You could be right about not translating to the NFL - most QBs don't. Each year as his attempts went up, his sacks dramatically went down and his TD/INT ratio improved. He has clearly been getting better and was pretty consistent. He can make throws that Fitz can't. I referenced the bench pressing because he is a workout warrior and is a leader by example. He's not Drew Bledsoe, but arm strength is not an issue.
Working with the same coaching staff, running the same offense - if he could put up the same #s that he did at Syracuse in 2012, we would be very happy. Those are Fitz 2011 pre-injury #s.
