I think it's a stretch to call his maturity and behavior issues at Tennessee overblown, though. They were pretty well-documented and universally accepted.
He's cleaned his act up for a few months at a time in the past, too. Going to need to see a lot more before I believe it is permanent.
The arm talent and size are exciting. Still leery of the rest of the package.

Not saying it was overblown at UT...just that people are still using his maturity as an excuse, as it is the one thing holding him back right now from being anything special.
I am saying that ever since declaring for the Pros...there have been no maturity issues from what I've seen.
I don't think his maturity/work ethic/leadership is keeping him from earning a starting spot one day...I think it's just the basics, in learning the playbook and all the other nuances of being a proffesional QB. And it waiting for his big break... I think he is [currently] in a very similar situation as Aaron Rodgers was in when he [Aaron] was just waiting in the wings for his chance to get on the field...
I think everyone here agrees he has everything you want in a QB...
