Never said he was a spectacular passer. The rhetoric he can’t pass at all is a gee up though
I think it’s more than he can’t pass well at speed or under pressure. If he is just catching and passing while stationary he’s fine.
It’s actually surprising with younger players how often some kid who is considered a “great passer” is actually only good in specific situations. E.g. Lots of hookers can’t catch and pass on the run, and I’ve seen rep halves who can’t execute a simple 3 on 2 at training.
Connor never grew out of that.
