His 'generational" label was more based on elite potential...that he would eventually evolve into a Manning type QB. He looked the part at 19..never lost a game in HS then won a national title as a freshman.
If another QB comes out with that initial burst...he'll be touted the same.
Hindsight is what it is...but his freshman highlights looked every bit the "next big thing".
He just didnt take the next step...or hasn't so far. Wasn't in the ideal situation with his 3rd HC in a year and a half..
