TigerJ Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If you're just talking physical attributes, Buffalo has a pair of QBs in the "perfect" conversation. No, I don't mean Matt Barkley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't a superstar but he is definitely NFL caliber I also believe Nick Foles is 6'6 and he has won a SB It's probably not the ideal height but it's possible Trevor Lawrence will probably be 6'6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 guys you mention had great runs to get a ring, I believe they have been the 2 exceptions to the rule. If all other things were equal between a 6-3" to 6'4" QB prospect and a 6-6" QB prospect, I'm picking the shorter guy each and every time, and a 6'7" and up prospect never. Tyree Jackson makes for a nice local story, but I think having him on the Bills is a waste of time. Edited July 21, 2019 by Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great for UBs program but as an NFL prospect I really don't see it He has bad mechanics , streaky accuracy, doesn't possess good touch... UB was loaded and he had streaks of poor play I had a late 6th early 7th round grade on him and didn't think he had the tools to become an NFL starter Trevor Lawrence is 6'6 and will be the #1 pick when he declares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I think the problem with trying to assess any QB who comes out of college with less than ideal performance, (like Tyree Jackson) is you don't know his story. You don't know the coaching he's had . You don't know what makes him tick. Because you don't know those things, you can't really tell if he's going to be stuck as a n inadequate QB or he's going to develop. The odds will tell you Tyree Jackson is never going to be an NFL QB, but with his physical attributes: size, athleticism and arm strength, it always worth a little time and effort to try and figure out what he's got. Why are his mechanics poor? Why did he seem unable to throw with touch? Why are his mechanics bad? The answer may be he's just a lousy QB, but maybe there's more to it, and the answer means those things might be fixable over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love UB. Probably too much His mechanics are poor because he went from 6'0 180 pounds to 6'7 240 pounds in 1 year. The growth spurt made his potential unlimited and gave him a cannon but it completely changed his mechanics He has super long arms and a super elongated motion . The touch he can learn but I don't think he used it much because he spent the majority of his RS JR season chucking it deep with all his arm .. even in the mid and short game he was throwing on a dart when accurate.. when he put some touch he was usually off a bit I wouldn't put that to coaching, it's just his style. The staff got him national attention thanks to coaching and some of the pundits calling him a top 3-4 round pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
