TJ Finley may ultimately suck as much as him, but at least he attempts passes that might lead to something. His biggest issue is that like most guys who have HUGE arms, he tends to push things too much. But what you saw out of him against Ga State is something you rarely see from Nix: he climbs the pocket and throws over the heart of the field which is generally where defenses "lose" receivers when pressure breaks the play down.

This is the difference b/t a QB who is athletic but doesn't throw an accurate ball in different scenarios(deep, sideline, etc.) and a QB who is a PASSER who under duress or scrambling can make fairly accurate throws for completions.

On one play...remember the sideline pass Finley threw to Canion, as Finley was scrambling to his right, and Canion made a really nice catch before going out of bounds along the sideline?

Notice one thing about Finley. WHen Finley decides to throw it, he doesn't throw it too far towards the way Canion is almost out of bounds, no, he throws it to a spot inside the sideline, where Canion can reach to and catch it, keep his feet in bounds and make a legit catch.

The difference between a QB who just throws it, and QB who is thinking where he needs to throw it, to allow the WR a chance.

Finley, as you say may wilt under the pressure he is going to get, but he looks the part of a QB who helps a WR when the ball is coming to him...
