For a guy with a Mel Kiper pokemon as an avatar you would think you'd know something about a college player translating to the NFL.

Winston has all the physical tools (athleticism, arm strength, size) that translates to the NFL.
He can read a defense and make adjustments at the line.
He runs a pro style offense that relies on anticipation throws and route trees that many NFL offenses run.
You can't rattle him, look how often FSU was down this year and he led them back every time except tonight which you can pretty much put on his skill players and not him. He didn't fumble the ball away 4 times and drop multiple passes that should have been caught.
He has great ball placement. Watch some of his throws tonight, tight windows and he hit them.

I guess I don't really see where he can't be a good/great NFL QB. He does have a tendency to make high/bad throws but that's nothing that can't be fixed. That's pretty much the only knock on him outside of off the field issues. You can throw the INT #'s out there but if you watch them a lot were on his young (freshman) receivers being out of place/running the wrong route. Yes he did force passes but he was much better at checking down this year than he was last year.

I kinda think that wherever he goes, that team is probably going to draft Rashad in the 4th+ rounds to keep him having some familiarity and chemistry off the bat

Neither does Russell Wilson. He has the agility to be elusive, and that's what matters as far as making things happen in the pocket. He just doesn't have breakaway speed, so he's the kind of guy who can potentially pick up 5-15 yards gains consistently when the defense gives him a lane. Not gonna turn those into 60 yarders like young Vick could do though.

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea, plus you know getting a decent WR to boot. Rashad probably won't tear the NFL up but he could be a good slot/#2 type guy.

You cannot real avatar shame a guy when you are wearing a giant homer flag.

But whatever, I feel what you are saying. I just feel like the NFL is built upon the graves of guys with the physical tools who can read college level defenses. I also really do not think you can discount his meltdown tonight. Yes, its one game, but its also the only game he lost and he did not handle it well.

Wilson is still taller and way more athletic than Manziel. He also has better arm strength and accuracy down field. I mean, this is a ridiculous comparison. The only agility I saw was him avoiding a first hit in the pocket and immediately being taken down one yard later because he can't get away.

It's also one of the few games where he faced anything resembling the type of competition he can expect in every game for his entire NFL career outside of the 4th quarter of preseason games. Gabbert absolutely should have been discounted for one game, because it was the only one that put him in an NFL position and he failed miserably.

Did you watch anything of him in college? Arguing about whether he can translate it to the NFL is a separate thing. Dude is wriggly as gently caress.

I wouldn't read into tonights game re Winston much at all, Oregon has a really bad defense and he was throwing to wide open receivers, and on the other hand the turnovers were pretty flukey. He dropped in a real nice pass in traffic early on. I think he's a head case though. Odd case, very interesting.

He really struggled early on, and seemed like he couldn't get on target with anything other than screens, but you can't put the whole game on him. There were a few of those passes that, had they been better placed, the receiver would've had an easier job not fumbling it, but NFL guys can generally hold on to the drat ball in those situations. It got pretty ridiculous. He lost his poo poo out there though, and that's concerning, especially if he goes early and is expected to play for a poo poo team where bad things are going to happen.
