Colt McCoy QB Texas #12 |
|
Ht: 6'1
Wt: 212
|
|
| Strengths: |
| Impressive accuracy. Adequate size. A four-year starter; plenty of experience against elite competition. Has a nice, quick release. A team leaders with all the intangibles you look for in a quarterback. A good athlete. Can buy time with his feet. Perfectly suited for a west-coast offense. |
| Weaknesses: |
| Arm strength is lacking. Has a bit of a sidearm throwing motion. Makes too many poor decision; needs to be more careful with the football. Never put up eye-popping stats despite being surround by a ton of talent. Is he a product of the system? |
| Comments: |
| McCoy has all the intangibles of a franchise quarterback, but his skills are marginal. He has some potential, but is a bit of a developmental prospect. His mechanics could use some work, and with improved technique his arm strength may improve as well. The most concerning thing about McCoy, however, is his lack of improvement. While he put up solid numbers his junior year, he regressed his senior year. McCoy has never been very smart with the football - something that he should have developed by his fourth year as a starter at an elite program. He reminds of Jeff Garcia. Like Garcia, he isn't suited for just any offense but in a west coast style offense that relies on short pass he could end up being a quality starter. |
