Been talking with friends lately about what I think is a very confusing approach to QB evaluation by NFL scouts.
Much emphasis is placed on taking snaps under center and playing in a pro-style offense. Then these prospect get to the NFL and are running read option up tempo shotgun formation offensive plays, which are staples in college offenses as well as multiple WRs and 1 back or empty backfield formations. So what's the big deal about QB prospects being under center? The majority of the center prospects have been making that long snap most of their college careers, so they too should be under the same scrutiny since they haven't had a QB's hands under their butt.
I think the most important thing to evaluate is the mechanics( arm angle, footwork and poise in the pocket) and throwing ability( arm strength, accuracy and touch).
