Brian Hoyer, Nick Foles, Haskins, Teddy B...some truly horrible QBs playing this weekend
Trey is better than the bottom 1/3 qbs in NFL already

NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
You forgot the most important aspect of a QB. Accurate passer. He was awful in that department. Windows are very tight in the NFL and he struggled most of the day hitting guys who were wide open. I expected him to be much improved in that department because he’s had a ton of time to prepare. What did he pass for in The championship game against a good defense? 72 yards passing. Love Mr Lance. Wish him the best. But he needs to develop into a more consistent passer and will struggle bigtime at the NFL level right now. He can run but he is not dynamic like a Lamar Jackson

I don't think NFL scouts value accuracy as much as other things like arm strength and mobility. Maybe it's because they think their coaches can teach accuracy but they can't teach arm strength or athleticism. QBs like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson had accuracy concerns out of college and they're now thriving in the NFL. Another thing to keep in mind is Trey is only 20 years old and he won't even turn 21 until after the draft. Wentz was 23 when he was drafted. The fact that he's still developing but already this skilled means the big "p" word will drive his stock higher than a comparably skilled QB like Wentz or Stick who weren't drafted until after their 5th year of college football.
It isn't the most important aspect. I didn't forget accuracy, I completely ignored it just like the scouts right now. It is correctable. I mentioned that.
You can't teach athleticism. You can't teach having a cannon for a arm. Even his interception was a Elway/Favre like dart thrown completely effortlessly. Sure it should have been a touch throw over the top but even his mistakes are impressive.
He overthrows receivers falling backwards by 20 yards while they are 45 yards downfield. NFL GMs aren't worried about drafting him too high, they are worried about missing out.
I would love to see him play more college football. Certainly there is still a lot to learn at the QB position. I also have no problem comprehending the hype is going to get blown up even more and someone will pull the trigger with a top 15 pick. I also think I'm giving myself a lot of wiggle room.
Potential is the most important aspect of any position.

Pretty remarkable how far he is now as a passer. Wasn't highly trained as a QB coming out of High School which likely explains the FBS schools recruiting him only at other positions. After only one redshirt year in College he looked so effortless moving around in the pocket and throwing bombs downfield. He's either an extremely quick learner or a natural talent at QB, or both I guess.
And away he goes!
