There are no certainties, but the kid has every single tool you look for and if he is coached properly, he WILL be a premier QB in the league. Top ten. Once the old guard (Brady, Manning, Brees, ETC) hangs em up he will rise up into the top five.
Tools that are elite:
poise
vision
accuracy
elusiveness in the pocket
anticipation
ball placement
intelligence
Tools that are very good:
arm strength
mobility
leadership
preparation
size
command of multiple offenses
With all of the guys tools, I simply don't see a way he busts in the NFL and that he has a high chance of being an elite quarterback.
I think the guy has taken the heat for opposing teams figuring out a West Virginia team that runs a simplified offense that has a weak offensive line and defense and that on a team like ours he can be a huge success.
