Writeguy Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Here's his writeup from Fantasy Football Toolbox. What round do you think he'll go in the draft? * This is a quarterback who is gifted with both physical and athletic skill, along with the intangibles you look for in a player behind center * He has the size, mobility, and shows the confidence in the pocket to lead his team down the field on a consistent basis * He is more of a pocket passer than anything else at this point in his career, with a quick release, and has the mobility and arm strength to throw on the run, and has the the ability to scramble once he is outside the pocket area * He is also willing to stand in the pocket to complete the pass, even when he feels the hit coming, which is a important trait to have as a quarterback, he also posses a good array of touches on various passes, and as a passer he is not afraid to make a mistake, which I find important, because to become a successful quarterback you have to be willing to take instinctive chances on the field, and he maintains eye contact with the receivers down field to allow him to make plays * He maintains a good rhythm and pace to the offense during the course of a game, and brings a air of confidence to offense and the players around him, which is important to have the other players around you believe in and have the confidence in your ability to always give them a chance to win * He is a quarterback to watch for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentucky Jet Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Charlie Whitehurst | #6 Quarterback - Clemson Height: 6'4" Weight: 220 Charlie Whitehurst has started too re-develop into the quarterback we knew in the past years at Clemson. He is regaining his composure, and for the most part, he is making pretty smart choices while passing the ball. Last year he looked uncomfortable in the pocket, made bad choices and simply was not playing well at all. This year he is playing much better. He has a very fluid release that I like. One very attractive variable of his game is his good frame. He is tall and very well built allowing him to be a physical player when needed. As mentioned, his release is very nice, but it seems like his arm moves pretty slow when he throws it. Also, he isn't a very mobile quarterback, so he tends to go down a lot because he isn't very good at making plays out of the pocket. I think teams will draft him because of his experience, leadership and willpower to overcome his bad season last year and put it behind him. He could be selected in the first day of the draft.

Sperm Edwards Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 His name just sounds like an NFL bust/never-was. Pass on him based on this alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
