While Book can get away with his arm strength and relatively poor downfield passing ability in college, that isn't going to fly in the NFL.
I don't think he gets drafted and I don't think he ever sees a real down in the NFL.
That doesn't mean that I am down on him as ND's qb. But the fact is the next high quality team he "beats" will be the 1st one.
MMQB also said this about Book on Saturday:
".....The issue, however, is that he was almost utterly unwilling to throw the ball downfield. In two games he’s attempted just three non red zone throws beyond 20 yards, and one was on a simple comeback route. The lack of separation is an issue, but at some point Book needs to be the leader and give those players chances to make plays in some of those situations, and this was a game where that should have happened.
Book managed the game well, but he needs to make more plays if he’s going to get better grades. Missing a wide open Javon McKinley on an in cut and throwing late and off target to Joe Wilkins Jr. in the end zone to force a field goal are plays he can’t and shouldn’t miss. He missed the first throw but was late with his read on the second."
