Hopefully he improves his accuracy and makes a similar jump to Dak. Dak greatly improved his accuracy going into his Junior year.

This always amuses me.

Staley may have never amounted to much but the bottom line is he never got close to the sample size to prove anything.

I mean Fitz was garbage for half the season but everyone still saw something in him because he wasn't dancing on the sideline or seemingly being "distracted." Staley played like 10 plays.

Staley's actions never suggested that he wanted to put the work in required to become a great QB. Nothing personal, but that's the appearance.
