Watched Goff once early in the season, forget who they were playing. My takeaway was that it's a really bad year for QBs if he's the cream of the crop.
Good job. I appreciate Slimm because he's up to date on the Pac 12 far beyond the vast majority of draft analysts in the East.
Goff deserves to be first among this group. I was worried Dykes might kill him as a freshman. Slight frame and throwing incessantly on a terrible team. Last season the uptick was considerable, both for the team and player. Kind of the opposite of what Hackenberg did.
Hard to believe Gunner Kiel is still an underclassman. I'm disappointed in Tuberville for allowing so much imbalance. Kiel was injured going into the game against the Canes last year so it was difficult to get a good read on him. Overall it was one finesse play after another, not unlike what Cal does. I hope to attend the Canes game at Cincinnati on Thursday night this fall. Should be a real battle, unlike the lopsided result in 2014.
I am certainly no expert scout but I watch a lot of FSU. He looks the part and has a lot of heart and leadership, it seems. However, he cracks under pressure and can be confused by good defenses as witnessed in the Clemson and Houston games this year. He does have a nice deep ball and good, if not great, arm strength. However, with all that being said, I don't see him coming out this year. He has a good chance to be the starter next year and I don't see him getting drafted above maybe the 6th or 7th, if at all.Any thoughts on Sean Maguire from FSU?
Goff reminds me a bit too much of guys like Brian Hoyer or Kirk Cousins, backup quality NFL players. That's in terms of overall physical ability. I wouldn't say that's an arm strength thing. The arm strength is fine. But I think there's no doubting that Connor Cook and especially Paxton Lynch have better overall physical ability.
