It's not special but I don't think it's prohibitive either. Trask's arm is definitely good enough. It's just not anything more than that.

People bag on it unnecessarily. It's not Josh Allen or mahomes or Stafford, but you also don't need to be that. His physical tools are just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not someone I care to take with the mindset of getting a "franchise" guy at this point. He's intriguing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of QBs in the goat conversation who don't exactly have cannons or ever had cannons. If he understands working with what he has, it's fine. What he has is good enough. His ceiling is certainly franchise quarterback.... Now, I'm not sure his likelihood of hitting that is very good. I think he's going to be a check down guy tbh. I kind of get Jimmy / Derek carr type vibes, but that's just gut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he's on, he looks really special. Has the field vision, mental processing ability, anticipation, smarts, touch, and ability to manipulate coverage of a NFL veteran. Consistently moves coverage with his eyes. But I think he'll struggle if he lands with a NFL team that can't protect him. If you have an OL, he can really distribute the ball.

They aren't traditional pocket passers with "good enough" arms that don't have much mobility/don't at least make teams take into account their running ability. Do you classify a middle of the road QB like Garrapolo as a franchise guy? 6 minutes ago, jrry32 said: I can't escape the feeling that he's Nick Foles. But when he's on, he looks really special.

But unless you have a great setup around him I don't see him taking you places even if he hits his ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the first time I heard the game is changing. The changes in the game have allowed mobile QBs to be more successful than in the past, but they haven't changed the amount of success you can achieve with a great pocket passer.

What pocket passers that have come out in the last several years have been successful? Recently? I see guys like Rosen and Haskins who had those type of questions.

Mayfield is still up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying pocket passers can't work, but I think you need to have enough mobility to cause a defense to respect it. I also think it puts more pressure on the arm if you don't...and as we've established, it's good enough but nothing to write home about. If you lack mobility, just have a "good enough" arm, every other part of your game better be damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need to be able to move around and run when you need to. Wouldn't classify Burrow in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lack mobility, just have a "good enough" arm, every other part of your game better be damn good. I don't think you do. Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, etc. do just fine in today's NFL without defense's respecting their legs. If you aren't very mobile, you need to be able to compensate. I agree. Trask may have the skills elsewhere to do so. We'll certainly find out. I wouldn't take him top 10. But if I'm a team like Pittsburgh, Indy, or New Orleans in the late first, I'd consider it (assuming Trask continues to play at a high level). 7 minutes ago, Counselor said: Burrow can scoot though What young QB can't move a little?
