One man's opinion: MS raved about his physical tools but, from his analysis, CW locks onto his primary, is slow to come off the primary, very rarely gets beyond the secondary option and doesn't appear to make any pre-snap reads. Going further, he stated that evaluating college QBs is almost impossible. They aren't given much to process and, for the most part, aren't playing even a somewhat similar system to an NFL system so they come into the league with generally great measurables/athleticism but pretty much no knowledge whatsoever of how to play QB in the NFL.
At least with Coen, our QBs were basically running a dumbed-down NFL system. I hope Hamdan can continue to incorporate NFL concepts to some extent (while being effective on the college level) so that remains what I perceive as a recruiting tool.
He quoted a stat re: college QBs along the lines of 75+% of 1st round QBs drafted don't really pan out and rarely get a 2nd contract. If they do, they're 2nd or 3rd string backups who rarely play. Have no idea if that is accurate but there have been many, many good college QBs who don't last in the NFL much beyond their rookie contract.
