    He is draft eligible
    Rumor is
    He might go to LSU with his OC Weis Jr and former HC Lane Kiffin next season

    If he wins an extra year of eligibility... then I could see him head to LSU. That would be a huge move for him... Though its not a foregone conclusion that he will be getting that extra year and might be forced into the draft anyways. If he ends up balling out in the CFP and going far, maybe he declares anyways.

    He's electric, but you have to worry about the same things you worry about other running QB's with more slight builds.... injuries. Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson both have seen their fair share of issues with medicals. I don't know if Chambliss is as electric as either of those guys as a runner, but he is really good. Quite a good option as a dual threat guy. You just have to run an offense that fits his talents. Lots of RPO's and roll outs, as well as some designed runs. I like him as a player and maybe its the move we make at QB if we end up falling in love with the kid. Would be nice to have him start out behind Rodgers for a year, but you never know what will happen.

    Very good passer
    Like I mentioned he would rather pass than run
    Eludes pressure
    Keeps head up and eyes looking downfield for open targets

    Any chance he hits a growth spurt? I am skeptical of shorter qb's

    When he has to run he can really move, runs a 4.45 forty.

    I hadn’t watched him for a full game until the quarterfinal. It was a “wow” performance for sure, but I need to see a lot more to start getting a feel for what his NFL potential is. Some of the off-script stuff was electric, but I was even more surprised by the 2 point conversion that got them the 27-24. That was anticipation at an elite level coupled with perfect accuracy, at least for that one play. I’m interested in seeing how much more of that type of on-script play he has in him. That’s what he’ll need for sustained success in the NFL.

    He's Kyler Murray lite. No thanks. Murray has already shown a severe lack of understanding the basics as far as manipulation of DBs, very questionable short to intermediate accuracy and what troubles me the most, his overall inability to see the entire field from the pocket. Way too often he bails on even clean pockets and that can be either troublesome to dangerous for the NFL.


    He isn't the First Round option so many think of him and possesses way too many flaws that can and will be exploited at the next level. Chambliss is a Top 100 Pick at best to a Sixth Rounder at worst.

    He's a little bigger than Murray though.

    I don't think the only issue for middle of the field throws with a shorter QB is depth and throwing lanes. You're not throwing MoF short with those guys. Not that this team ever would consider it.

    With the $$$ paid to good QB's, I expect him to stay in college. As a NFL prospect, he is both short and under 200 LBS I think. Stay in school and get paid.

    He profiles very similarly to Russell Wilson (who in his prime was an excellent QB). The thing that he will have to develop is the recognition pre snap and getting through progressions (which, to be fair, all college QB's need to develop to succeed at the NFL level). If he does that, I don't see why he can't be an NFL starter... even a good one. In today's league you can't be a really good QB if you can't make something out of nothing and he's great at that. The rest is up to his development. I wouldn't take him in the top 10 or 15 or anything like that, but if you REALLY liked the kid, I could see a late round 1 flier on him. I'd certainly be willing to throw a round 2 pick at him. You'd have to have a really good offensive mind at HC for it to work best IMO (someone like Kingsbury or Kubiak), but I really think he could be good in the right situation.

    He is a keeper, add weight and like you said an OC that can train him properly for the position. He would look great in black and gold
    but only with a HC/OC that can put him in position to succeed. He has it. I will be
    anxious to hear if the NCAA grants him another year.

    Agree his throwing motion is silky smooth
    and accuracy is top notch. His mobility is lights out. Could be a smaller
    version of Jayden Daniels. Again I hope he is drafted by a quality team
    that knows how to Develope the QB position.
