Don't get me wrong, he's a decent prospect, but some are acting like he's faced stellar competition and that is false. I'm not ready to anoint him as anything more than a QB who has one impressive win against one quality team. The other teams are dog shit. It's typical CP knee jerk reaction of finding something shiny and new and jumping the gun.

Missouri State was a warm up and he only threw the ball 12 times for 78 yards as they went to the ground game almost immediately. Kansas is dog shit, but the other teams are a combined 16-10 with a top 20 team in Ole Miss.
And he's not shiny and new. He was very good last season and has continued to get better. This is the type of progression you hope for in a QB, regardless of the conference level, and as he's showing the progression against a team like Ole Miss, who has an excellent defense and solid defensive backs and Lynch just owned them all game, shows that he's doing what everyone hopes a college QB with pro potential will do - get better every year as they get physically and mentally stronger and their understanding of the game grows.
If you don't like him because he didn't throw for 4000 yards as a freshman, fine. But he's shown a ton in his progression and is now putting the hammer to everyone. You want the definition of a guy being able to carry a team? That's Paxton Lynch, circa 2015. He's brought his team back from 10 points down four times already this season.
