Scouting Report

Assets
  • Experienced pocket passer with adequate arm and accuracy. Mechanically sound. Knows the system and usually makes sound decisions. Capable of being a solid starter when called upon.
Flaws
  • Wasn't a top athlete in his prime and is getting older. Injury prone. Can be robotic in the pocket and doesn't elevate his team.
Career Potential
  • A solid starter who can mostly execute a mistake-free game when asked to run the show. Considering his age and injury history, he may be better suited to backup duty.
