Brett Hundley

I think he's got the kind of talent that grabs your eye immediately, but a close inspection of his games tells me he's still got a ways to go. Remember, this stage of Logan Thomas' career he was destined to be a #1 overall pick too.

Recently I saw someone on twitter exclaim that expecting Brett Hundley and Marcus Mariota to look like finished products 3 games into their redshirt sophomore years is ridiculous. My reply is, well yeah but so is acting like they're future high 1st round picks when they're still only 3 games into their redshirt sophomore years and admittedly still quite incomplete as prospects.

I don't rate either of them the way I do some other guys like Tajh Boyd and (reluctantly...pending further review) Zach Mettenberger.

And certainly not like I do Teddy Bridgewater, who is currently in a class unto his own IMO.

 

I say reluctantly on Zach Mettenberger because I haven't liked him in the past. But he had an absolutely phenomenal game against UAB. He pretty much set the standard for what you mean when you talk about pro throwing ability, ball placement, fitting the ball into tight windows, etc.

Hard for me to shake poor showings from him in the past though. I'm going to need to see about 6 more games like the one he had against UAB and I haven't yet seen his TCU or Kent State games.

 

I'm not really high on Mariota. I agree with you, I like Hundley better. But even Hundley has a lot more to do before he can be rated real high.

 

Anyone else on the Blake Bortles train?

 

The only fair knock on him is deep ball.

 

He strikes me as the kind of guy that stays in school. And that will be great for UCF.
