saves said:You are completely uneducated on Jacobs skills or system.
His arm strength, while good, is definatly not his strongest asset. He has the ability to evade pressure while still keeping his eyes down field, knows how to go through his progressions, and has never had any trouble with his mechanics. He is the LEADER of a offense that has never really been too gimicky, and has spent most of his career throwing the same routes he will be in the NFL. The same offense that produced well over 1000 yards rushing and is much more balanced than people think. Just because the majority of the time is spent in shotgun dosn't make it a gimmick offense, and for as many prospects that didn't make it from a shotgun offense I can give you one who did. And you can't even start to tell me he dosn't have accuracy and expect me to believe you know what your talking about.
And he is nothing like the last BG QB (JOSH Harris) who was an option QB with a strong arm. The offense was run differently then and the team was based around Harris's ability to improvise and be a threat on the ground. He didn't have NFL accuracy and looked to run before pass. He also didn't possess NFL size or the feel for the passing game he needed to succeed. Because of these things, he was not even considered close to the prospect that Jacobs is.
Jacobs has everything you look for in an NFL QB, if he can handle it mentaly he will be a starter in the NFL. And thats what separates him from other quarterbacks you lable as having the "Couch Syndrom".
High completion percentage and low Int's spells good things to me. Saban will study all the QB's in depth. Croyle mentioned as an injury prone guy who can play by some, but wasnt Channing Crowder an injury waiting to happen? Saban will draft his man for sure. Just want to know who that will be cus he wont tell a soul and what he does tell, he will be throwing out pearls so others bite the guy he doesnt want.
As for the Cutler folks, you better hope Cutler sucks in the Senior bowl and in combines, cus Saban is going to draft a defensive guy first, especially if we were to get Hutchinson in FA.
