In terms of the mental/emotion make-up for the game, he's got that. We knew that from the way he survived his first year at Cal.
In terms of just the artistry of the thrower, he may yet turn out to be the best Rams qb since I started following the team in the 70s. IMO his pure throwing talent is just THAT good.
In terms of reading defenses seeing the field and always being a step ahead mentally when the bullets are flying, he's a work in progress. Not sure how far he will go when it comes to that. I don't have any particular reason to expect a low ceiling...though there will probably be some bumpy games before that matures. (He's very different from R.Wilson when it comes to that, who seemed like he was born with that stuff.)
In terms of his "come from behind in the 4th quarter in close games" skills (which are very important in my view of qbs), it's just impossible to say yet.
So I would say he IS a franchise qb
RIGHT NOW. Just a young one. How far he develops or how fast he develops into a mature one? That's unknown. But I ain't sweating it.
