Cool brother, understand but i think what Au165 says here is a better comparison.

The misses are base related and can be fixed by repetition, they especially lack after he changes his launch point so focusing on resetting is big. Progressions aren’t bad it’s throw selection.He has a gunslinger mentality but he is making NFL throws in a pro system. He’ll have to learn the cost of turnovers in the NFL but Big Ben does similar things at times. If he was in Oklahoma States system with that completion percentage I’d be worried, but the throws he tried to make were tough throws in medium to deep range. The drops I reference were to the “easy” drops not the volume. His cast was bad and pressure up the middle breeds happy feet even when no pressure is coming.
I know the Locker comparison is the thing right now, but I think his mentality as far as wanting to take chances is more of his issue than lockers. I do wish his short accuracy was better but fastball throwers do tend to struggle with the touch needed for short throws. I’d honestly love to see him in an old school Bruce Arians down field attacking system. I think he has to get somewhere that he can be encouraged to take shots and make mistakes early in his career while learning from them.
Quick Edit: I was reading a comparison this morning of him to Brett Favre and that actually may be a good comp. Kind of a boom or bust gunslinger than can run and likes to take chances but will sometimes give a game away with turnovers. Favre came out of Southern Miss with a 52% completion percentage as well. Just thought it was an interesting comp I hadn't thought about.
