It’s a knock on not to me. He was awful in that final game as a passer. 

Awful? He was constantly pressured and barely had receivers open. I watched that game too. That was not on hurts. The eagles were just atrocious on offense including the play calling

Ironically, if you look for schools with multiple (more than one) starting QB, current Panther Teddy two gloves is one of them.

Oklahoma - Baker, Hurts, Murray

California - Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff

Louisville - Teddy, Lamar Jackson 

Purdue - Drew Brees, Drew Lock

 

 

Drew Lock went to Missouri.

Two of the last three #2 overall picks went to Oklahoma and they're both looking pretty good. Then they had one go in the 2nd last year and he showed some promise too. Rattler looks to have the makings of a future 1st rounder too. If there's a "QB school" right now it's OU.

One weird thing is that of all 3 of the QBs you just mentioned that are already in the NFL, none of them started at Oklahoma.  All 3 of them transferred in.  Baker from Texas Tech, Kyler from Texas A&M and Jalen from Alabama.

To me the best QB school for a long time was U of Michigan.  For several decades if you went to U of M, you were pretty much going to get drafted and be on an NFL roster.  And on top of that tradition and recruiting niche, they could also boast that one of their QBs was one of the hottest names in football - Tom Brady.  So what do they do with this level of success where top pro style QBs just jump at the chance to attend your school?  They hired Rich Rodriguez who ran off Ryan Mallett and ruined everything.  To this day I consider Rich Rod one of the dumbest hires in college football history.

Now we're going down that slippery slope of attributing TOO much to the QB position. Yes, it's the most important position in football, but if you don't surround that QB with a quality roster you're still going nowhere. Just look at the Houston Texans this year. Watson had over 4800 passing yards with 33 passing TDs vs. 7 INTs as well as another nearly 450 yards and 3 TDs running.

Two ugly losses in their first round playoffs where he was abused as a passer? Copy that!

There's no argument that Jackson's lack of postseason success will continue to be a question until he wins, and there's a good chance Baltimore loses this weekend as well.

But even a guy as great as PeytonManning took a couple of years to learn to win in postseason

Payton Manning also lost his first three playoff games. He had a reputation as a guy who couldn't win "the big game" until he did. I'm not saying that Jackson is Manning, he's not.

Jackson's made the playoffs each year, last year as the number one seed, and has an NFL MVP to his name. I think it's reasonable to say that's working out pretty well.

Will it work out for Lance? I don't even pretend to know.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
