I tivo'd USC vs. UGA which I was really excited to see especially considering USC has one of the fastest defenses in the country. My thoughts on Stafford's play:
*Elite Arm Strength ... it's up there with Jamarcus Russell. Kid was born with a rocket launcher for a right arm.
*Lacks poise ... I just don't see it. Doesn't like to stand in the pocket and take a hit.
*Poor footwork ... this is an area that all young players need to improve (except Sam Bradford who is great here). I think Stafford should progress here.
*Poor accuracy ... this is a must area where he needs to improve if he wants to be a first round pick.
*Nice touch on the football ... comes out really smooth. Not wobbly at all.
*Work on read progressions ... a must in the WCO and especially in the SEC.
Assessment: Jamarcus Russell made huge leaps as a junior, Stafford could as well. But as of right now, it is all hype and not enough substance. He needs to step up.
