So he can move. Everyone knew that.

The issue is he can't play QB.

He was dumb for going back to Arkansas this season. Should've upgraded to better surroundings.

Another Matt Jones except he didn't win any big games.

Those measurable are unreal. I don’t care what you think of him as a QB. He’s an athletic freak.

One of the lowest field IQ QBs you'll ever see.

Zero awareness. Zero pocket presence. Negative zero decision making. Negative zero clutch gene.

He's be an unstoppable red zone WR though, and could probably play 10-15 yrs in the league at that role.

At QB, he won't even make a team.

I’d still take him over Anthony Richardson

He couldn't even win the starting job at Boise State. He was lucky to be where he was.

Some team is gonna take a gamble on him

Hopefully they can get more out of him than Petrino did


They will be highly disappointed on the gamble. He put up great combine numbers. Awesome.

For as much as the scouts will love his speed and jumping ability, but his in game decision making, ability to read defenses and ball security is terrible.

Which could’ve easily been 10 and 2.

Are you dumb?

You can't go 10-2 when your defense is ranked:

#121 in total defense out of 134 teams
#127 in scoring defense out of 134 teams
#119 in 3rd down defense out of 134 teams

We weren't close to being 10-2. Jesus Christ.

If you draft him, you take him as a project. TE or WR. He's an athletic freak of nature. I would say defense but his ability to read plays is... not so hotso.

Green was also, objectively speaking, a lousy QB with a ton of bad on the field habits.

He should probably be a decathlete or something because despite all those gifts he isn’t a very good QB.

You have no idea how much that would have improved our season. A nice enough guy by all accounts, but Green had an almost super human ability to make bad mistakes in crunch time.
