Thanks for the info. Considering so many fans have clamored for Aaron, surprised to see him 3rd. That could be just based on seniority though.
I've only been to three practices this spring and wasn't always watching the QBs, but here are some of my thoughts as well as those of other observers.
Woolsey is the most comfortable and composed out there coming from 5 years of experience. While he has improved some, he isn't the quickest processor which probably leads to his inconsistency. His mobility gives him a heads up if the offense is based more on the zone read option. If it's more of a run pass option based offense then Reilly or Zwahlen may have more upside.
While Reilly is still quite thin, he has made strides in getting stronger. You can see it in his arm strength which is better than last year. He has good touch on the long balls. I haven't had a chance to study him much, but I think his inconsistency comes from lack of experience.
Most others and I feel Zwahlen has the best arm and throws the tightest ball. But he may be the most inconsistent at this time. It's probably because of the lack of meaningful reps coming into this spring. He probably has the most upside, but Reilly surprised me at times this spring with some of the throws he made.
If no one improves dramatically over the summer, Woolsey probably will get the nod at the beginning of the season based on his most experience, compsure and leadership skills.
