More Nick Foles than Matt Ryan. He's largely a rhythm passer, and is best in a no-huddle, shotgun offense where he can keep firing rapidly. Good, not great, arm, but throws an extremely catchable ball. I'm a bit shocked at the six drops per game his receivers had, because his touch is mostly excellent.

His foremost problem, and it's a big one in the NFL, is how he degrades against pressure. He actually has the ability to sidestep and reset, but once he takes that *big* hit (or makes an awful decision), he'll feel ghosts for the rest of the game. That also contributes to how he reads progressions, which are often low-to-high instead of high-to-low. I realize he's a great intermediate passer, but seems too quick to check-down instead of seeing something develop behind it.

His inconsistent footwork and reads can be coached up, but his upside is limited to being a "system quarterback", one who is reliant on a certain type of offense and level of personnel to succeed (opposed to those who elevate their surroundings). meh.
