Just got done watching Mayden's video & he's pretty damn good but he's a difficult QB to find a good comparison for because the pool of left handed, dual threat, black QBs is so limited & no..... he's not Michael Vick.
After watching his video, I see a lot of Marcus Mariota in him. He's a left handed Mariota.
Has plenty of speed to take off & run, but shows an advanced pocket awareness. In his most recent video, he shows some side steps & shuffles in the pocket that are indicative of a QB that has been well coached & has natural instincts within the pocket.
When evaluating a player, I often ask two questions:
1. What can he do? Mayden can do everything. He can run, throw, scramble, & buy time in the pocket. However, I wouldn't say he currently does any 1 thing at an elite level.
2. What can't do? Off the video, I'm not sure what he can't do yet. I look forward to seeing him play in the Fall & seeing his failures instead of just highlights.

Hold on wait!!! Did we just land a top rated QB with national offers from the state of Texas. Things have surely changed. Things are looking up. Hail State!
Death penalty or bust!!!***

Not only the evaluation of talent but then being able to develop it. what's happening the last two years in QB recruiting are a direct result of that.
Do I not look like a pothouse? Six foot down the bar. Go on, jog on, walk on, goodbye, bon voyage, **** off.

Me too. I would love to meet him and shake his hand. He may not have had the talent these guys have, but he gave it his all. Mullen got the most out of him.
It truly is amazing the talent Mullen has been able to bring in. Of course Dak is paying huge dividends. Now if he could just get the OL going along with recruiting a few more top WR's. Slow going but maybe......

I agree. He also stood firm when the pocket was collapsing to complete last second passes just before getting hit.

Paul switched his cloudy crystal ball back to State for Bohanon yesterday, FWIW. We're back to 100% on him. Any word on when he will reschedule his decision?
