You could read similar reports from any of the Senior Bowl QBs depending on which day you pick and which report you read.
Everything Locker does is going to be scrutinized more then the other prospects b/c he's the biggest name there.
Its the Senior Bowl they're all seniors.
And depending on which report you read he has looked the best.

If you look back to Tebow last year there we're conflicting reports about him just like there will be conflicting reports about any heavily scrutinized prospect b/c people have there preconceived label/view points.
The Senior Bowl isn't the end all be all its a part of the evaluation process.
Many scouts and draft people feel that a prospect can't hurt their stock at an event like this b/c its a new scheme, new receivers, new OL mates etc.
To each his own.
I think Locker isn't an easy prospect for a casual fan to evaluate b/c without having watched Washington games you don't fully 'get' Locker.
I would be happy with either Newton, Locker or Gabbert although i have my doubts about how Newton would work in Kyle's seemingly rigid offense scheme. |
Again, its whose opinion one values most. Mike Mayock is being kind when he said Locker is a top fifteen "athlete". He didn't say QB, but "in the top 15". Buyer beware: cautions, look at his attributes closely and judge accordingly.

The Skins need a QB to cultivate and Locker is not that QB. He has basic accuracies issues.
If you look at the interview Mayock had with Locker and other QBs, you will see Mike is not sold on Locker. He asked Locker to comment on what others are saying about his preparation and his accuracy.
Stay away from this guy and I don't believe he is worth a first or second round pick. A Pack Ten wonder, please!
