I removed the physical stuff because alot of guys have what it takes physically. When I look at a QB, I want to know if he has "it". Here's what Scott Wright says:
Really anticipates well and displays nice touch and timing...
Intelligent with a high football IQ...
Recognizes blitzes, can read coverages and go through his progressions...
Is tough, fiery and super competitive...
Truly loves the game...
Excellent work ethic...
A team leader and field general...
And here's his complete list of negatives, physical and mental:
Limited starting experience...Doesn't have the ideal height that you look for...Durability is a concern...Does not always throw a tight spiral...Has some trouble with the deep ball...Can get flustered by a strong pass rush...Makes some bad decisions...Won't run away from people...Had an issue off-the-field...Was surrounded by a lot of talent.
Notice that, other than "Had an issue off-the-field" he has ZERO emotional negatives? The only mental negatives he has between the lines is dealing with overwhelming rushes and making a few bad decisions. Otherwise, they're all physical.
I'm 100% convinced this guy has "it".
