He was the 10th QB off the board, so kudos. Thanks for the link.

On any given game week, Coleman estimates he spent 35 hours studying film. Sundays immediately after each game. Mondays on the team's "day off." He sought an edge, the same edge that made Manning special.

Watch any highlight of Coleman and there are eerie parallels. The manic pre-snap command of a play. The single-arm, quick-retreat play-action fake. The quick, choppy dropback.

"If you put B.J. in a Colts uniform or a Bronco uniform now and put him about 80 yards away from where all the media was standing, you'd think it was Peyton Manning," Satterfield said. "Now, he hasn't won a game yet. He's not anywhere close to where Peyton is. But just the way he moves his body with his play-action fakes and his throwing motion, everything looks just like Peyton Manning.

He can look like Manning all he wants, he has to complete more than 57% of his throws. ;)

It's awesome to hear that he loves to study and put in work though.

He can clean up his accuracy as he cleans up his mechanics... but it's too optimistic for me to consider that he has even a tiny chance of becoming Peyton Manning. Eli... perhaps.
