Positives
Has prototypical size...Hard worker and a leader with elite intangibles...Smart and does not make many mistakes with the ball...Very strong and does not go down easily...Arm strength is excellent...Is mechanically and technically sound...A good athlete who can move in the pocket and scramble a bit...Has a lot of experience against top-notch competition...Knows how to read a defense and has been well schooled in a pro-style offense by a noted quarterback guru...Is very tough and durable and has never missed any action despite taking quite a beating at times during his career...A clutch player who has come through big in tough situations and plays his best when the game is on the line...Is accustomed to the spotlight.
Negatives
His accuracy tends to get spotty at times...Will struggle under pressure like most quarterbacks...Some are concerned he may be a product of Weis' system since he didn't really emerge until his junior year...Despite the big numbers he didn't have quite the senior year some were expecting due in large part to his offensive line.
