It's hard to tell. He had a few things that didn't help last year.
The OL wasn't picking up the system. The original offensive scheme changed during the season. New school. New coaches. Two new schemes. The WR room wasn't very good.
Then again he has quite a few passes last year where I threw my hat. Over throws on wide open receivers & ill advised throws for interceptions.
With this being his fourth year starting at QB & second at Tech I look for him to take a step forward. He looked calm & in control in the Spring game (FWIW) & made me feel encouraged about him going into the season.
Then again they brought Drones in because of what he brought to the table as far as athletic ability & running. Maybe because they expect the OL to struggle?
He doesn't have the potential to be a Top 8 QB for sure. But it's hard to tell until we see him play.
