Commented "Great athlete, tremendous drive/will, mentally tough, solid fast-twitch. Also, QBs see the field extremely well, so his QB background will serve him well in anticipation."
Commented "Great mechanics, right demeanor, starter experience, seeming solid intangibles (leadership, poise, etc.) and a great QB coach in Langsdorf."
Commented "Riley's hitting all right notes so far, inherited a team that under-achieved, and already addressed its worst problem under Pelini: an overly complex defense that couldn't handle power running games. Also,Harbaugh is grossly overrated (Kaeprenick plateaued under Harbaugh, an ex-QB)."
