3 weeks in...let's look at QBs

[davos]

And it's not what you think.  Definitely not looking at the 2022 NFL Draft prospects. Yuck do they look bad.

Actually, even looking at 2021, they all look pretty bad.  And yes, it is early.  VERY EARLY.  But as many players and coaches say, there are certain intangibles guys either have or don't and they know the SECOND they step onto the practice field after they're drafted.  And the second they're in their first game.

Where to begin?:

Mac Jones: Even with a really solid Patriots team around him, he looks like he's barely scraping by. Doesn't pass the eye test for me.  2 tds, 3 ints in 3 weeks, a 52 qbr,  

Justin Fields Debut: 6-20, 30%, 68 passing yards.  Did not look ready.  Nagy is gone, I don't know if he'll survive a year with that offense.  

Trevor Lawrence: Mr Can't Miss everyone cried about missing out on? He's had some of the worst looking interceptions I've ever seen from a field awareness standpoint.  That flea flicker today is near the top.  What is going on there? 7 ints through 3 games.

Zach Wilson: Lawrence does not own that stat, he shares it.  7 ints through 3 games. 2 passing TDs (1 gimme against us when we put on the brakes)

Trey Lance: Looked decent in preseason, is with a good org and coaches.  They seem to be bringing him along in an interesting way.  He was out of range for us.  But DO NOT FORGET -- he was the who we sent our entire staff to go check out.

Davis Mills? Meh whatever haha

So, I mean, I'm not really craving any of these guys over GEQBUS. This is a man.

Honestly, the Patriots should've kept Cam, and the Bears and the Steelers need to be calling his agent. He may not be what he once was, but he's likely better than what we've seen from their guys.

Yea Fields the guy everyone was crying about had a poo day last week too doing his best The Golden Calf of Bristol impression. The Bears offense is bad but you can tell a QBs play like with Darnold on the Jets....he clearly had ability and an arm whereas Fields literally threw a short out 20 feet above the WRs head. Doesn't even remotely look like a first round QB.

Trevor has always been surrounded by tons of talent and is trying to do too much but I never thought he was a can't miss prospect

And what's awesome is Darnold is around the same age as these guys and already has a few years experience under his belt. We were basically gifted a #1 overall QB because his organization didn't use him correctly and wanted to make it look like it was his fault they sucked. Thank you for that. Best gift since Greg Olsen

I watched the first half of the Broncos - Jets game today. Bridgewater is doing what he always does - keeps the offence ticking and in rhythm, but refuses to take the deep shots and is unable to move the ball quickly.

When Denver get behind in games he won't be the guy to bring them back.

It also gives me some hope in our scouting crew with Matt & Scott. Word was they really liked Trey. But we only sent partial staff to other pro days. We had both Mac and Fields there for us to take and passed and took the first defensive player in an entire draft. Sure he’s out for a bit but it’s not a lisfrank and he looked amazing.

Getting who we got didn’t get the OL beefed up but they’re winning me over with most of their decisions. (Most—keyword)

I always thought Lawrence's accuracy - specifically his ball placement - was spotty. Otherwise he's about as good as it gets as a College prospect.

TL was easily the most talked up prospect since Luck. And honestly, he looks really shaky even being on a meh team. And it’s not like Chark & Shenault aren’t good. He has talent around him.

[Bartin]

While Lawrence has made quite a few bad and costly mistakes, he has at least made several big time throws in every game whereas the other guys just look lost right now.

Very happy we got Darnold especially considering how little it cost.

[Call Me James]

They're all rookies in pretty terrible situations aside from Jones. 

Seems to be a strange argument to make to prop up Darnold considering how he looked on the Jets last year.
