I agree that height is a potential concern. But successful shorter QBs either have exceptional athleticism, a very high football IQ, or both. This kid may have both. I disagree that his athleticism isn’t in the same league as Murray. Watching his film, Murray was the first comp that came to mind. He even has the strong throw with a flick of the wrist that Murray has. I’m not saying he’s going to be Kyler Murray, but he does possess similar athleticism and arm ability.
I agree with you on locking up Watson, a kid that Whipple knows well for 2023 and putting the full court press on Raiola for 2024. That’s a winning strategy.
