He's going to look great all year. It'd be hard not to when the schedule reads Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, Kentucky, Florida International, Temple, Rutgers, Central Florida, South Florida, UConn, Houston, Memphis and Cincinnati. Which is not to say he isn't very, very good, but put Alabama and AJ McCarron or UCLA and Brett Hundley or Clemson and Tajh Boyd or basically anybody else you want to name from a major conference against Ohio today and they'd look just as good. Because Ohio is clearly outmatched at every position on the field. And while I realize they lost to UConn last year and had close games with a couple of other teams, I think it's probably safe to say that the only time it won't be like that for him this season is in whatever BCS bowl Louisville ends up playing in. He's most likely going to have a season for the ages. It's like he's in 11 on 11 drills today.
Which is, again, not saying he's not good. He's got obvious tools and I think he's clearly the top QB prospect. Although I thought Boyd had a great showing last night. But how do you evaluate a guy playing a schedule like Louisville's? Even going back to last year, all you really have is the (great) Florida game... (And of course level of competition didn't stop us from drafting Eric Fisher...) |

I don't think so. He's a great player, but he's WAY over-hyped. He had one great game in the regular season and one great hit in a bowl game. Other than that, he was good, but he wasn't great.

If he played for a team that had anybody else on defense that teams had to be worried about there would be no question about him being number 1.

There are reports that he's ****ing soft. That he takes a good majority of plays off and only plays hard when he wants to.
