ASU CHRIS, It doesn't look good on you or our college. why don't you develope an opinion with depth and weight, reason and character I suggest you use the cardinal virtues as a base philosphy.
I don't mind being wrong but I don't like being dog piled for the sport of it. please reach down and grab a handful and lay it out on the table. I don't want to spend my time reading others that parasite off the blood of others efforts, please get a grip and do something for yourself instead of posting at others expense.
Prudence - able to judge between actions with regard to appropriate actions at a given time
- Justice - proper moderation between self-interest and the rights and needs of others
- Restraint or Temperance - practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation
- Courage or Fortitude - forbearance, endurance, and ability to confront fear and uncertainty, or intimidation
I'm not intimidated, I won't be bullied and I won't be laid a hand on.
ESPN had John graded at a 50 out 100, I gave him a lil more because of Sports Science, the CBS evaluation below, and our staff thinking He was worth moving up in the draft for. We must of had him graded above anybody at any position left at the 24th pick of the 5th round.

Accuracy: Accurate enough to give his receiver a chance to make a play after the catch whether on a quick screen, out route, slant, fade or throw down the seam. Leads his man on slants and deep throws. Will aim the ball and feather it in instead of letting it loose.
Arm Strength: Throws 45-50-yard passes with little effort, but he rarely takes full advantage of his arm strength. Ball gets from hash to opposite sideline in a hurry when he steps into the throw. Good trajectory on deep passes, and the ball doesn't hang up. Inconsistent spiral, though the ball still has fair pace when it wobbles.
Setup/Release: Prototypical size and stands tall in the pocket. Waits patiently for routes to develop. Mostly in the shotgun when passing but will go under center on run plays and the occasional play-action. Release speed is not an issue whether in the pocket or on the run. Relies on his arm strength too much; will throw off back foot and into traffic. Throws from different arm angles and usually well-balanced. Could sell the ball fake more in play-action.
Reading Defenses: Knows the second and third progression, and is willing to throw underneath route if deep receiver is covered up. Will pick apart a defense if given time. Looks to the quick screen before checking out deep throw. Will not look off the safety or creeping corner consistently, resulting in interceptions. Trusts his receivers too much, throwing jump balls when unnecessary.
On the Move: Mobile for his size and able to throw accurately on the run in either direction. Squares his shoulders when throwing on the run. Will evade sacks from FCS defenders, but unclear whether he'll do so against better competition. Doesn't always get his eyes downfield when pressured in the pocket but does when outside. Mobility leads him to leave the pocket too quickly at times. Agile enough to get first downs when scrambling or running the read option, but not quick enough to run for more than a few yards and lacks elusiveness in the open field. Lowers his head for a first down if sideline isn't available and can slide if possible. Good size for the sneak. Intangibles: Two-year captain who leads his offense on and off the field. Quiet with the media but vocal on the field. Has the work ethic and intelligence to become an NFL starter.
) Skelton is the only QB who hasn't blown his shot on this team yet.
