Any conversation about shor is not?
Is he good or not?
Like he’s clearly a good player, his poise, his accuracy, his toughness like that.
Those are all things I think you can point to and say, oh yeah, that’ll work, that’ll work in the NFL.
I’m not impressed by the physical traits.
He’s 61, maybe 2, 10 at best, his arm B level.
I think in terms of quarterbacking, quarterbacking style reminds me a lot of Jordan love without the, uh, high end physical traits, you know, the, the way they bounce around, they, they back pedal at times, they keep the weight on their back foot.
They use a lot, a lot of different platforms to throw the football.
Uh, Shor, grew up watching his dad, this elite athlete do these different things.
I think she thinks he has some of that in him when he not even close.
Um, so, you know, like four tears apart.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, so I think there’s, there’s a quarterbacking style that he has that a guy like Jordan love can get away with, but I just don’t know if she will be able to get away with that.
Um, at the next level.
And again, I mentioned this with Cam Ward, I want to see Shara against a defense that I respect and the two best defenses that the Colorados face this year, Kansas State and Nebraska both losses in both games where I thought, uh, Shao didn’t handle himself the best and a lot of that is working the pocket and understanding where the rush is coming from.
He’s not a bad athlete, He’s a good athlete, um, in order to kind of move around, but he takes too many sacks that the offensive line for Colorado is gonna get brought up endlessly throughout the draft process, but a number of these sacks are on the quarterback.
So I look, it’s, it’s only gonna get tougher against NFL speed.
Um, I, I don’t know, I, I, like I said, I think Shadur is a good quarterback but I have plenty of concerns about what he’s doing and how it’s going to work at the next level.
I’m just, I’m not, I’m not, I don’t have conviction that this is a guy that you’re gonna be able to plug in and all of a sudden he’s gonna start leading my team to wins.
