I said he was a great QB prospect. Im just simply pointing out that it’s hard to tell just how good he actually is when he plays on the best team in the country.

But we're not talking about a system qb. Or a guy like Watson who by and large used superior athleticism. What's driving rave reviews is the things he does that most bcs bowl qbs don't do. Lots of those guys have loaded supporting casts, sometimes nfl level physical talent. It's not like his players were bailing him out or that he was constantly locking onto his primary read.
It reminds me of luck in college. He had an NFL oline. Not a terribly difficult conference. But we just saw him mentally process the game like an actual NFL qb. There's no guarantee he stays this good. But he's clearly stood out as something special in a decade where that doesn't happen much for a college qb
