Wow! Good size, strong, accurate arm, blistering speed, what's not to like? Good job, Kyle!

EDIT: looking into it, their long time OC/OL coach took over the job, so major continuity.

Yea, they are churning out CFL QBs for whatever reason. Pretty much all their starters go on to having successful CFL careers. Very consistent.

He has all the tools for sure. Hopefully, he catches on quick to the CFL game because the guys is a heck of a passer and is extremely mobile.

Yes, I see the same thing. No laser rocket arm but shows quite well.

He seems to have a great feel for the pocket.
Quick enough to scramble for first downs.
Really nice touch on the short/medium routes.

Doesn't have the greatest arm strength, but I wouldn't say it's terrible.

Can't wait for preseason and training camp to see some of these guys in action!

He isn't Dieter Brock but his deep ball accuracy is off the charts.

Agreed! I'm more impressed with the timing that he gets rid of these balls!
In more than one of these highlights he hits a deep shot in stride while scrambling!

One of his NFL scouting reports lists his accuracy as excellent in short medium and long ranges. Arm strength is average apparently. That is by NFL standards of course.

He reminds me of Vernon Adams, good arm, good mobility and similar throwing motion, hopefully he develops quicker than Vern did, the Bombers can't wait 6 years.

Quote from: The Zipp on February 01, 2024, 01:45:17 PMI have not heard of a single QB or coach who says the reason the QB had problems was because of the waggle...enlighten me on that...I do agree that until we see a player - especially a QB play in a pre-season game or two it is impossible to predict or judge based on college experience.

To be fair to Aards, TSN does say this all the time. In fact, it's Milt (I think) who always lists the waggle first with regards to stumbling blocks for the new-from-the-usa QBs. Of course, maybe it's equal to the other problems (previously mentioned by others), but it's just so fun to say and easy to remember that everyone leads with it. Waggle. Waggle. Waggle.

Nice part of having Streveler as our #2 & short-yardage guy is our #3 guy can be purely developmental.
