[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 75160, member: 639"] Thanks for this. Hey, I understand who the competition has been to this point. I know it won't all be peaches and cream and the sledding is going to get a lot tougher, especially with regards to pressure in the backfield. He will have to continue to adjust and he hasn't proven himself fully yet. However, I base my comments on things that tend to translate well against all defenses. He runs the O faster. That will force the D to play faster. That will, in turn create more mistakes and creases. He gets the ball out quickly. That plays really well against teams bent on coming with numbers. He has the arm strength and apparently the touch and accuracy to drop balls into the gaps of a defense, whether deep or underneath. This also plays well against a team stacking the run. He is a plus scrambler (can this even be challenged at this point?). That will help keep plays alive. He appears to see the field really well and doesn't lock in to a single receiver. Possibly the best of all is that he throws well on the run. Given our pass pro issues over the years this is huge. None of the GT QBs (CPJ era) before him can say the same. TW and Vad could throw a little stepping into the motion but weren't good on the run. Neither was Josh. Just think about how effective our offense has been over the last 6 years WITHOUT these attributes at QB. Josh got it done by sheer will and talent around him. Tevin ran the offense well and developed some as a passer, but the voltage was a lot lower in all physical categories (like speed, arm strength etc). Vad was tentative and slow. The easiest thing in the world is to wait until AFTER a kid establishes himself and say I told you so. I really enjoy projecting athletes into their futures. I have doing it for years helping players and organizations alike. I don't make these predictions with every player to come down the road. I AM with Justin. I am on record now. JT will raise the bar. Let's see how it plays out. Bottom line: football is a team game. It just helps the team a lot when the QB has these attributes. Unresolved questions: Ball Security, has it really improved?. Pressure, will he be able to handle it and still be steady handed? [/QUOTE]
