    He looks like a legit gunslinger to me. I think it's the best QB TBS video I've seen since I started watching them when Casey Paus was recruited. It's not as exciting as Stanback's or Locker's but sure looks better if you're looking for evidence of polished QB play. He makes every kind of throw and hits most of them in the facemask, goes through his reads, anticipates, and manipulates defenders with his eyes. His throwing motion is quick and velocity is there when he needs it. He has mobility similar to the guys UW has right now. I don't see anything not to like.

    OK. This kid looks like QB1 for next year. His line protected him fairly well but showed good evasive ability when they didn't. Stands up in the pocket and is comfortable there when under some pressure. Sets feet well. Amazing touch on the deep ball. The best part though, was looking at his eyes and how he used them for deception.

    Comes from a big passing offense and plays tough competition.

    He'll be QB1.

    Perhaps wishful thinking and the blue unis, but he does remind me a Kellen Moore, except with better throwing mechanics.

    A lot to assume at this poont. We'll have to see how he adjusts to reading defenses, having inferior receivers, etc. All I'll say at this poont is it does appear like he'll at least be in the competition for the starting gig, which makes him only the second incoming UW QB I've ever thought that about, with Lockner. Of course, during the run of highly rated Puyallup QB's we always had established quality on the depth chart ahead of them.

    I haven't watched many, but Lindquist looked like a monster in his video. I watched a minute of Browning's. He looked good. It was nice to see he can scramble a little bit.

    Low ball release, and lacks velocity... We will see

    Haha you suck Dennis. I'll bet you 20 Sven bucks he turns out good. This offense needs a pocket passer...a guy who can slide a bit to elude the rush and get the ball out quick when he makes reads. Miles will never be that guy. He doesn't have the poise or the arm. Troy Williams could be but didn't show much promise in his first chance. He's not out of the running though. Two years from now it's either going to be Browning, Williams, or maybe the hyphenated guy. I'll put my Sven $$ on Browning.
    20 Sven bucks it is. It's a hard bet to make because even if he's really good, he could be behind KCMasterpiece-Jenkins his whole career. Still, I just think his ball placement (75k) isn't good, his velocity is average and he's in a system that highlights what he can do.

    I honestly didn't see one pass that got me excited. But I don't know anything, it's just what I think.
