He can already play under center, he can get the ball out quickly, can usually hit guys in stride and can usually find the open receiver. I didn't see his deep throws yesterday, but his out patterns were all on target. But like Watson, they looked to take longer to get there, in comparison with say, Mahomes. (sp). A number of those on target passes looked like they could have been jumped by an NFL cb. (I thought that about Watson too.)
Pitt ran a very run heavy offense, with a very good Oline, but they still averaged 40 pts per game.
IDK..if I'm a GM looking for an NFL ready back up in the mid rounds..he'd be getting strong consderation. Whether he could go beyond that..tough to say.
