What I gathered is Mike just doesnt think he is Miami good so he assumed we wouldnt go after him
Right. I figured. But, why did he say he wasn't good? Accuracy? What is it? I'll put it this way: Edouard is 15 levels above Stephen Morris as a HS QB.
I love Allen Edward, but perhaps some guys are a little skeptical of his sub 50% completion percentage and his 9TD/9INT poor numbers. I'm all about potential, but he had a really nice WR and still put up bad numbers. It's going to be fun watching him this year to see if he develops and his production sky rockets kind of like what happened with Bob Marve in HS.
It's all about skillsets and what can be done with them. People can be skeptical of his numbers, but he's a loose HS kid. I'd be more skeptical of a guy who hits 65% of his passes, but has a wicked release.
He has everything I'd want to mold in a QB.
I agree that he's a great prospect. Sometimes, you can't teach accuracy with some guys, and like Ron Jaworski says all the time, accuracy is the most important thing a QB has.
Not sure if Allen's that sort of guy, but sometimes it's like seeing a wild pitcher who can run it up there at 100 mph and has a ton of movement, but his location is pure garbage. There are guys like that who never do polish their location despite all those natural gifts. Same goes for some basketball players who look like the 2nd coming physically but just can never learn to shoot the rock no matter how hard they work.
I like HS QBs who are great leaders with great physical gifts who also get it done between the white lines. So far, it seems like Allen meets the first 2 prongs but not the third. Like I said, it'll be a lot of fun to watch him this year to see if he dramatically improves his production because, no matter how much we get fixated on physical talent, the games are won and lost by producers.
