[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 873960, member: 11933"] I watched this game for the first time this morning from start to finish, and let me tell you right now from a guy who hated the move for Love...it was highly impressive. To your point, he was going up against as impressive a defensive unit as you’ll find in college football. But he was making as many plays as he could, given what he had to work with. Running game was non existent for most of the game, pressure coming at his face consistent, receivers dropping balls including a deep post that was a walk in touchdown that was dropped. He clearly has a lot of tools though. He has arm talent that cannot be coached. It’s God given. He’s an effortless thrower of the football. He can loft it, but has some impressive zip when needed to get it over the top of linebackers, but beat the high coverage. I was impressed with his ability to stand in the pocket and drive some balls down the field against that defense. Couple of things that really stood out: - had the awareness to catch LSU with too many men on the field with a quick snap (any Packer fans seen that before?) and not only that, dropped a dime down the sideline. - the ability is there to throw from multiple platforms, and the ball wind up in a decent spot for receivers. It isn’t elite, but it can be tuned into an elite trait. - they were pushing the ball down the field, and he takes the snap, immediately looks to the left to shift the single high safety, then launches it down the right sideline. Now that play resulted in a underthrown ball that was intercepted by a quality DB, but there are things to like a lot. Things I don’t like? Footwork leaves something to be desired, undisciplined too often, antsy in the pocket at times (fair against LSU). He had some bad interceptions, the last two of which he was just trying to do too much in a lopsided game. But yeah. You mentioned it before. If you watch his tape against an insane LSU team and aren’t impressed, something is wrong with your eyes. Looking at his numbers in a box score does no justice for some of the things he was able to do in that game. [/QUOTE]
