I am not talking out of my rear end when I think he is not that great.

None taken at all and i hope you don't fell disrespected either.
I was responding to some specific statements you made that i disagree with.
Although i would rather you responded to my statements rather then quote a summary of a Senior Bowl which doesn't address the specific points i disagreed with.
If you think Locker is great i have no problem with that at all, we're all gonna have different opinions.
But, you made specific statements that i thought were untrue and addressed those specific statements:

Locker does have a quick release and Locker does get the ball out quickly that's is the entire design of Washington's offense get the ball out quick and move the pocket to offset their lack of pass protection.

Locker's offense at Washington was mostly pro-set although you probably mean pro-style.
Now you're saying that Locker panics and doesn't go throw his progressions?
Those are kinda ambiguos claims to refute but every QB goes through progressions even Cam Newton and being that Locker plays in a pro-style offense he makes more progressions then other college QBs especially spread QBs.
As far as panic goes one of Locker's strongest traits is the ability to make plays on the run which kinda flies in the face of claim that he panics.
Again, if Locker played behind Luck's OL their would be no questions about his abilities in the pocket b/c his pocket would always be clean.

Something is always lost in translation on internet forums and i hope you take this as a discussion not an argument.
Hail!
BTW-Re: "Youtube Highights"
Locker and many of the top prospects have entire game short-cuts available on youtube which are quite different from highlights b/c its the all the offensive plays.
Also, i've watched about 7 Washington games this year not just highlights.
