Gotcha covered here, Illy.

Looks like a Philadelphia Eagles fan site; here is the bottom line from the piece:

I think that at the least, Hackenberg needs a good staff, some time to readjust and patience. He is very talented, but he will submarine a team if they invest too much into him and expect early returns. With Doug Pederson and company, he would have an excellent staff of teachers to help him iron out his bevy of blips. Of course, I think he is better suited in an offense that will stretch the field vertically rather than using anticipation throws to the intermediate middle of the field. Hackenberg certainly isn't a cerebral who can anticipate coverages well enough to function in a west coast offense. He is more of a see and throw type of quarterback, which would be ideal for Bruce Arians. However, regardless of where he is going, the absolute ceiling at which I would take him is in the third round. To be honest, that is a little rich for me, but I am admittedly sick with a bit of "Honeymoon Syndrome" myself. Hopefully for him and the team that takes him, the good times will come back... Or maybe they just end up with four more years of shrieking fights and passive aggressive comments....

I typically really like BGN, but I really disagree with their assessment here. We've seen Hack under O'Brien's coverage read system and Hack under Donovan's see-and-throw, progression read system. I think the results speak for themselves that Hack is a far stronger quarterback when he's reading coverages versus reading defenders.

I think that Hack (freshman year) is much stronger with three NFL ready OL in front of him and Alan Robinson to toss the ball up to. Other than that, he's not that great and I don't want my NFL team to draft him.

 

[NittanyOpp]

I think Hack will be a Cowboy, Texan or Cardinal...my bet would be on Cardinals as eventual replacement for Carson. Fits that offense perfectly.

I would like to see him as a Steeler backing up big Ben! I think watching Ben for a couple of years could give him some time to develop.
