I worry Pickett is just an older dude finally playing good in college ball because he’s older than the majority of kids he’s against. His fifth year of college ball finally got him over 15 touchdown passes in a season and that concerns me.  

Burrow had a similar career path - he’s showing his final season was no fluke

I remember I said that about Jimmy Clausen, who was dang near 20 playing high school football. LOL

If by trust, you mean you feel that the player is a sure fire NFL success, then there is no college qb ever that I trusted.  To many examples of sure fire hits that ended up failing for me to trust them.  Until they prove otherwise, this year's batch has the same chance of success as last year's.  

Trust as in believe they have more of a chance of being success than a failure. I would put the odds of NFL success for this entire class at less than 50%. JMO, obviously but it's a very, very weak QB class.

There are things I like about Howell, but I feel he is massively overrated here due to UNC homerism.

What homerism? Most people don’t like him or thinks he sucks because they are a bunch of Duke basketball fans or NCST fans on here

I agree that the odds are less than  50%, but I think the odds are less than 50% for almost any class.  I think the odds are less than 50% overall for last year's class.   In fact, if you look at it realistically, there are may 10-15 solid qb's in the NFL right now.  And probably 3 or so are drafted in the first round every year.  So it would seem that well over 50% of qb's drafted in the first round don't succeed.

I mean less than 50% for each prospect individually. 

We just aren't going to agree on this. I view this as a bad QB draft class and you don't. It is what it is.

I certainly hope that the team doesn't share your rosy view because I don't really want to see us end up in further QB purgatory as we go down this Cleveland Browns road we are currently on.

Bs.. If it was Julius Peppers nobody had a problem with picking him no matter what college Basketball team they root for.. If Sam was a can't miss prospect in a highly rated draft class we would love to grab him.. But that isn't the case..

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's a different vibe for sure. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and his general plan---that which he tells the world---sounds like a working plan. Reich didn't seem to have a plan, and Rhule's plan was ill-suited for grown men. Reich coached like a zombie---just dead and uninspiring. Rhule thought that he could take his college guys and dominate in the pros, smiled in guys faces and threw them under the bus. His brand of motivation has plays running to a DBO sign. Canales seems to be schooled in motivation, but also believes the stuff he is selling down to his core. We'll see if it holds up.
