    AI has this to say:

    Limitations (the big reason he wasn’t a Round 1 guy)
    • Below‑average arm strength
    • Deep ball accuracy issues
    • Struggles driving the ball downfield
    • Too many passes batted at the line
    • Limited mobility
    • Older prospect

    He may have done that a time or two in college, but that doesn't mean he can do it in the pros, especially if tests such as the 40 reveal limited athletic ability.

    Did that last throw at his pro day go almost 90 yards? Looks like he threw it from around the 9 and it flew to like the 2 or 3 yard line. Is that a short field?

    He launched that thing, on the money too. Another trait that fits MM who likes to go vertical.

    For a rb.
    If You can move left , right, forward, and backwards a whole pace smoothly, that's all You need. That is a art lost to most Qbs today. If You are a bullfighter You don't run from the bull. If You are a boxer, or kickboxer, You don't run from a punch, or a kick. It's all about subtle moves. I guarantee a bull is is faster, and bigger than any player.

    Well I keep hearing how is arm is shot after the surgery, then I watch that throw, somebody's math isn't adding up. Pro day or not, that was a missile .

    The knock is he doesnt have the zip to fit it into tight windows but his deep ball is very good.

    Everything I have been reading says it takes 2 years for your arm to get back to where it was before that injury. That would be this season.

    I’m not going to get into all the various non football arguments going on in here. MM has indicated that you can never have enough QBs on the roster. He said something to that effect at today’s Owners meet. That’s a unique philosophy akin to most of us that say that in regard to OL men. So, with that said they’re going to draft a QB somewhere in this draft and it would NOT surprise me if it’s Beck.

    Pretty accurate AI assessment. I saw him play in person many times. Good college QB, but lacks starter quality tools for the NFL.
