Yeah, he definitely needs time. Some of those wow throws he made at A&M he should've thrown out of bounds. Many of them will get picked off in the NFL.
What i like is that he improved every season and i just love his movement and motion. He's actually a much better runner than he's given credit for. All of those things bode well for him winning the QB2 job.
Can he be a quality starter in the NFL? Odds are against it. But the odds are against Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, Jones and Fields, too. Sure, the odds are higher, but still against. All QBs are shots in the dark at getting lucky. Past the 1st round they're blindfolded trick shots in the dark...from half court. But Mond was my favorite shot.
And the fact that we got him for nothing (*cough* Bears) is a beautiful thing. It's a no-cost gamble.

That's why this is an under rated pick. We've got the same relative upside with minimal investment. A larger Wilson? Kaepernick? Brett Hundley? Dunno. But the upside is intoxicating.

Thats the best part about it. Fields is the better prospect, but if you watch his highlights right after Monds and compare what was given up for each. I think I'd take Mond in the 3rd with 2 years to sit vs Fields for 2x #1s and expected to start right away.
One thing that’s popping out to me is his ability to stay upright through contact. No he’s not Big Ben but on a lot of plays, especially once he gets moving downhill in a run, he’s breaking arm tackles. Things will be different in the NFL of course but it’s cool to see him able to withstand some contact and keep a play alive.
I’m just happy to have a backup QB with some sliver of upside. As crazy as it seems, I’m pretty sure it’s been decades since we’ve had that.

How many college QBs don't improve year after year and keep their job? Fact is his Passing pct. his senior yr. is on par where the rest of the draftees started their freshman yrs.
He can run and sling it, but can he process quick enough and be accurate in the NFL? Call me skeptical.
most of the throws in that 7 minute video are legit completions, they werent just a matter of the defender not making a play on a poorly thrown ball, or a matter of a defender being completely burnt... those are legit NFL type windows he was throwing into and was putting the ball in great places.
In traffic he moves well... and often had both hands on the ball held high so it couldnt be popped out easily, or he had it tucked away if he was taking off running. ball protection looks to be years ahead of Cousins already.
I like how elusive he can be while still looking down field, but when its not there he was quick to tuck the ball and take the yardage given to him.
yes he needs a lot of growth time, but IMO he looks every bit the part and is no weaker of a prospect than Lance is. A lot of Lances throws are well under thrown and would either have been picks or not attempted except the receiver was so wide open.

Absurd in two ways. This is one of the throws I was thinking would likely be picked off in the NFL. It's crazy how accurate the throw is but perhaps a little ill advised.
