| Professional Scouting Report | Stylistically, Jay Cutler mixed with Derek Anderson. He’s not as big as either guy. Has some Jeff Garcia in him. One scout in Mobile called him a "bigger, faster Rex Grossman."
|
| Strengths | Good size with nice weight-room body. Very athletic, which he proved at the Senior Bowl by running fluidly on a surgically repaired knee, as he did the entire 2008 season. Strong pocket awareness and fluidity, feels the rush and has a plan of escape. Very compact, quick release, and he doesn’t waste a lot of motion or energy in his delivery or movement. Great snap on his throws, really guns the ball on deep outside routes. Throws with accuracy and zip on the move to either side; throws while running to his left better than most pros. Has answered the questions regarding his forced departure from Oklahoma with maturity and professionalism. Dominated like he should at the FCS level. Very confident in himself and not afraid to lead. Asked a lot of smart questions at the Senior Bowl workouts, which impressed coaches.
|
| Weaknesses | Comes from one of the lesser FCS conferences and has not faced live action against any future NFL players since his freshman year at Oklahoma or the Senior Bowl (though he did fare well against Kansas in 2008). Not real tall, which is more of a problem because he throws a very flat, low-trajectory ball. Very strong habit of staring down his receiver, and when he doesn’t he often delivers the ball late or off the mark. Has built sort of a bubble of bravado around himself, no doubt in part to protect against all the Sooner questions. He left Oklahoma as part of a work-fraud booster scandal which was exacerbated by issues with the basketball coach cheating as well. His apprehension and solitary nature are perfectly understandable but need to be smoothed down. Some find his self-confidence off-putting. Does have the nasty knee injury, though he is clearly 100% recovered.
