  • This kid can straight up throw it! I am anxiously awaiting his arrival!

  • I am not always worried about the height thing as there have been some pretty good qb's who are in the 6' range. Drew Brees?

  • Although the prototypical QB has grown in size since Donovan McNabb first came on the scene, many programs still use the more original models- 6-1 or 6-2, 190 to 215 or so.

    Could Johnny Unitas still win in the NFL? Heck yeah. The QB no matter his size, has to find his receivers, and that is always through lanes, NOT as some may think, by seeing over the line, which you just can't do. Those guys may operate low, but there is enough jumping and twisting going on up there that any QB thinking he could see over the line would be an idiot. Sometimes a QB gets a clear look, but more often than not, the QB links up on one brief glimpse, and the rest is timing and anticipation of where the receiver will be.

    At any rate, this kid's size is not the issue that some would make it. The only issue is can he deliver the ball, make great judgements, see the field, hit his receivers, not throw it to the other colors, avoid the sack, call the right play, audible with intelligence, stay ahead of the defense, ond oh by the way, win.

    Rbob1,

    I would have to say from looking at his stats the answer to all your questions is YES, not can he do that at the next level? I hope so!!!

  • Remember, in this offense many of the throws are either while rolling out or quick outs out of the gun. Not many throws are slow developing over the middle throws that require big passing lanes.

  • Now can he RUN?

  • He can run....he is not a burner, but maybe more importantly, he knows when to go, and he sees the seams.
    I doubt if he will ever light up a 90-yard gallop, but he can get 40; and for a QB, that's very good threat.-level.

  • Having seen him on t.v. three times all I can say is this: About height, he may be shorter than Conner Brewer, that all everything from Davonte Neal's old school who is now at Texas, but he sure outplayed him in their head to head meeting. He threw long, right down the middle, and short; he just dissected the Chap D and I bet Charley Ragle would agree. He's also certainly taller than Shoelaces Robinson at Michigan who had a whale of a soph season under these coaches--but not so much under Hoke.

    As Gary said, the kid is a winner on the biggest stage and he plays his best in the biggest games. His yardage, his TDs and his Ints all point to one thing, he is a good decision maker with good recognition which will really play well in the spread option. I'm already thinking about Masoli. One of the side benefits is he's a Poly player so we'll continue the Haka tradition.

  • i watched him play against connor brewer last yr and saw a major difference in height...and solomon is much taller than brewer and is still growing.

    sincity1

  • That's strange. Texas shows Brewer as 6-2, as did Chap last year. You could be right because I never put much stock in those listed heights and weights any more.
