My take when I watched all-play vids from his Alabama games was that he has a really good processor and decent arm talent. He's the best in this class above the neck.
The problem I saw was that his athleticism and ability to scramble are nowhere near that of undersized guys who've succeeded at NFL quarterback--e.g. Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, maybe Doug Flutie. It's hard to come up with a lot of names.
When you are that small you have to bring that element to your game. A tiny man getting crushed in the pocket by 300 lb linemen on a regular basis is going to struggle, presuming he doesn't just succumb to injuries. I just don't see it working out. Maybe if the Panthers build the best oline in football in front of him he could succeed.
