I do think he’s bigger and has a stronger arm. So he may have more of an upside than Book. Probably marginal though. But as a 3+ year starter Book was a very good college quarterback. If he played for Alabama this year I’d put money on him having Heisman numbers.

Unfortunately, between his scheme and the lack of overall recruiting inconsistencies in the skill position, Kelly needs a truly elite quarterback to win. Absent a Mariotta, Young, RG3 or Lawrence I would expect the same kind of results we’ve always seen under Kelly. Good enough to beat average to good teams. Ineffective against top ten talent.
