I don't think I see a lot of elite NFL traits, so the odds of him being an NFL elite QB are probably a little long, but he has enough skill to be a long term NFL starter. That is gonna take more development than he got at UNC and better development than a typical dumpster fire franchise is likely to provide. If anything, if he does indeed drop down the draft board(still TBD) that could be quite good for his overall career. He could get on a franchise that doesn't throw him to the wolves and hope it works out. Ideally he ends up behind a veteran starter to develop for a season or two.

The team around him was bad but he also didn't improve some of the issues he has had his entire career. A lot of those "Number 1 lock!" sort of articles and mocks were based on not having done much of a deep dive. After all, the other guy they listed in that group(Spencer Rattler) lost his job entirely during the season.

Once you step into the league, IDGAF where you went to school. I will root against you based on NFL poo. Like, are you a Pat? Are you a Taint? Are you a Buc? Are you a Falcunt? Howell might be success at the NFL level or he might not. His career didn't progress the way I thought it might, so he is a project in my mind. If he ends up in a good spot with competent development, he could be a good starter in the NFL. If he doesn't, probably just another backup QB with a short NFL career.

Basically me. Did not believe in him at all, saw some of the warts still being present but was cautiously optimistic. Then regular edition Sam played the rest of the year.

The biggest impact we can have on offense is to shore up that OL. Getting LT figured out means you just need to scrape together an average player and a good player on the interior and you made huge improvements in one offseason. Now, with Rhule back it will be "versatile" 6th round draft picks playing musical chairs behind entrenched starters Pat Elflein, Cam Erving and John Miller. Hell, they would probably draft a CB with Neal, Ekwonu and Cross on the board.

Throw Neal on that list, as well. The thing I like about Ekwonu the most is he plays with a level of nastiness that we have been missing for a while on the OL. He just goes out there with the intention to bully you all over the field. That is what you want in all your lineman, offensive or defensive. It's what we have lacked for a while.

No. We don't. He has been pretty consistently bad. Whatever Jets version you are talking about is long gone. He's even a shell of that.

I can't fall in love with Corral for some reason. Outside of his athleticism, he just seems so average. If we draft him or Pickett, I will begrudgingly get behind it but I will also understand we are probably going to watch us ruin a young QB. That really why I don't want any part of Willis, Howell, Ridder, etc. The rest of the QB's need so much development that we will be unable to give them under Rhule and Co. You are taking guys with high bust potential anyway and then supercharging all their worst qualities.

Not convinced BC is going to adjust to being an OG. Might take some time but will definitely take better coaching. I know this, intentionally trotting out Daley, Miller, Elflein or Erving as starters in game one next season is an IMMEDIATELY fireable offense, IMO.

That describes most of the QB's to me. Not a fan in round one. But the OL talent.......do want.

Ridder is so sugar or poo. He has a decent NFL toolkit but his inconsistency is maddening. Similar to Howell in that he has a laundry list of mechanical issues to iron out.

Bill O'Brien

I am not gonna lie, I think you are right on that.

Bill O'Brien 2.0, minus the on field success.

Herbert has elite arm strength. I don't think anyone except maybe Willis has that in this class.

I think Pickett is much better today but Howell has a higher ceiling. Pickett has less day one warts than Howell. Neither makes any sense for the Panthers. TBH.

Who would you say is the best in the ACC?

I have watched zero games for Bailey Zappe. Need to catch up. Only QB in this class I have not seen multiple games from.

Technically he put up crazy numbers against NFL talent this year(very unlike Willis). Don't like the mediocre arm though.

I will say Pickett is probably the best of a pretty weak QB lot. Still haven't looked at the WKU kid, though. Maybe I will sit down and do that tomorrow.

I love him......in the 2nd or 3rd round.

This is true. If Rhule is back and so is Sam, we will be looking at another top 5 pick, so the odds of getting a franchise QB is high.

Try that fake slide one time in the NFL....

Neal, Ekowu, Cross or Linderbaum. This basically the only answer unless one of those freak DE's falls.

Strange, all my ads are for anal beads and buttplugs.
