re: Is Justyn Ross Elite?

Every NFL pundit from Atlanta to Los Angeles has him circled as the most "can't miss" prospect since Andrew Luck. He has every measurable one wants in a QB, and is the definition of "poised."

He carved up our defense, and many others throughout the year. Did we play our best football? No. But he was a true freshman, and a lot of kids his age wouldn't be able to take advantage of some of the errors we made on defense.

Right now Trevor Lawrence and Tua are both elite prospects who will be holding a jersey on-stage next to Roger Goodell before the first commercial break when it's their year to be drafted.

Unless your definition of "elite" is "certain NFL Hall of Famer," I think your being a bit biased about what happened last January, and you're evaluation of Trevor as a QB.

Wouldn't know what any "pundit" says. They usually don't know shite and/or just keep repeating the same narratives because they are lazy and don't give a shite or going against the narrative can eat at their credibility.

Saw the same shite with Manziel and it was obvious as hell he was going to be a bust. They do not know shite, they are for entertainment purposes. But it was obvious to anyone who actually looked at the plays and how they happened that he did not have the skills claimed.

Not that Lawerence is a Manziel type, he's way better than Manziel.

So I reject your appeal to authority and choose to look at the game itself.

And on that note feel free to prove me wrong. I challenged the rant to this already and nobody could provide the footage. Again I saw 1 great play he made.

"Elite prospect" is a bit different than being elite. He has great arm strength and speed on the ball and the measurables. He has the potential to be elite, that doesn't mean he is elite already.

Go back and watch the game, I have several times. Look at how much time he has in the pocket. Look at how throw after throw is to open recivers. Count how many come at the expense of Savion Smith - like 70 of them in 1 play when he got injured.

Game starts about the 16 minute mark. I forget when the 1 play happens, it's not at the start. But he throws a nice pass that lands just over the defenders head. Outside that, please show me the plays that make him elite in your opinion.
