You can have short-term success being that kind of QB, but eventually the League will figure you out.

Too bad, he seems like a nice guy. Plus he is an Army brat. Would love to see him succeed. But it ain’t looking good right now.

Right, good at the college level but the NFL is a different world. I think he will end up traded and become a glorified back up for another team.

Yep and they will take a lot of injuries. I remember the year Drew Brees and MIchael Vick entered the NFL I predicted to my football friends that Brees would have the more successful NFL career because he was classic pocket passer who thrived in college playing an NFL style offense. I was teased mercilessly for two years over that prediction. They don't bring it up much anymore though.

Not always. Fran Tarkenton did pretty well.
