Re: Thompson
He needs some work and experience, but seems quite capable...

Re: Thompson
Long term? Think he can be a special QB for us. Great mechanics, quick release, makes quick decisions, absolute winner.
Short term, he's got some things to work on in terms of making stupid high school throws, which is why AB plays over him.

Re: Thompson
He's got all the tools to be special but he needs time.
We'll likely see him get some more run against Arizona and the state of the P12 is such that he has to prepare from here on out as if he's going to be the Starter.

Re: Thompson
I thought he looked great!! I still think its important for him to learn from Brown. However I must say every thing became really easy when he was out there. It reminds me a little of Mariota the way things go so smoothly for Thompson.

Re: Thompson
I didn't get to watch the game and am looking for a replay. Could folks elaborate a bit more on Thompson's performance? I was vocal that I liked Jaxson Dart better than Thompson as a recruit, and he just had an incredible debut for USC. Did Thompson look like the future?

Re: Thompson
He was solid but there wasn't anything play wise that made you go wow. He just executed the offense and got the ball out on passing downs. It helped that the OL played better in the 2nd half too.StevensTechU wrote:I didn't get to watch the game and am looking for a replay. Could folks elaborate a bit more on Thompson's performance?

Dart had a few better throws, but i don't know about comparing the performances due to opponent and situation.

Re: Thompson
Well, he hands the ball off well. And made a handful of throws. As someone said above, it’s too early to tell.StevensTechU wrote:I didn't get to watch the game and am looking for a replay.

Re: Thompson
Hard to draw any conclusions from yesterday. We didn’t have TT do much of anything really. He made a couple of nice plays, but handingoff 90% of the time he was in makes it hard to know. Thornton on the other hand, looks like the real deal. I don’t know who he is behind, but whoever it is might want to watch out. We haven’t had that size and speed fir a very long time.

Re: Thompson
We got a couple closeups of his face and he looked completely calm and confident.

Re: Thompson
He had one throw into coverage where I remember yelling..."no don't throw that". Other than that, I thought he did great for getting thrown in there as a Freshman. As another poster stated, he looked calm and overall made good reads.
Also, Butters had a pretty ball. Very tight and on a line to the receiver. I think we have more than one good freshman sitting behind Brown. I hope we can keep them both, but that is probably a pipe dream.

Re: Thompson
After rewatching the game, I still have the same concerns I had with him in his high school tapes. He still seems to lock in on a single receiver and doesn't make many reads. He throws a really nice ball but at this point I'm not sure if I would rather have his arm or AB's reads.
