Is he a chess grandmaster of the Manning/Brady cut like Luck is said to be? Probably not. He's not Cassel either though.

He does have an arm and when he throws it, I do think he believes he'll get the ball through the needle. As an Iowa fan, I've seen him make some awesome throws, in big games, last play of game, running out of time on 4th down and you'll say "holy shit"....and then he'll be in a game vs bubble gum state, and he'll wobble-launch 2 consecutive passes into the gut of a 500lb tackle who is only playing because 3 starters have the juicy poops.
With the right coaching, he may very well make this football thing a career, but that's more likely with more time IMO. I'll gladly own it if I'm wrong and I hope I am, but I think he's Todd Collins.
I'd love to see him get some mop-up or blow-out snaps, but not as a starter this year.
