biggest knock on him. The arm strength is...fine. The accuracy is...fine. Mid-tier starting QB in terms of physical traits.

But he doesn't run an offense. He holds the ball too long and doesn't really go through progressions.

I don't think 'sandlot' is an unfair label to tag to his playstyle at all. Lots of guys have played like him and the very few that succeed have a preternatural feel for the game (Mahomes) or they have a sort of lunatic fearlessness combined with plus tools that makes them pretty damn good (Baker).

I think Sanders MIGHT have that fearlessness but I don't think he has plus tools. And I think his feel is orders of magnitude worse than Baker's.

That's the target for him, though. If absolutely everything goes right, I could see him becoming Baker someday. I just don't think he has nearly the mobility, arm talent or improvisational ability that Baker has.

I didn't know about the timing/anticipation thing. wondered about it. though we have guys like Hurts and Tua, neither of whom have much arm strength, or are consistent with their timing either, so it's not an absolute prerequisite.


I'm surprised that you think Baker is more mobile than Sanders. Of course, I haven't watched more than a handful of CU games, so I'm no expert on that, but Baker ain't fast or particularly mobile, as we all know. If Sanders is really less mobile, well, that would be a bit of a problem, as i do agree that Sanders isn't really a play-within-structure QB.
