    He’s good. Been groomed his entire life. But is he THE QB we’ve been sold on and told to believe is the best? He’s had some absolute studs at WR. I’m just not sure I see what everyone else does.

    Solid but not an elite playmaker to me.

    Well, he was coached up by his dad his entire life, but, maybe I'll try not to hold that against him.

    He has to take some more strides before he is a Burrow's or Daniel's level

    He has potential. Will he have weapons?

    Nussmeier in German means nut farmer. Is he a great QB? I say "nuts" to that.

    Those better be gargantuan strides IMO. He isn't in the same universe with them currently.

    I’ve been wondering the exact same thing. Good question, sir!

    Maybe I’m biased because of his meh effort in the Swamp last year but I’ve wondered about this a lot. Don’t understand the love. He’s not bad at all but the hype seems way too much.

    Methinks he has a very nice floor, but a hard ceiling. If he is lucky, he will get about 4 years of NFL backup QB pay. After that...

    I agree with this - he is solid - but not spectacular from what I have seen. He seems to avoid the really bad plays - but doesnt make many amazing plays.

    Those strides better look more like leaps and bounds.
