The knocks on him were arm strength, not a dual threat, and size. He was considered smart, good decision maker, mastered his offense, accurate, throws receivers open, etc.
I watched the kid play several times at Iowa State, and he was about all they had and the kid had game. I just knew he was small, not a good runner, and little arm strength. You block for him, he's a poor man's Andy Dalton. You can take a less talented guy that is smart and win games with him. Still, SFs staff is very good, for sure.
SF is certainly putting together a bizarrely compelling narrative. I feel like going into Philly and facing that pass rush and high powered offense should be when he falters, but people have been predicting that he and that team fall to earth every week for months.
