There’s 4 general skills a QB can be judged on:
1) Arm talent
2) Ability to read defenses and make good decisions
3) Pocket mobility and not Browsocking under pressure
4) Ability to take off and run when the defense leaves a lane open

Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are examples of what happens when you’re elite at all 4.

All we know about Sam Huard right now is that he’s elite at #1. High school defenses are bullshit, so it’s impossible to say anything about #2-4 except that he doesn’t have any red flags in those areas.

Sirmon had a red flag at #2. You could probably say that Eason was in the same boat as Huard coming out... but he ended up being questionable at #2, terrible at #3 and 4. Morris is average at #1/#2 but elite at #3.

TL;DR LIPO with Sam Huard cause we don’t know enough yet

Good list, but you’re missing 5. Toughness and being clutch in big moments and games. Morris so far seems to score high on this one. Not all QBs have this.

1) Arm talent should include accuracy.

Morris actually has a pretty big arm and I expect him to make a 5-10% improvement in his accuracy (from 60.9% to something like 64-67%) as a 2nd year starter.

Not that I am one to defend Brownsocks, but he really had 2 different careers. Before the shoulder injury at Oregon and after. Before he was elite and after he was average. Affected his accuracy and time in pocket significantly.

As for Huard, I alway thought Jughead Brock and his ilk were overrated. Same opinion of Sam until proven otherwise. And I don’t give a damn about running at QB. No QB should run, except to draw a defender to open a receiver.
Jake was never elite. He may have been above average before the injury (against Oregon State), but that requires the qualifiers of "as a sophomore". He most certainly wasn't elite as a freshman.

The problem with that is we're now talking 6 and a half games which is not only a really small sample but a sample in which he only played one close game (Arizona) and never threw more than 28 passes.

I don't think 6 1/2 games where he averaged 24 passes a game is enough to declare someone "elite".
Fair enough. Weak arm and all that.

I really want another Cody Pickett. I hope Slingin’ Sammy H. is all that and griiled cheese on the side.

@ChickenDinnerRoadDawg, true?

Completion percentage and accuracy are two different things. Morris could make those gains without adding any accuracy if our? receivers just catch the damn ball this year.

Morris sucked on anything beyond 15 yards. Could improve though. But that’s what he was this year.

This. He couldn't hit anything downfield. Had the arm, not the accuracy. Stanford laughed and packed the defense in like they were playing against Cyler Miles.
