I thought is was common knowledge that he most certainly wasn't the most pro ready. I certainly knew he wasn't, and i'm definitely no genius when it comes to evaluating QB's transitioning to the NFL.
Who was saying that prior to the draft?
There were a number of pundits that felt he had the most tools.....
Still, many feel that the Air Raid Spread guys will have a steep learning curve.
Unless you play at one of about 10 schools, it is remedial QB 101 when you're drafted to the NFL.
If I was a HS QB wanting to play in the NFL, I'm going to Arkansas, Alabama, Stanford, LSU, maybe Georgia...having a real hard time thinking of colleges that require the QB to play from under center, run a play action scheme, repeat play calls and make protection calls.
I would not go to Oregon, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, TCU, Auburn, Ohio State, Clemson or Ole Miss. Gimmicky High School offenses.
