Have you ever thought that Pass has not been asked to read defenses yet? I am not saying he is better than Eason or Henry but just that he is not a big drop off from the 2.
Yea -- thats exactly what i thought and I believe that i stated that early in the thread. He has an intended receiver on every play where drops back and chucks it to that revceiver without really feeling out the defense. Thats a concern. Obviously theres no way to actually prove this but its noticeable difference when you compare the films of Eason and Henry. You can see decision making. Pass you dont see that.
If he can throw it 70 yards then I can only assume he can throw it 25, 40-50, and 30 yards. Didn't think that had to be spelled out. I just think writing off his ability to read defenses is silly as it's coachable but a strong arm isn't. Whether he picks up on it is another topic.
If BK wants him then by all means. I'm not the expert, he is so he likes what he sees.

You missed my point. Yes Pass can make those throws on arm strength alone but what about when theres 21 other players on the field? I only referenced the other routes because it shows that a player has the arm strength necessary to succeed rather than being a Jamarcus Russel type who can throw it million yards on his knee through the uprights. Tommy Rees couldnt make those throws on a consistent basis, his arm wasnt strong enough. Eason and Henry specifically have a stronger arm than Tommy. Their film shows the ability to throw multiple routes and showcases their arm strength in ways that isnt just how far can they can throw.
So essentially what i was saying is give me a guy with an above average arm who can make the necessary throws that a college QB has to make (the digs, outs, rollouts, etc) plus has the abiltiy to read a defense on a semi regular basis over a guy who has ridiculous arm strength but has not had the need/opportunity to read a defense on consistent basis (consistent basis is not the word im looking for but its along the lines of the system doesnt require him to pick a defense a part)
reading a defense is coach-able sure but you dont really know that until you sit down and do it. if a guys film shows him going through progressions then theres at least a presumption that he knows how to read a defense and can build upon that foundation.
i would be shocked if Pass is a take over Eason or Henry before either decide or they wrote us off. If BK accepts his commitment before them and shut down recruiting a QB then ill eat my crow
