I watched the video in your link of every pass he threw at FSU. A few observations:
1. Elite arm strength
2. Excellent combination of size, height, and mobility
3. Excellent pocket presence
4. Average decision making. Tends to force a lot of throws. Loves to check down to the HB (similar to what AJ did last year).
5. Average accuracy. Makes some NFL throws and then follows it up with bad misses on easy targets.
Essentially, he has unlimited raw ability, but needs a lot of work. Bama will likely go extremely run heavy, with lots of check downs to the HB and TE, along with a few deep plays to Cooper until Coker can settle in and learn to play within Saban's conservative passing offense. I feel confident that will be enough to win our first six games, and we will really get to see what he can do starting with the aTm game.

Most of his passes were 5 yard slants or dig routes. He missed on half of those passes. If Winston barely beat him out in the Fall, then something happen in the regular season that made him regress.
