I definitely see the Josh Allen comparisons, plus (and I hate saying this), I see some of the pre-OxyContin Favre in the kid, too. It's a little worrisome, because NFL level CBs wouldn't allow some of those highlights, but he's also a little older, now, and has been working with KOC & co.

I've been really impatient for seasons before this one, but this might be the most painful July I can remember....

Well, this one was his first playing time in a real college game in mop up duty (Cade McNamara was starting) as a true freshman toward the end of a blowout win against Western Michigan I believe. Not sure I'd really put anything into that. I mean this was back in 2021....he was 18 years old. Nothing to lose here so he lets it rip. Michigan Nation was gaga over his potential as he was the highest rated HS QB ever recruited by Michigan.

Oh yeah, fully aware he was just a couple months away from his senior prom at this point. It's the kind of cross-body throw that will drive coaches mad. Still, it shows ridiculous arm strength for an 18 year old.

He planted before he threw. It wasn't the traditional scramble to the right and throw left type of throw, though it still was impressive and maybe not a throw you consistently want to resort to.
