Vince Young threw for 65% his senior year and was a career 57% in the NFL. Everyone could see he couldn't throw.
I don’t disagree but using that as proof that he can’t make it in the NFL and that he has accuracy issues is just not accurate. It’s why I brought up Mahomes, who played in a similar offense and who is the best in the league now.

The nfl is moving more and more toward that style of offense. It stands to reason that more and more of these guys will succeed in the league going forward.

At the end of the day, none of us know. Not even Dam. Saying drafting Hooker is a wasted pick is silly, especially coming from someone who has been wrong as often as Dam.
