It still amazes me that both Rivals and Scout have him as a two star. Not that I really care, but I do find it interesting. But, the guy is good athlete starring at both football and basketball. He is mobile with a good arm. What are they not seeing?
That's an excellent question. He appears to be just "placing" the ball as opposed to a tight quick release...almost as if he's holding back. I think he could put the ball out a great deal further if he wanted to. He took off like large wide receiver down the sideline.....I don't get it either.
His mechanics. He does a weird lifting of his foot thing when he throws the deep ball and he's a little stiff / clumsy with his throwing motion (could be because he's 6'6 and growing into his body).
A redshirt year of mechanics work and with Harell and he'll be good, but that's why he's not rated highly. He get his mechanics polished to where his footwork is in sync with a sharp throwing motion and he could destroy people. Right now it's a rough model, but the potential is clear.
Honestly thought, most QB's at the high school level have bad mechanics. Heck, most at the college level have bad mechanics. You could be right about the reason though.
I haven't evaluated many QB's, but I would guess he is likely a better athlete than most QB's.
One think that I believe is important is that Hall Mumme personally worked with him. You know they talked in detail about him, then Leach has a better scouting report on Brewer than anyone from Scout or Rivals. Plus, if Mumme would have thought it his mechanics were an issue, he would have corrected them.
Yeah I don't disagree with anything you are saying. We know all of this to be true, but the scout/rivals people are only looking at the tape and offer list. He doesn't have a lot of offers and his tape shows some mechanic issues. So they look at it and give him a couple stars. The more work he gets to polish his technique the better and better and better he will be. His upside is tremendous and we aren't bringing him in to start right away. He's a guy who will learn and get better, and by his Junior/Senior season could just shred people.
Yes, I agree. As I have written, I am much more excited about him that I was with Book. Book kind of reminded me of former Arizona QB 4 star recruit (and bust) Nic Costa.
Everything else, I agree wholehardedly. I think he is a sleeping giant in the Ben Roethlisberger mold. Just think, at around 225 lbs, he is already much bigger than Halliday. I think by the time he sees the field, he will be around 240.
Kind of big for a QB? That reminds me of that clip when Luck was at Stanford, he (or the running back) fumbled the ball. When the defenseman went for it Luck absolutely DESTROYED him. Hell of a hit for a QB.
