Every player has flaws. No one is perfect coming out of college. It's the type of flaws he has that I'm interested in. Can they be corrected? If a guy is not elusive or isn't quick enough to get through NFL running lanes, there isn't anything you can do with the guy. You don't learn that stuff. If a guy needs to get better at mentally accepting shorter gains instead of dancing around trying to hit a home run, that can be corrected. He has everything that can't be taught. Fix his flaws, and his upside is ridiculous. He's 230 lbs. 4.3. One man can't tackle him in the open field. That's why I'm tempted.
I like Fitzpatrick too. Funny enough, I really don't care for these QBs. I would be thrilled to get Barkley and Minkah. Not taking a QB just scares the shit out of me though, even if I don't like the options.
There are other solid backs that can come in and hit the hole like Crowell does and be productive for us. I get the value argument. I've just had enough of value. I want to aim higher than that. Unless we find the next Tom Brady, whatever QB we get is going to need high end weapons if this team is ever going to compete for championships.
