I honestly think that Bo would be training camp fodder, he'd be bought in with the smallest chance to make a team.

Frankly he's a 6'2 pocket passer, which in the NFL is detrimental. He's accurate but he in my mind doesn't have an NFL arm. He's smart, but if you're his size you need escapability which is tough against the super high speed NFL ends.

Bo will have to make a decision, because I don't think he's going to get signed to a big dollar dea, he's going to have to be willing to be a training camp invite and then fight against other higher profile QB's or veteran QB's.

Don't believe that I'm for a moment saying that Bo isn't a great QB, but he's just not the physical prototype that the NFL wants. He doesn't bring a Doug Fluties evasiveness, nor a Dieter Brock Canon. My closest comparison to him would be Tommy Clements who was an unbelievably smart QB and should have gotten a bigger NFL shot then he did, but if you don't either check off the physical aspects checklist, or he's unique checklist he won't get much of a look.
