Master Exploder Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Austin Davis is very intriguing. Not a lot of people are talking about him, but I like him a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fibonacci Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Davis may go 6-7 I would not take him after watching all this. JPW is better then this guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Exploder Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 He has some issues, but they can be coached. He's got pretty good tools. I don't by any means expect a world beater from a 6th-UDFA QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-TowN.- Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Wow I had Austin in my mock instead of Kellen Moore and could not decide between the two. Both are intriguing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 If they're going to draft a QB then Davis would be my pick. He has talent and potential, but he definitely needs to be coached up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I like Moore WAY better, but Davis has some upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4LoveoftheGame Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I see more upside in the other QB they were reported looking at Dominique Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Austin Davis is very intriguing. Not a lot of people are talking about him, but I like him a lot.Me too. He would be a nice project QB. He broke many of Brett Favre's passing records at Southern Miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Positives:-- Had the best year of his career as a senior, threw for nearly 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns... Has a quick, compact, over the top delivery, won't need to alter his throwing motion in the NFL... Throws a very catchable ball, a nice spiral... Does a good job looking off receivers... Good footwork in the pocket, very active feet... Good scrambling ability, is able to run for first downs when he gets flushed out of the pocket... A good decision maker who doesn't force many throws and doesn't appear to be prone to turnovers... An experienced four year starter, good game manager... A hard worker, good intangibles, will put in the work to get better... Has a solid frame at nearly 220 pounds and one would expect him to be able to continue to add mass and arm strength once he gets to the pros. Negatives: -- Has a weak arm by NFL standards, struggles when having to push the ball downfield and lacks zip on his deep outs... Very low ceiling due to his limited physical gifts, likely a career backup... Marginal accuracy, can hit the short throws but anything past fifteen yards is tough for him to hit on the money... Struggled in his bowl game to end his career, completing only 18 of 41 passes for 165 yards... Only played five full games as a redshirt sophomore due to a season-ending foot injury at UAB... A bit short to play quarterback in the NFL... Works primarily out of the shotgun and will have to learn how to work under center and take proper drop steps.
