I think your concerns were valid. There are definitely differences in his mechanics and the quality of his deep ball passes that we have seen in the first three games versus those we saw at Gday.
I think after last night it's obvious that he has the poise and "it" factor to lead the team, and the velocity on his short and intermediate passes shows that the arm strength is there. I haven't rewatched the game, but he threw a 15 yard out near the beginning of the game that I remember immediately thinking was an NFL throw that not many college QBs can hit.
All in all, LOTS of room to improve. Lots of freshman mistakes. Needs to work on deep ball mechanics and reading through full progressions faster. BUT, he is the guy, and after what I saw yesterday, I think we are going to lose some games, but I also think 10 keeps us in some games we shouldn't be in.

Thanks, NC!
For me the best long pass he has thrown all season was the one to Reggie Davis that was a PI. (I think it was called a PI...if not it should have been) It was a nice pass with plenty of zip.
I think some on here misunderstood what I was saying and thought I was insinuating he was not good. Nothing could have been further from the truth. I was just concerned...and I am honestly not as concerned about his arm today as I was yesterday. Now, believing it is a mechanics issue and not a physical issue...that can be fixed.
