But I thought he was Jake Heaps and was already maxed out as a sophomore??CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
The 2019 QB battle is gonna be LIT.
They’re all so different too. Morris improved a lot and could be fantastic in our offense. -
Jake Heaps in the Pete system would have been really good.dnc said:

Woah there. Let's not get too carried away. Actually, now that you mention it, did Jake Browning win Pac-12 Offensive POTY last year? Huh. I guess anything's possible. Carry on, then.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Definite quick release which in this offense is money. Kellen Moore was undersized but he got the ball out quick to the right people.
Now, if he is smart enough to read defenses, look out. -
Wish I could say the same about Browning.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Things I liked -
Arm strength. Has zip on throws, including downfield. Also showed good downfield accuracy, as the ball was on time.
Hits his back foot and unloads. This could be a function of making good pre-snap reads or command of his offense, but either way, it's nice to see a guy take his drop and have the ball come out on his third step.
Good under center and in the gun.
Play fakes are ok, not great, But better than being utter trash, especially as a high schooler who has time to pickup the nuances of better play action.
Things I disliked -
Absolutely zero progression through reads in these highlights. Only got to his second receiver a couple of times.
Didn't use eyes to look off defenders. Not a huge thing when his primary target was open so often, but at the next level, staring those guys down is going to get him picked often.
Need to watch some full game tape, as highlights don't tell the whole picture, but this kid looks good and I'm glad he's coming. -
The best thing about a kid like Morris is you'll have him for 5 years.
The same would have been true with Jake had we had any other options -
This is a good point. Dylan Morris as a 23 year old QB with 5 years in our system will be a BAWS. So, yes, 2023 will be SPECIAL!!!dhdawg said:The best thing about a kid like Morris is you'll have him for 5 years.

For some reason, I always assume this is Kamari Pleasant's account.kh83 said:Things I liked -

Also, looking guys off and shit is not really that important IMO. Yes, obviously you want the kid to do it eventually, but that's shit you can coach. I'm watching film for all the first things you said - how is he physically?
The great thing about him is he's got a quick release and he's really accurate. Not an amazing arm, but it's fine. Him Sirm and Yanky are all really different players. He seems closest to the Pete "The Only QB Who Has Ever Been Good Is Kellen Moore" prototype, so he'll probably start for us in 2019. -
Fuck. This is kind of what I'm feeling. I like the guy, but I also have this nagging feeling he's another short spread guy who is great throwing to his first read against shit teams and can take us to the first round of the playoffs against Bama and then throw five batted passes at the line, one of which turns into a pick six. Four years in a row.Dennis_DeYoung said:The great thing about him is he's got a quick release and he's really accurate. Not an amazing arm, but it's fine.

Is optimism something that can be learned?
