I have a question for Texian, but essentially anyone else who wants to discuss can feel free to contribute.
Bill Connelly of Football Outsiders recently wrote an article called
"VN: Fun with QB Radars." The goal of the exercise is to illustrate two things: what kind of player are you and how good are you at being that kind of player. As a rough draft version of the exercise, he compiled a radar graph for seven quarterbacks. You can read the entire article to get a better idea of the method (which I highly recommend!), but in short
the more area occupied, the better a quarterback is.

I don't follow much college football, but I've been intrigued by Boykin for quite sometime now. Many of the scouts are saying that Boykin can't make it in the NFL, but the numbers seem to indicate otherwise. Compared to the other quarterbacks charted, Boykin seems to exceed them in nearly all categories. The only concern I see is the INT Avoidance isn't as high as I'd like, but I would assume that can be coached up.
So my question to Texian is how can someone be
that efficient and still be considered a late round project? What are you seeing in the games that still doesn't make scouts trust him as anything more than a late round project?
You post solid analysis so that's why I'm asking for your input specifically. Not looking for arguments, just information.
But again, anyone is free to contribute. It's an interesting exercise.
