Would you take him at 40?

Some of the people Webb has met with on visits (Seattle, Arizona, Baltimore, Kansas City, the New York Jets) and private workouts (Carolina, the Los Angeles Chargers, Tampa Bay, San Francisco, the Jets again) say it reminds them more of how coaches operate. He’s obsessed with controlling the controllable and accomplishing goals, such as being Senior Bowl MVP (check) or finishing top-five in every drill at the combine (check).

I think we were hoping he fell in the draft and became a valuable backup similar to the situation that the Pats are in with Garrapollo. Look at some of these teams, Seattle TB Ravens Chargers. I think lots of teams might be drafting project QBs in the future to leverage additional higher picks for QB desperate teams. Also to be fair, Cam hasn't been a picture of great health the past few years.

Taking a QB anywhere before Round 5 seems like a wasted pick imo. Granted I think if a guy like Josh Dobbs falls to rounds 5 and 6 then he wouldn't be a terrible pick. I'm more than fine with upgrading DA with a young QB with a similar Cam skill set.

    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
    • Thank you for all the release metaphors!  It's helped make my morning 😃 But no...just eww..
