LC, how can you be impressed with Maxwell? He passed fo 100 yards per game in division 4 football.
...
So, now on to your question, what do I like about him. These are things that I see as positives:
1. He has the size. He's not 6'0.5" and 180lbs, which is what Ohio continually recruited under Gdowski. He's 6'3" and 214.
2. He hustles. In fact, he won a hustle award in Basketball
3. He not only doesn't appear afraid to run, when he runs, he looks like he relishes it.
4. He's fast.
5. He has a powerful arm - most of the passes in his highlights were soft passes, but a few he had to throw hard, and he did, and showed he has plenty of arm strength
Now the negative. As you point out, his passing stats were very unimpressive. I tend to disregard that because he played on bad team. On a bad team the blocking won't be good, and that will mean a number of off-balance throws, and those will hurt the stats. It will also mean that the receivers will not get open, and will drop passes when they do get open.
The result was that I decided to treat the stats as meaningless, and trust my eyes on what I saw, and I liked what I saw. Now, over the next year or three I will eventually be proved right, or wrong, so we'll have to see. In the meantime, if you haven't watched the hudl for Maxwell, why not watch it, and keep an open mind. After you watch it, why not report back on what you like and don't like?
