Oh i'm sorry, i guess nobody else in the world can look at tape and form an opinion. My bad. Please forgive my incompetence.
Don't you know it's a rule to NEVER question the coaching staff because they are ALWAYS right???? Fans are no longer allowed to have opinions
Considering the talent we got this last recruiting cycle and the talent we have and in the running for this year the fans should sit down and be quiet because 99% of the time they don't know what the **** they are talking about haha so obnoxious. Fans know all! Can't understand why they aren't coaches! Mind blowing! This kid is being recruited by OSU, Bama, etc and you want to question the evaluation of our staff lol geez

First, nobody is denying this staff has brought in a lot of talent. And nobody is trashing the staff either.....or the kid. He has some good tape and shows a nasty streak, but also has some questionable tape/clips. Oline and QB are the 2 most difficult positions to project bc so much coaching and technical work is required.....along with instincts and improvisation.
In this case, all some have said is they don't get the hype some are giving him....the same is said about 5* kids of Top15 NFL picks. It doesn't mean they think he's a horrible prospect, just that they have questions or like others more. That's ok! Coaches do miss.....even the best miss, not only HS evaluations but NFL 1st rounders. And yes...Richt has missed as well. Guys will fail. Not every kid is a home run. Some 3 star kids like McIntosh and Norton will develop and shine while others will never play a meaningful snap. It is OK to have an opinion as long as you back it up with more than just "that's dumb". Watch a little tape. How do you feel about Campbell's drop step? What about his punch and hand placement? See if he sinks his hips or keeps them elevated, allowing guys into his frame and losing leverage. Balls of feet vs flatfooted. Wide base vs narrow. Most is coachable....as long as you can break habits. Some may be limited athletically. As i said, the kid looks athletic in his HS spring drills....but in other camp clips he looked overwhelmed. I'm looking forward to see him in games this year as a senior with more strength and experience.
The thing with your analysis is, IMO, your pinpointing the wrong things. Yes, he does look athletic in the HS spring drills. But, he also looks equally athletic on his HS tape (and even in the camp setting). The biggest concern with him is his power and holding up at the point of attack against the stronger prospects. Even in the camp drills where he's getting beat, he's not being run around. He's doing a good job of mirroring the rusher with his feet (good athleticism and good feet are a constant with him), he's just getting overpowered at the point of contact and being pushed off balance.
So, I agree that he needs to do a better job sitting down in his drop, but strongly disagree that he needs major work on his feet. Obviously he needs work on technique (what HS OL with a promise of upside doesn't?). But his naturally swift feet combined with his big frame may be his biggest strengths and are the main reason the cream of the crop schools are after him IMO
