he may get some extra love because of what Dak has done, but fuck that -- Dan Mullen also coached Tim Tebow if we're going to be all about transitive property.

I do think he's worth a developmental shot, however. when his offense stays ahead of the sticks and defenses respect his running ability (he moves well enough for his size), he can look really good. he does some defender manipulation with head fakes, and will go through multiple reads as needed.

that said, when defenses take away that RPO-check-with-the-sideline on first down, and they start throwing out different coverage looks, he gets bogged down. he can be slow to process everything going on around him, which is basically the mortal sin of quarterbacking. timing goes, ball placement goes, and the bad reads come. even at his best he is not a supremely accurate thrower, so the ugly sequences snowball quickly with him.

overall he has enough NFL-quality traits to be on a roster, and maybe he puts it together in time. or maybe not. certainly not a gamble I would spend a high pick to bet on.
