So when you burst my bubble do you mind actually explaining WHY he's not the QB of the future. Or is it just 'cause you say so'?

Thanks for the info.

Its so much easier now that you have told me he's not the guy.

lol, I think your crystal ball might be foggy. The kid is by far the most physically talented QB the niners have had in quite some time. He has a good arm, great awareness and is cool under pressure like a QB should be. I fail to see anything holding him back from being the #1 in the future, because the coaches have said his supposed learning disability isn't going to be a factor. If you think he wouldn't beat out Hill and Smith once he knows the offense and has had some time in the league you're in for a surprise.

Nate Davis is the most talented QB the 49ers have had on their roster in this decade.

I've yet to see major flaws in his game.

He has:

• A strong, accurate arm.
• Good mobility
• Leadership skills
• Clutchness (he appears to be good in the 'clutch' situations).

Are you still waiting for Alex Smith to come around?

Interestingly enough, the thing I found most interesting about Nate Davis wasn't even his arm strength/intangibles, but merely Nate's pocket presence after the snap. -This is when we go into raw body mechanics at the QB position as a whole.

This is something that ONLY next-level/natural QBs tend to do after the direct snap/drop-back, and that is the way the QB postures his body/feet within the pocket before the release.

When Nate drops back into a throwing position, he stands within a firm posture with his head up straight, overlooking the field within a 2 second stance before either releasing or rolling out of the pocket when no options are open (or the line is collapsing). -Within simple terms, it's what you call "poise."

They talk about this all the time on Sunday Night Football when they feature Romo/Brady/P.Manning, and how they handle themselves before the release. It's a raw instinctual mechanic/fundamental of the position (and I'm not even surprised because Tom Brady's former QB coach mentored Nate Davis and he probably taught Nate these fundamentals).

This kid has the tools to be a great QB, but I think we should ease him in the moment our offensive line matures in pass-protection (we don't wanna ruin this kid).

"Now I realize Ball State isn't the NFL but I haven't been around a quarterback with better pocket presence than Nate. And I recruited Tom Brady to Michigan when I was there.”
-- Brady Hoke, former Ball State head coach now at San Diego State, on Nate Davis

Once Alex Smith is booted from the team, Nate will compete for the starting job.

If your expecting any intelligent response ...... I suggest you don't hold your breath.

Well said! But I don't see why he cannot play sooner. QBs with the qualities you've mentioned all can play right away.

I agree.

I love the arm strength, I love the accuracy, but what is really impressive is his cool under fire and the way he stands tall back there, boucing on his feet, and then just ROCKETS a pass with that quick release.

He just doesn't seem to be intimidated by it all.

The bold is very interesting to know and credible to Nate's play.

I love all that plus his awareness to throw the ball away quickly if there is nothing there instead of taking a sack. I'd like to see someone figure out his average time of release. He seems pretty quick at getting the ball out of his hands.

Good job on the video. I really like this kid and I think he has chance to be something. It would be good for him this year if he can just sit out the entire year. Next year he should be given the chance to compete for the job.
