That team throws it a ton. He certainly incredible touch looking at his tape. Doesn't show much arm strength though. I'm assuming he's camped at MSU? Looks like he thrives on the WRs getting behind the secondary and lobbing it to them. Granted, he's really good at lobbing it to a wide open WR, but that's probably not a skill set suited to SEC football. I'm guessing there is a reason we aren't hearing about him with those sick stats. I think the kid has a 4.0. Maybe he'll get a scholarship to play Ivy league ball?

But I'm pretty sure he does have a 4.0. I know Wofford offered him...and I believe more schools are starting to show interest, we'll see who offers and see who doesn't sooner than later. <div>
</div><div>He's a great kid from a great family. Works extremely hard and where he lacks in some size and arm strength, he makes up for it in intelligence, drive and quick thinking. He can always put weight on, and he's not exactly the shortest.</div><div>
</div><div>I've seen teams have a lot of success with A LOT less. Maybe he does have some potential. I want to see him go somewhere and play. He's got the drive to do it. </div><div>

Danny Wuerfull (sp?) agrees...

he does a lot more than that. I take it you haven't seen him play in person. Tonight was my 4th time, 2nd this year. He is WAY better every timeI have seen him. You have to remember this was a RUNNING team at the start of last year. He only started getting the chance to do this stuff miway through last year. He has been toatlly under everyone's radar. He was throwing stuff tonight that was just unreal, and it was a LOT more than just lobs to wide open WRs. </p>

I've only watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7c-M3KUolc&feature=player_embedded

Or course, I'd love to see more stuff from him. I'd take an accurate QB over a QB with a golden arm any day. I'm just basing my opinion off the highlight tape - which I assume are a collection of his better throws; the majority of which are pitch and catch to wide open receivers. There are some really nice throws to the corner of the endzone though - so it clear the guy has great touch. You've seen him - does he have the arm to make the other throws and has he been able to show coaching staffs that he can (via games or camps)?

few who have seen him would say what you said about him.It's his accuracy and his ability to progress through his receivers with patiencethatare the reallyphenomenal things.He hit just about every kind of pass you could want last night. That was a spectacular performance.

<span class="post-title">He has some hellacious receivers. Number 11 is a man. Perhaps, FW can replace Mini-Fur-VUH </span>when he heads back to the coast
That he does. # 11 is really good.So is#24 . The others aretoo. That doesn't change the fact that Williams is a really good QB. Amory lost the games he didn't play in with those same receivers.
