Sports Science - John Skelton

[Arizona's Finest]

I think that is pretty spot on the throws he made were all done with sound technique and had very good spirals on them. Like everyone has already said he looks very impressive now, but when you look at his footage i think it would be fair that say that he needs to improve his footwork and maintain his throwing mechanics consistently which in his footage appear to fail him at different times in the video. All this said i think he is an already incredibly talent QB who is good enough to be our #3 quarterback right now but with the coaching he will receive and the natural adjustments he makes being around better players i think he could be a great NFL QB.

Monty I like your takes but one small quibble. Can you break up your posts into paragraphs or blocks? Its hard to follow with how its structured above.

If I didn't like reading what you write, I wouldn't have even brought it up so take it as a compliment

Drafting a kid like this can only be done by a few teams.

No coach in his right mind cares about a kid like this unless he has at least two years of job security in the bank.

Whis does and I love the pick, simply because it speaks to their talent evaluation, that kid will most likely start in the NFL, just not right away.

Anyone with that size, that arm and a brain can make the cut but they need time and that's a precious commodity in today's NFL, having a coach that is able to even look past this year helps with getting a player like this that others wouldn't mess with.

It'll take one year just to teach him how to play in a pro style offense, and another year just to work the pro techniques into his game so that he dosen't have to think about it.

After that I'd bet big money he starts in the NFL someday, hope it's for us and that he's as good as he looks.

I just have a weird feeling about this kid, mostly because of how under the radar it was, and how goofy it worked out.

It could be one of the most momentus moments in our franchises history and it was hardly an after thought to most people and the sports world.

Whis played some QB in college, Whis worked for everything he's ever gotten, hard.

Whis knows QB's and what he likes, love the story about him driving his tape around and getting a full scholarship out of it, awesome story.

There's just something about this kid's story that I figure isn't done yet at all.

Oh an I love LOVE the fact Chris Miller is our QB coach, that guy knows his stuff in a serious way, had a hard time staying healthy but he could light it up.

He'll get the kid ready.

I bet back when Brady was drafted in the 6th round it was an after thought for Pats fans. Look how that turned out. I have been waiting for a young homegrown QB to cheer for. Hopefully its Matt, but Skeleton gives us another reason to hope.

Looking forward to TC and preseason to get a look at the kid.

Both Spot on. Skelton has the makings of a good Pro QB. He as only a Small College QB coach and I bet that he will make improvments in he footwork and technique. Chis Miller will do wonders with this kid. Cant wait until 2 yrs from now to see what we got.
