at another school. A school with lesser talent and playing against lesser competition. He was a running back that could somewhat through the ball, not a QB that could run the ball.
Kizer was one of the bigger bust in the NFL, not to mention his meltdown at ND. At ND you can blame Kelly, but the NFL? Who are you going to blame? Just because you're 6-5, 250 lbs, and can through it 65 yards doesn't mean anything. He held the ball way too long and just couldn't cut it as a QB. He was a turnover machine akin to a homerun hitter that either hit an HR or struck-out. He just struck-out more than hitting homer.
The packers even said if it came down to it there was absolutely no chance he'd come in if Rogers went down. Then they cut him. Big kid, big arm, not a QB.
Book is bad at the deep ball and really we don't have a clue how that relates to arm because he's generally not even close when throwing deep. As accurate as he was last year on the underneath he was the opposite on anything over 20 yards. This year you can tell Kelly has been in his ear about "who" he should be throwing to every play. So it seems he's looking for the guy Kelly wants him to hit instead of just dropping back and slinging it like last year. Kelly has a real way at mindf'*&king QBs. It's crazy how good he is a ruining kids mentally.
