2009 NFL Draft: First-round mock (Fox Sports)

I said he can't throw the ball DOWNFIELD, which there's a possibility you misread my quote, but you highlighted it all, so I doubt that you did.

Personally, I don't think he has the arm strength to sit in the pocket and fire balls to receivers quick enough to where athletic NFL players can't make plays on the ball. Furthermore, to go back to my original EXACT QUOTE, I don't think he can throw the ball downfield in any distance, and the distance that he does have has neither the zip nor the spiral on the ball.

However, since a few people on here have been judgemental of my football knowledge, I decided to see what the "experts" have said on the situation.

From FantasyFootballJungle.com:
Quote:Cons: Average arm at best. He doesn’t show the arm strength to make all the throws. Balls generally lack the snap required at the NFL level. Deeps balls tend be ducks. The offense at Florida doesn’t resemble an NFL offense; he hasn’t been under center much if at all. He is more of a power running quarterback, which doesn’t translate well into the NFL.

A lot of people are projecting him as a tight end or fullback in the NFL.
