Patrick Towles is the perceived starter heading into Fall camp. He carries himself with the confidence of a starter, but not the cockiness of a person that already has the job locked up.
Improved accuracy might be the biggest reason for Towles’ mature demeanor. The greatest deficiency in his game is less of a problem because of Coach Dawson’s relaxed temperament, “With Coach Dawson’s philosophy, it’s all about getting yourself comfortable and ready to deliver the football. I had the most accurate Spring I’ve ever had. I’m excited to play ball.”
Dawson’s system puts more power in his hands.
