It takes a pretty special quarterback to get into the top 100.
At this point, I'm just hoping for a Senior bowl invite (a reasonable expectation, but I don't think a given). He will probably get a Shrine or NFLPA bowl invite if the Senior bowl doesn't offer. Hopefully he can run with one of those.
There's been quite a few FCS quarterbacks that a lot of fans really liked and thought had NFL chances that barely got a sniff. Hell, I remember Vernon Adams had a whole slew of twitter scouts that thought he was better than Wentz and I don't even think he made a training camp (iirc).
Two final points, first, I do think Easton is a great college quarterback regardless of how his NFL hopes turn out. Second, it only takes one GM to make a stab and draft you. I don't think anyone had Tebow as high as the Broncos or Manziel as high as the Browns and nobody including the Patriots had Tom Brady high at all.
I think I know what you mean with “not seeing it” with Stick, and I think a lot of Bison fans can relate to wondering how it can be possible to have 2 NFL caliber quaterbacks in a row. I don’t think anyone here is saying he is, or will be, as good as Wentz, but, as others have noted, he has the tools and he has it between the ears. I think there’s some “x-factor” or “it” type things going on that are harder to quantify, too. But the bottom line is, he makes next level plays with his arms and legs, game in, game out... The scouts are seeing it, and I think he will get his shot on an NFL team at some point in the near future.
