Joe Ayoob brings dual-threat upside, but his Cal tenure was defined by inconsistency
Ayoob’s appeal was his **athleticism and playmaking upside**: he was viewed as one of Cal’s most athletic quarterbacks, and in 2006 he posted 1,912 passing yards with 16 touchdowns against 15 interceptions. His game offered flashes of big-play ability, but the production was uneven, including a difficult outing against USC and a senior season cut by limited efficiency. If you want a quarterback with mobility and arm talent, he had tools; if you need steady week-to-week execution, the fit was less certain.
