He would need a year or so to sit. He has all the tools, if I'm Saban I don't worry about his footwork or mechanics at all, I worry about if he can handle a pro offense, make sure he can handle an NFL playbook.
He dosn't stare recievers down, dosn't make too many bad throws, has a good feel for pressure, and makes some really good plays. But he definatly isn't a quick fix, he needs to learn and develop, but this guy has first round talent, and would have been if he didn't get hurt and have a very dissapointing game against Boise State on ESPN. A buddy of mine that knows him well told me that he was going through some personal problems the first few weeks of school, and they were really affecting his play.
I've seen him play nearly every start he has made, and the majority of them live. Hell I lived the floor above the guy last year and he spent alot of time playing Madden in the guy across the hall from me room. Nice guy, pretty quiet though. I'll give you guys a full writeup of my opinion of him when I get a chance in the next few days. I'll try to be as non-bias as possible, because I've noticed flaws in his game I can point out. But for right now, I'd say this guy could be a major steal in the 3rd-4th round, and might be perfect for a Linehan style offense.
