Lol you bring up rushing yards but ignore passing yards. Why are you even stating how many rushing yards they have as they is just a stat that is meaningless to you. Like I stated earlier Pickett uses his legs to extend plays to make his passes (go compare passing yards to Dalton’s since you are with rushing). You don’t want him we get it, but you really can’t justify why other than your heard he was like Andy Dalton somewhere. Andy Dalton couldn’t get off his first option and go through progressions. So his weakness was actually a strength of Pickett. Plus he couldn’t get the ball downfield which Pickett has shown he can. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/643144-andy-dalton-2011-nfl-draft-scouting-report.amp.html

He is broken and stuck on Dalton.

He runs a 4.6 is constantly keeps his eyes down field. Rolling out and extending plays to buy time to make your throw is a great trait for a QB, go watch Mahomes and Rodgers as they do this constantly. He can also pick up the first down with his legs if he needs to, but he is a pass first QB. 38 pass attempts per game in a NFL style offense against a decent conference is a positive thing. It shows that he can consistently make these plays and go through his reads. Give me 38 attempts with a high completion rate and yard vs a lower attempt. A larger sample size of passes is better. Pitt had one of the better QBs in the NCAA of course they are going to air it out and guess what? Is usually worked as they won the ACC for the first time in a while. He is perhaps the best QB in this draft at mid range throws and can fit the ball into tight windows. So he has size, speed, and a good enough arm. People hate him because he is boring. He won’t launch it 75 yards down the field and he won’t break 5 tackles on a run, but he is a solid prospect. The same thing happen with Mac. But hey you read somewhere his comparison is Dalton…

I know Warner and Manning did (later in his career). I think Brady has before as well. I'm not worried about the gloves as long as he can throw well in bad weather...

Watch him actually play. You might learn a little bit.

lol I actually prefer Willis and then probably Howell, but I think the Pickett hate us just overblown by a large margin. It was similar to Mac Jones last year (and I was one of his haters). Accuracy and the ability to read through progressions quickly is underrated plus he has good athletic ability and a decent arm.

I just said he is more athletic than Dalton as well. Joe Burris/Mac Jones were the two latest to light up the stat sheets. They seem to be doing ok in the NFL. He won Pitt their first ACC championship in a long time. PS Pitt runs a NFL Pro offense and he broke Marino’s record and Watson’s ACC record. It wasn’t a college air raid offense that Harrell was in. You would know that if you actually watched the games instead of repeating lazy comparisons you read online.

Andy Dalton couldn’t break 3000 passing yards at TCU. He is more athletic, better at passing and has the stats to prove it. I don’t know how good he will be, but Andy Dalton isn’t his ceiling. You could almost combine the best two Dalton college years and have worse numbers than Pickett’s last season.

And Burrow has what? Half an inch on him?

Lance won Natty in a inferior conference playing for a team that is heads and shoulders above it’s competition. NDSU has won 9 championships in the past decade. Liberty is an obscure football team in a superior league than Lance plays in. He also got Liberty ranked in the NCAA (you know the league Lance couldn’t get any offers to play in). It’s just funny to me that you like a raw, high potential prospect that couldn’t get an offer from any top schools so he played in an inferior league, but another raw talented player (who got offers) isn’t as good because he played for a smaller school in the superior league. Kurt Warner, Big Ben, Tony Romo, Jake Delhomme, Josh Allen are all examples of players that played for smaller schools and did great in the NFL.

He got the contract he wanted for a team he wanted. You are looking desperate hoping he has some additional conduct issue that in listed in said contract that would negate it. Unfortunately he is too talented of a player at a premium position and teams are going to look past these off field issues. He strong armed the Texans owner and it worked despite how much you didn't want it to. Russ also got traded after requesting a trade. How does that make you feel?

I like Willis, trade down for Howell, and I can live with Pickett. Mariota really wouldn't be that bad I know some people on here were against it, but he has the size, speed, and has had some success in the league already. I really don't have an issue with the Love idea. If Love can be had for cheap (4th round or so), I could see giving him a shot. The major red flag to me is how far GB went to keep Rodgers vs rolling with their young talented QB. Rodgers is getting up there in age and they could have still got a huge return for him. I mean they let Favre go to roll with Rodgers so they aren't afraid if they are confident in the next guy. However, Love has talent and if he is terrible you let him walk when his rookie deal is up (one or two years left without picking up the 5th) and take a shot at the next draft class with our new coach. It would allow up to BPA with our first rounder pick (probably a pass rusher or OT).

So you like Willis? Assuming McAdoo and Ryan can develop him of course…

He got traded to a team he approved and he got a huge guaranteed contract. You were wrong about it and can’t handle it. It doesn’t matter if he can “live up” to it because it is guaranteed.

I’m not sure where you are going with this? You claim Willis never played any talented teams. I show where he beat a team with way more talent that his team had then you pivot to Edwards. Who exactly did Lance beat at NDSU that made you high on him?? Who did Allen beat at Wyoming??

Oh I get Minshew is nothing special. I just think Leach is underrated as an offensive minded coach. He created that offense that several teams are incorporating now. He just sucked ass at defensive coaching.

You really think LIBERTY had any business putting up 38 points on a power 5 conference team?? Let’s be honest Va Tech paid Liberty to come and lose by 50 points like these power 5 teams do to small schools like Liberty, only Liberty had Willis. Why were you so high on Trey Lance last year? He didn’t play against any decent team and had more talent on his roster than any team in that conference. I liked Lance too, but he was a pick based on potential just like Willis is.

You know Kliff Kingsbury was a Texas Tech QB for Mike Leach and incorporates a very similar Air Raid offense right? I don’t know how you can really say one is more NFL ready than the next. I was doubtful of Mahomes because of that “college” offense he played in, but I feel like a lot of NFL teams have incorporated college offenses to help these players get up to speed quicker. If Minshew had Mahomes’ arm he could be extremely successful in the NFL despite playing in Leach’s offense.

Right?? This guy was all for Lance last year who was on a loaded NDSU team in comparison to the teams they were playing. Willis actually dominated a Va Tech team with a Liberty roster…

What? You mean you didn’t want us to draft Texas Tech QB Mahomes in the top 10 one year removed from Cam’s Super Bowl Run MVP season??? I thought everyone did…

Oh yeah, he would make sense on a BPA option if we had a complete roster. The man is very talented and as you stated you can’t have too many WRs (especially cheap rookie ones).

It’s his damn mustache and mullet. It’s so stylish! I don’t really care for him but he would be an instant upgrade at that position for us, not because he is great but because we are so bad at QB right now with PJ and Sam…

Unless we get a vet QB, we are drafting one. They are not building this team and risking their jobs on Darnold rather we like it or not.

Good call!

Lamar is the real deal. Who is his best weapon Hollywood Brown? His TE is good too, but I’ve seen him rally that team to some crazy comebacks. However IF they decide to trade him he is going to want a new contract like Watson’s which is not worth it.
