whodey365 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Matt Scott was playing against scrubs but he was also playing with scrubs. I like him he showed some zip and accuracy especially on the last td. It's early but I like him more than Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnickyCat Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Scott was playing against a bunch of insurance salesman, but I still liked him a lot.. Puking and still being bad ass sold me... I love the dude now..... x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him he showed some zip and accuracy especially on the last td. It's early but I like him more than Campbell. He was obviously better than everyone else out there with him. Will need to see more before I proclaim him the best QB on the roster. At least another quarter of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 He was playing scrubs but that doesn't make his tools any better or worse. Guy is a great athlete, has a great arm and showed lots of poise. He was obviously better than everyone else out there with him. Will need to see more before I proclaim him the best QB on the roster.

MichaelWeston Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Good: First team offense and defense, Dalton, Geathers Bad: Tackles that started tonight, Special teams, Westbrooks on that one play, Campbell Surprising: Matt Scott, James Wright (not really because we had been being told he was great), Trey Hopkins, Brandon Tate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Campbell should be okay. I know I'm advocating for him, but...maybe he's just rusty. I would always prefer a vet as a #2 (like Gradkowski, for instance) behind our starter rather than some unproven puking guy after one preseason game, but Scott did look pretty good today too. I guess the next couple preseason games will tell the story. I'm not totally sold on Campbell so much as I am wanting that veteran leadership at the position if Andy goes down. I'd be happy to be proven wrong by Scott or whomever simply by the play on the field during the next three preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id much rather have Campbell too but in the long run I think Matt Scott's an eventual starter in this league. As long as you can retain his rights I would love a group of Dalton-Campbell-Scott.

MichaelWeston Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 A starter in this league? Really? It was one preseason game against a 3rd string D. I mean he had a good game but come on man. I was pimping him in college. He has every tool you would want. Arm, legs, actually redshirted his senior year because he was going to backup Nick Foles, Came back and had a new system under Rich Rod Here is his bio, check out his comparison. Check out his strengths too. He did all of that tonight. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/matt-scott?id=2539647 Few college players follow up a co-Offensive MVP season by taking a healthy redshirt to allow someone else to start in their stead. But Scott made that move in order to allow Nick Foles to run the Wildcats’ offense in 2011. The move looks like it might have paid off, as Scott was a great fit for new Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez’s spread attack. Scott was a high school All-American from California before going to Tucson, accumulating more than 3,500 yards of offense and 30 touchdowns as a senior. Former UA coach Mike Stoops put Scott on the field as a true freshman, though it was mostly as a runner taking snaps (23-188 rushing; 7-11 passing, 84 yds, TD). Stoops gave Scott his chance to start in 2009, but after three games he lost the job to Foles (finishing the year by completing 56.9 percent of his passes, 441 yards, three TD, one INT passing; 41-309 rushing). The team gave co-Offensive MVP honors to all three Wildcats quarterbacks after the 2010 season, so Scott shared the award Foles and Bryson Beirne as a junior despite playing in seven games with two starts (71 percent, 776 yards, four TD, two INT passing; 35-135 rushing). In 2012, Matt Scott completed 301 of 499 passes (60.3 percent), threw 27 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He added 506 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Analysis Strengths Good height and arm strength for the position. Stands tall in the pocket, is decisive on his first read, willing to stick passes in tight windows over the middle. Able to stretch offenses vertically with his arm, also throw out routes across the field with velocity and accuracy. Will step up in pocket when needed, escapes quickly when feeling pressure. Accurate throwing on the run to the left and right, keeps shoulders square and the ball comes out of his hand well. Quick release on hot throws. Elusive as a ballcarrier on keepers, agile enough to sidestep oncoming defenders and has the straight-line speed to burst into the open for big gains. Weaknesses Possesses a somewhat lean build and propensity to take off out of the pocket brings durability into question. Sails throws on occasion, needs to throttle that down and show more touch on fades, throws over the top and close to the line of scrimmage. Shows too much confidence in his arm, throws into coverage. Footwork is inconsistent, fails to step into throws or open hips when throwing to his left, resulting in passes coming up short. Double-hitches, uses a tap on the ball as a timing mechanism. Bit of a leggy runner in the open field, might not elude pro linebackers as easily as he can in college. Regularly locks into first option. Operates almost exclusively out of the shotgun, though he’s been under center in previous years. NFL Comparison Josh Johnson Bottom Line A high school All-American from California, Scott’s career in Tucson hasn’t gone exactly how he had imagined. He threw 176 passes in three years, lost his starting job to eventual 2012 third-round pick of the Eagles, Nick Foles, as a sophomore and decided to take a healthy redshirt in 2011 so he could be in charge after Foles used up his eligibility. His strong arm and excellent mobility fit perfectly the offensive system installed by new Wildcats head coach Rich Rodriguez however, and Scott will surely interest teams as a "dual threat" QB option to develop.

SnickyCat Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Far from ready to call Matt Scott a "starter" in this league but the kid played his ass off tonight. IF he can play like that the next 3 preseason games then I would feel you have to make a roster spot for him because someone would surely swipe him off the practice squad. Thats a big IF though at this point only 1 game into the preseason but I'll admit he made a great showing. I'll be anxious to see if he can keep that level of play up.
