Brad Kaaya (Miami Fl.)
Pro: Week after week it’s hard not to love the competitiveness of Brad Kaaya. He keeps taking a beating from defenses and keeps getting up for more. Nobody will ever question his toughness, and that is a major positive trait for quarterbacks. The size is there, as is the arm. When he’s in a clean pocket and allowed to survey, he can hit a receiver on the money at any level. The pro-style familiarity also has helped speed his readiness for the NFL.
Con: Though competitive, Kaaya does lack a certain alpha mentality. He’s not a fiery leader in the huddle and he doesn’t have that killer instinct based on the way he plays. Perhaps the conservative offense he plays in is part of that, but even so he hasn’t been overly productive of late. Worse still his mechanics really break down when under pressure. He struggles to protect the football and falls into frequent stretches where he just can’t get anything going.
