re: Austin Mack - Player Profile

VERY raw.

Relative to D1 playing time ? Yes.

Raw with his footwork ? No way, he has great feet, look how still his head is when he moves around in the pocket.

His pocket awareness appears to be better than any of the QB's we have on roster, but that is moving at HS speed so definitely have to see how that translates, but Im super impressed with how naturally he steps into the pocket and then makes every little step he has to without being sacked and keeping his eyes downfield, and keeping his base in position to throw the ball. His head stays very still, like a HOF center fielder chasing a fly ball - their eyes dont bounce.

Understanding the system - I mean you'd have to say hes the most advanced of any of them for obvious reasons. He moved his way up the UW depth chart and was the next QB off the bench in last years title game. DeBear and Grubb both literally GUSH over this kid. They watched him in practice all season, and know more than any of us so... me thinks he's a good 1

If we hire an offensive coach and then immediately limit the offense by choosing a QB that cant run his offense I'll be disappointed.
