I feel like we should all use text to talk to make things more interesting.

Mahomes is the top QB right now IMO. He also has 77% more attempts which is why we are using % and why total yards don’t hold as much weight.

Thanks! Wow for Jacoby. It looks like Fields is also higher on the bad throw % as well. He is still definitely a working progress.

Not saying you are wrong, but can you post the source for the drop %. It's not adding up in my head because Chicago is barely passing the ball right now. If they are middle of the league in total drops with fewer attempts that would make me believe the % would be higher. I have a feeling it might have some random QBs that haven't started or played many games this year on that list... Just trying to make sense of it mathematically.

I'd agree he is still not a finished product in the passing game. His passing numbers have been trending up lately (TD/INT and rating), but they are still "hiding" his passing struggles to a degree my limiting attempts and calling more runs. His real test will be next season providing they surround him with talent due to all that cap space they have.

That's the key. He isn't asked to throw the ball that much at all. I'm willing to bet he is towards bottom of the league in pass attempts and with that his team is still in the mid range for dropped passes. Percentage of passes dropped would probably be towards the top end which is frustrating, especially for a young QB trying to find some rhythm.

When you are talking about rookies/2nd years QBs you usually look at how they are trending. He had a bad rookie year and struggled the first quarter of the season, but it looks like something is starting to click with him and he is making a bit of a jump. It's all about context... I don't understand why you are so against this. Fields is playing at a higher level lately. Has his solidified himself at THE guy? No, but he is looking like he COULD be something special IF he keeps progressing.

If he is throwing TDs when pass plays are called and has a great rating over this 4-5 game stretch what else is he suppose to do? He isn't going to audible from a run play that his HC is calling. When his number is called he is delivering. His offense has 29 (against the top defense), 32, and 30 points over his past 3 losses. Call me crazy but that isn't a QB issue IMO...

Not a big Levis fan, but he is playing with turf toe and an injured shoulder. It's his not throwing shoulder, but that still affects throwing more than people think. Throw that in with terrible OL play and I can almost look past his second half performance of this season. He also injured a finger or two on his throwing hand for what it's worth...

He cam in pretty hot. Over 4000 passing yards and I believe he broke some rookie records.

Yeah you are missing a lot…

I'm sorry but that game was a mess. I don't know how much rainfall it was but there were penalties from coaches trying to dry the field with towels so they could attempt a FG. I remember Chicago players doing a "slip and slide" celebration. Neither QB could throw well, much less one in his first game as a starter. I wouldn't write off a first round QB over that....

Nice visual! Yeah since he is past the rehab part and his arm seems fine, I wonder if it can/will have any long term complications. Medical is not my specialty...

I don't blame Carr either, but I think he is a 31 year old mid level guy that will be in a new system again with a new staff. I don't think that's the way to go for our franchise. If we can land him cheap, he could make a good bridge QB as someone already mentioned and give our rookie time to develop, but I don't see that happening. Our roster is set for a rookie QB to develop (good young OL, solid running game, decent weapons in Moore and possibly TMJ, young pieces on defense in Chinn, Horn, Brown, and Burns). Since our cap is shitty next year, a rookie contract would be great at the QB position. Then once he has a year under his belt, our cap should be wide open to fill in missing pieces for a playoff run over the next few year. That's just the path that I kind of see in my head right now and I think Fitts has said several times he believes in trying to draft and develop a franchise QB.

Devante Adams is arguable the best WR in the league. Look at the Packers with and without him. Waller is hurt, but he had him before this year, he has had Cooper in his prime as well. Renfrow is a solid slot and Jacobs has been a great RB. That’s a solid supporting cast in my opinion. I believe this issue this year is the OL not the weapons right?

I mean he has been through several coaches now and has plenty of weapons. I get it’s not the BEST environment, but it’s far from the worst. I think he can be a solid QB, but I wouldn’t be willing to give up draft capital and take on a big salary for a “ solid” QB…

Too many failed projects from other teams. We need to draft our guy and develop him properly.

Yeah I wouldn’t write off Lance or Lawrence yet. Lance needs playing time and Lawrence us getting better, but Pederson inherited a mess…

2 ACLs (don’t know what you can do about that), one freak sternum injury, but the concerning one is the AC joint shoulder injury from last year. It was a separated shoulder on this throwing arm, but he didn’t need surgery and looks to have recovered well. You are right though 4 pretty serious injuries throughout your college career is no joke…

It definitely doesn’t hurt to scout these guys. I’m assuming it was lower level guys and not Fitt/Morgan. There are probably some at most games with decent QBs. There better have been some at Florida and Washington’s game…

Yep players have to put in the work to compete at that stage. It doesn’t matter how talented they are.

Wouldn’t be funny if we finally get a franchise LT and then get a left handed QB? I know it’s still important just kind of funny…

Trask is THIRD string behind Gabbert. The Bucs got interested in Watson when they thought Brady was retiring. They seem to not think very highly of Trask…

I wouldn’t complain at all. Especially since we have 2 second round picks this year.
