He doesn't have a cannon. Arm isn't that strong but what worries me the most is his accuracy. We'll see if it improves. He is fun to watch, but I'm not sure how much running around he'll be able to do with defenses that have fast LBs and ends. We'll see.

The talent is definitely there I would just like to see him hang in the pocket and go through his progressions a little more. UF was smart in the first game with their 2nd half adjustments. The Gator fans around me couldn't understand why UF started holding their D-Line back in the 2nd half but to that point he hadn't shown the ability to throw down field, so why blitz him and give him the ability to slip away like the first half. Not saying we would have won, but I really would have liked to seen that Florida game again, had we not had our first game postponed.

Right, he's not going to outrun Mingo and he's not going to beat the Tide's D on his own. That's why the qualifier 'with appropriate personnel' in the OP. But either way I like exciting football and am glad he is in the conference, and wish him well (except against LSU).

I got lambasted pretty bad for my opinion already on this after the FLA but I honestly think he has a ceiling like RG3 ...
He has all the tools you look for in a QB and if Sumlin brings him along right, I can see him being a Heisman candidate later on in his career.
