Wasn't there a thread with this exact same argument earlier this season or last off-season? Is there really any new evidence either for or against Stick playing in the NFL as there was last year at this time? Someone a little less lazy than me could find that thread, copy, paste and save some time.
Agreed.
Stick played great in the playoffs. Even the coach of JMU said during the post-game that he was surprised. He thought they could rattle Easton and by this win the game, like they did with SDSU's Christian in the playoffs, but Easton did not get rattled and did not make mistakes. Great job by Easton. But there were games during the regular season where Easton missed many opportunities, like throwing to his main receiver (who was double-covered), while the secondary receiver was wide open. Fortunately he got it together for the playoffs. Did he just get better, learn from mistakes? Or was his playoff run a lucky streak?
I’m sure there was but it was a CK comment in the presser that started this back up. Why would he mention NFL scouts and hype him this much if he was a fringe roster player? Either you think coach is just blowing smoke or it’s because those scouts told him he has legit NFL potential.

Yeah, thanks for reminding me. I may as well say the same thing I said in the last thread: Stick has a good chance of having a 10 year NFL career as a backup, and once your in the league, who knows? He runs a pro style offense, getting better each year at reading his check downs, has good velocity on his throws and has been very accurate at times and appears to be getting better. From what I see on many NFL rosters each year at QB, he definitely has the tools to play up a level. Start listing 2nd string NFL QB's and ask yourself if he has a chance to be better??? OH YEAH, save this thread for a year from today.
I'd place his chances at the next level between that of Wetnz and Jensen. That means between a first year starter, second year league MVP candidate and a UDFA who made preseason training camp but missed final roster cuts.
I expect him to be closer to Jensen than Wentz, but it doesn't take much to do a little better than Jensen and make it past the final roster cut.
I hope to see him on an NFL sideline in a couple of years and I don't think that is too wide eyed a proposition considering the comparisons mentioned above. He has the physical tools which I think is an absolute must to make it to the NFL, and I think that's where Jensen fell short. Stick can make the throws and that's what opens that first door.
