[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 672019"] As Rodgers observed in the sideline interview, Callahan has that "gamer" quality, a term I used in past years to describe Flynn. What's a gamer? In my book he's a guy who does whatever it takes, improvises when he has to, and grinds it out. His field vision looks pretty good in picking up those open TEs. He's pretty nifty sliding around inside and out of the pocket. He avoided being picked, which is a big plus. On the other hand, it's questionable whether he has NFL arm strength. I was a little disappointed to see the same thing in this game that was in the college tape: when he has to zip the ball 20+ yards from where he's standing he goes to the windup. That 1/10 or 2/10 of a second in release time can make all the difference in hitting a tight window downfield or avoiding a rusher getting a hand on the ball especially since he's a short guy. "Quick release" and "arm strength" are not abstract concepts. Williams? Clearly the better athlete. Better arm strength, outstanding runner...just as in the college tape. But as Gannon observed, his footwork is a bit of a mess. He often throws back foot rather than driving the ball with weight transfer forward. If he can fix that, the arm strength gets better. One thing I'd be concerned about is that exchange with A. Rodgers on the sidelines. They were commiserating over Rodgers notepad, Rodgers pointed to something and said something, and Williams reaction was arms out, palms up in what looked like a gesture of protest. Rodgers just kept looking at the notepad and said nothing more...then cutaway. It would be funny if Williams said, "But you're Aaron Rodgers; that's advanced degree stuff and I'm just a freshman." Not so funny if he finds this pro style stuff frustrating. If you put the best qualities of these two players together you get something that looks like...wait for it....Brett Hundley. I don't know how much I'll be commenting further on these guys. I don't think anybody would want to see either of them on the field for a regular season game this year. Perhaps not ever, but that remains to be seen. [/QUOTE]
