First off, most great college QB's have a lot of time to throw and Sam was no different in having games that way too, but to say he never played under pressure is flat out wrong. In this draft video I see a few things actually, his arm was much better in college than I originally gave him credit for too, and the throw against Nebraska where he rolls left and flicks his wrist and throws a dart 35 yards down field is ridiculous.
The first game video is BYU where he breaks his collar bone on a play that reminded me of Rodgers this past year.
The next two games are against Washington, which blitzed it seems like every down, and Texas which was a wild/crazy game they scored something like 50 points and lost where Texas brought the heat a lot too. In both games Sam stands in well, keeps his eyes down field and his velocity and ball location are superb. Also, watch the way he hangs on every screen, knowing he's going to get creamed then throws the ball on time and extremely accurately to his receiver.
When I think of adding Watkins to what we already got I can visualize a lot of these same pass concepts in the coming years.
