Shawn Robinson is rated as the best dual quarterback in the 2017 class per 247.

Think the whole
pro vs
DT QB thing has been overblown.
The staff is still going after pro-style QBs - they just are going after those who are mobile enough to scramble/move around in the pocket.
As it should be, they are looking for polished passers - whether it be a pro-style or DT.
All things being equal in terms of experience, would be seeing Jones > Barrett > Miller - even if Miller is by far the best athlete.
Yes - a true DT who has as polished of a passing as a pro-style QB would be better, esp. w/ a less than stellar O-line and/or wideouts.
But if the 'Cats are going to be anything beyond a middling team, they need to correct the situation at the O-line (and at WR).
