As I've said for 3 years, he isn't very good.
Never ever ever draft an Alabama QB with their current talent level. You simply have no idea what you're getting.
For Patriots GM Michael Lombardi sees it like I do. Good listen

He probably has the worst skill player group in the league.
But that's not the point. Tua lacks tools. Arm strength, mobility, & size are all mehQuote:

The only schools to produce a number of NFL QBs are USC and everyone else seems to produce at max 2 or so.
Tua's comment a week or two ago about the adjustment to the NFL being "easy" is looking pretty awkward about now.
Agreed..... The Big 12 and PAC 14 are glorified qb factories. Oklahoma has been the most recent. Typically, pass heavy / limited defense leagues. The SEC is known for RBs and defense.Quote:

Oklahoma has only produced Kyler, Baker, & Bradford, which is more than anyone else, but still only 1 of those guys appears to be a long term starter.Quote:

Kyler or Baker? Which one do you see as long term? Also, Cal has two qbs in the league with Goff and Rodgers.Quote:

He was a guy that maybe had he gone somewhere that he hadn't gotten to play on easy mode for college, he might would have developed. But mostly despite their recruiting rankings, I don't remember a lot of 5* qb talents going there, or if they did, making it past their first year or two and into the starting lineup.Quote:

But he stinks. That won't last long. Not near accurate enough for that leagueQuote:

Your batting average for who isn't a good QB isn't good and is borderline absurd.
