Watch him throw. He is mediocre as an actual passer by college standards; by pro standards he's a joke.
THIS.
Just watch the Alabama game. EVERY pass he threw should have been intercepted. He threw up lollipops all game, and the DBs never turned their heads to find the ball, something that won't happen in the NFL.
I've never seen him make an NFL throw, and I saw every game he played outside of 2. You ever see him throw a deep out? Hit a WR on the outside shoulder on an out by the sideline? Hit a WR between a safety and LB on a slant with a small window?
I've seen him throw to wiiiiiiiide open WRs or guys one on one with DBs a few feet shorter than them. I've never seen him make the throws he'll need in the NFL.
That's not to say he CAN'T. Just that I haven't seen it. Passes that stay in the air over 4 seconds won't make it in the NFL. Throwing the ball up for grabs isn't going to work in the NFL.
