Most of what I read about Stockton is glowing, overflowing with praise. This bit by Barton Simmons is like a bucket of cold water.
“Stocky prospect at the quarterback that doesn't appear to have significant growth potential. Good athlete with a baseball background that has active feet in the pocket. Can extend plays when needed and accounted for over 700 rushing yards as a freshman against limited competition. Is capable of making some advanced throws and shows touch and ball placement downfield. Shows creativity and competency delivering on screens and RPO throws on the move. Comfortable making tight-window seem throws with velocity. Still in the early stages of his development and shows the need to load up on big balls. Has a tendency to overstep with his front foot and can get loose mechanically. Very early stages of a potential NFL prospect but significant experience and development is still necessary.”
Don't know a lot about Simmons. Is he fairly accurate? It doesn't sound like an analysis of the #1 player at his position and #24 player overall in the country. Makes him sound like a developmental QB.
Kind of ticks me off.
