    Wide open won’t happen enough against good teams to miss lead pipe cinch touchdowns.

    As for fragility, the topic was his NFL stock. Not a risk worth a load of draft capital if it was up to me.

    These are called opinions. Sorry I scared you.

    I won't disagree with you in his draft stock. He's a perfect "buy low" candidate in my eyes and I doubt he'll be a first round pick. If I'm a team who wants him I'm definitely going to play coy and mention his injury history a lot and for as many ears to hear as possible.

    I'm not even sure about the fragile label anymore since we've never seen him show any signs of it, but he does have a track record prior to UW.

    He can't afford to keep missing big shots to open receivers though. Two of his 55 yard flicks should have only gone 50 yards in the opening quarter of game one. It's something I'm sure we'll all be keeping an eye on.
    In my opinion he often looks gimpy after light contact. And sometimes it's after contact with the ground alone. He looks to me like a guy who needs a lot of work on how to take contact and fall. I definitely agree with the "buy low" part; it's not that he's a bad draft pick . . . if he's there in the third or fourth round.

    Anyone can get injured in football. But with some guys injuries almost look inevitable.

    You all are insane if you think Penix goes later than round 2. Have you been paying attention to how desperate teams are to find QB's in the NFL? Look at the dogshit guys taken in the Top-10 every year.

    You're making my point, actually.

    "The scouts" routinely miss on QBs. And teams make bad bets as a result.

    I want him to make bank somewhere, but outside of Seattle. I see him as a guy who will struggle to stay healthy.
