Nothing if you're looking at stats. Everything if you look at the games. I haven't seen many big time throws from him. Much of his numbers are quick hitters and slants getting the ball to his playmakers in space. 

Gerry's question remains unanswered!

What's that got to do with the price of rice in China?

He’s a lot better than you’re giving him credit for.

Have to go look at the Cal tape for more big time throws. Handles pressure well.

I have LaNorris Sellers, Kevin Jennings and Fernando Mendoza in my QB room for my college fantasy team.

I am telling you all Curt Cignetti to Florida or Arkansas if those jobs come up?

He's going to be on some short lists if jobs open up.

To put some numbers to this, he was 128th in big time throw percentage last year. His rate was twice as high the year before at 5.7%. 
 

Think his average depth of target is just under 10 this year so not dinking and dunking but limited big time throws, which are heavily weighted towards deep throws and less at the intermediate range.

Like many guys he’s improving as he matures, at least from s statistical standpoint.

I need to start following this dude. Seems like a great quarterback and person.
