Breaking Down New TCU Quarterback Jaden Craig​

Much of the anticipation and excitement surrounding the opening of the NCAA Transfer Portal for college football players on January 2nd centered on the robust, inflated, pick-your-superlative quarterback market.

Such a market is generally described by agents and personnel members as “hidden” due to the undisclosed specifics of the deals, unlike its NFL counterpart, where contract details are available and often made public.

A few things that stick out to me watching his tape:

1) Deep ball accuracy
2) Throws his receivers open with good ball placement
3) Vision/surveilling the field
4) Good pocket presence

I know these are just highlights, but the tools are there for Sammis to work with and make this a really good fit for his system. I think my one hang up is that you don’t really see him throw to the middle of the field often. To me that’s where Hoover shined. If Craig can get comfortable with that, especially with guys like Small and Everhart to throw to, I’ll feel pretty good.

I think he is a great pick up to go in this offense.

I'm sure they'll work with him to get the ball off on those where he should attack. To be fair in all that, a lot of college qb's won't throw at some of those. it's a tradeoff. they talk about where the safety's hips were ... sure, if the qb has a good view of it.
