CJ will get drafted

He's a game changing qb. He played a very bad team. He may be the best qb in the class for NFL draft. He needs more experience playing against real defensive speed. The last 2 fasted defensive teams he played he didn't do so well. TN and Stanford.
 
No question ... likely 3rd round pick but could move up to 2nd round if he continues to play like he did last night. Accuracy + moxy = a good NFL QB

He wasn't good vs. Stanford, I'll grant you that, but I'd throw out the Tennessee game cause he had barely gotten his feet wet at that point.

Plus at the Rose Bowl, he wasn't 100% and didn't get a lot of help either.

All valid points. However, he does need more experience against speed. Brad Banks didn't really face it until USC and it took time to adjust during the game. Granted no college team will replicate NFL across the board, but Iowa's opponents are generally lacking in defensive speed. Stanford and TN were likely the fasted on D he has faced.
 
He made some very nice plays against Tennessee. For example the touchdown pass to Matt Vandeberg was a perfectly placed ball. His play certainly contributed to the decision by the coaching staff to name him the starter for 2015.

He made some nice throws just as Park did last night. CJ's rating that game was 62.5.
 
With the exception of maybe 5-7 teams I think the NFL does a poor job of developing quarterbacks. If you are not a 1st rd. pick, it becomes a crap shoot, you have to be in the right place at the right time.

CJB could get caught up in the same cycle as Stanzi did. No real development, no real opportunity, always in a numbers game bouncing around place to place.

Exactly. You can't tell me that Stanzi when he came out was any worse than the guy the Broncos just settled on. It's all about where you end up and the circumstances around all that (not to mention how they do with opportunity) It's a game of dominos. All the steps are important. None more so than the first.
