This situation kind of reminds me of what happened with Christian Hackenberg...
Remember when he was this highly touted QB that was supposed to be the 2nd coming of Andrew Luck?
He had that Freshman year where he put up huge numbers, but that was really fools gold & a byproduct of Bill O'Brien's offense hiding his deficiencies & playing alongside Allen Robinson & Jesse James.
Then after he lost his weapons & O'Brien went to the NFL, he had a terrible Sophmore year & everybody made excuses for him for his terrible decline in play... It was everybody's else fault but his own.
Then the same thing happened again his Junior year & people continually made excuses for him again.
"He doesn't have any help, he has a terrible OLine, Coach Franklin's Offense his stunting his growth" etc..
He goes to the Combine & in the interviews scouts said he essentially blamed his last 2 years of failure at Pedo St on Franklin, then he blamed his OL, basically he took zero responsibility for how awful he had played.
He went from being the next greatest QB ever, to being passed up by the Coach who recruited him & not taken until 4th round.
People forget, the Texans could've drafted Hack, but O'Brien chose Brock Oswelier over him, which speaks volumes to what he really thought about him.
The point I'm making is, he was a kid who was extremely overrated & and allowed his ego to keep him from maximizing his potential.
He left school early too, despite being not ready for the NFL because he didn't like Franklin, why exactly? Because Franklin held him accountable.
Hack was a higher rated QB coming out of HS than Kaaya & is far more mobile, but their weaknesses are very similar.
Slow read in the pocket, holds the ball waaaaay too long, doesn't diagnose Defenses at a high level/bad at reading coverages, bad footwork, poor mechanics, struggles against pressure, overthrows the open man & overall doesn't have leadership quality.
I hope Kaaya does well in the league, because it will only help us in recruiting, but he's definitely gonna struggle if he has to start early on.
