I call him a younger , less reckless Beck. When I say that I’m not just talking on the field . I see similarities to Beck off field . Same type of narratives.

Backstory off the field is a level above Beck. Staff would have to do their homework.

I like Urban Meyers views of QBs.

Ohio State's recruiting philosophy, and the quarterback flaw Urban Meyer is willing to live with

J.T. Barrett and Joe Burrow came to Ohio State with arm strength questions, but that's something Ohio State is OK with scouting quarterbacks.

Interesting he was talking about Burrow in 2016 when he was a nobody. Of all the QBs in the portal, who has the most competitive nature? Which one makes the most plays when the defense has him dead to rights? Cam Ward is a great example of a guy who fought for every yard and was a great improvisor. Putting aside arm talent, mobility, etc- I would be interested in finding out which QB in the portal has the most success on broken plays.

More elusive in the pocket than I originally thought. The off balance/off platform throws and the arm angles are nice. He moves the pocket to create throwing lanes. Beck doesn't do any of those things well.

He's truthfully... a lot like Cam Ward. Maybe even more accurate and just a little less elusive.

Telling you bro. This is the one. He is exactly the kind of kid you pair with our talent here. Yes, everyone would love to have Lamar Jackson. That kid doesn't exactly fall off trees. You have this kid really focus on his S&C (he's a little heavy for me, IMO. Dropping 10 pounds would do wonders for him) and you put him behind this line and say "Win Malachi Toney the Heisman Trophy". He can REALLY throw the football. He's more mobile than Beck (not saying much, obviously, and again he's not mobile but he's not Brad Kaaya either). I think this kid comes here next year and completes 70% of his passes in his sleep.

The 6 schools in 7 years is eyebrow raising. The emulation of Mahomes is kinda weird. But this kid is a very good quarterback. He's an NFL quarterback. You don't need to overcomplicate this. He's not even 21 years old yet. Carson Beck is 23. Ward was 22 last year. He's already plenty good, and is only going to get better with good coaching when he has a month to throw a football.

Raiola has ability and is polished. My biggest concern with him is this:

That and the Mahomes Obsession. Those are my two biggest concerns. If he’s grown-up and realizes it’s better to be yourself, then I’m good with him. But he hast to leave that Mahomes crap in the past because he isn’t him.
