His problem won't be throwing TDs or being aggressive. He's going to be good if he limits his interceptions. That is literally going to be it for him. He could be a chucker who is too aggressive and struggles to make the right decision. It's very possible. It's also possible he's the next Brett Farve or Ben Roethlisberger. We just don't know. But at least, he has a high ceiling. That is all you can ask.

I think everyone for the most part felt this way. I think the hype is coming from all the signs showing that he is now than a chucker. What we've seen, what coaches and players say, what other scouts and ex scouts say.
In the end, beyond the hype, I think most fans know there will be issues and what issues they will be. I am comfortable though with I've seen and heard to feel he isn't just a chucker. Not saying that means Brett Favre. Many landing spots in-between or close to either extreme.
