Injuries/Legal Issues:
Tore
ligaments in mid-foot area on right foot; missed 6 games in 2002
Best about him: Matt is a
tough player that throws the ball well on the move.
Biggest
negative:
He has
average arm strength and really struggles versus heavy pressure.
Athletic
potential: He is an older prospect that still needs to develop. He is a
long time prospect that doesn’t appear to be any more than a backup.
POSITIVES: Tough, smart quarterback
with solid athletic skills. Quickly sets in the pocket, sells the ball fakes
and throws with a nice delivery. Elusive, gets outside the pocket making
plays on the move or picks up yardage with his legs. Puts zip on
intermediate passes, throws tight spirals and has good arm strength. Sells
the ball fakes, stands strong in the pocket and patient.
NEGATIVES:
Marginal accuracy and rarely places the pass where receivers can run to it.
Stares down primary targets, makes questionable decisions when pressured and
late on timing throws.
