Scouting Report
At his best was a big-play, game-breaking star quarterback. Could make plays with his feet and his passing. Boasted an excellent arm and athleticism. A good game manager who rarely threw interceptions. Saw the field well and made good reads. Was streaky and somewhat Injury-prone. Wasn't particularly accurate and was never a high-volume passer. Struggled to adjust his game as he lost mobility later in his career. Allowed himself to get sacked too often.
Long Range Potential: Pro Bowl quarterback.
