Glory Glory to Ole Georgia
Here are some evaluations (from ESPN Insider) on how the Qbs did in their first Senior Bowl practice. Enjoy.
Cutler
Cutler showed up in very good shape. Looks quick in his drops and shows good mobility. Cutler has very good arm strength and gets necessary RPMs on the deep out route. He shows the ability to fit the ball into tight spots. He also shows adequate touch and timing. He will need to improve his mechanics, especially his footwork as a passer. He is too streaky in terms of his accuracy. Missed a few open receivers that he should have hit during drills today.
Croyle
Unimpressive looking at the weigh-in. Even smaller than expected and does not look the part of a future NFL QB. He shows a strong arm -- not quite as strong as Darrell Hackney but stronger than D.J. Shockley. Has adequate release quickness. Timing was off in practice. Did not show great accuracy and is clearly feeling out his receivers right now. Seemed a bit overwhelmed.
Shockley
Shockley really struggled as a passer today. His timing was off, and he never seemed to settle into a groove. He has the worst arm strength of the three QBs on the South roster (Brodie Croyle and Darrell Hackney). He missed too many open receivers during drills and seemed to get frustrated a bit. He does show quick feet and very good mobility. He has taken off nearly 10 pounds from his playing weight earlier this season. He measured in at under 6-1, which won't help his cause as an NFL prospect at the QB position.
Robinson (PSU)
Robinson played only the quarterback position during practice today, but he did get some pre-practice work as a return specialist. He has taken off some weight but looks in good shape. He is quick and mobile. Is at his best as a passer when rolling out of the pocket and creating on the move. Otherwise, he looks completely in over his head at the QB position. He struggles to see behind his offensive line and seems to be constantly fighting to find passing windows. His mechanics are marginal. His delivery is too long. Shows marginal arm strength and accuracy. He is too late to make throws and he doesn't have the arm to make up for it. He would be better served to spend the rest of this week at wide receiver or running back. He is wasting his time at the QB position.
