Sam Howell

He (Pickett) is probably the best QB prospect right now if you want someone to come in and play right away. He gets through his progressions, makes pretty good decisions, and has decent wheels. He made some good throws, though his arm talent may not great. He reminds me of Mac Jones TBH.

Yeah if only the Bengals, Chargers, Cardinals listened to this… I’m also curious to who the best QB was in the ACC? 

They all have significantly better Olines than we do. We literally give up instant pressure inside - when Romo, a guy who has absolutely no skin in this game, is saying "it's not the QB's fault", people should listen. 

Big Dick Van Dyke.

I think this is the best game to evaluate Pickett.  It's his best season vs the best defense he played that year.   Now, this wasn't the week 1 Clemson D that GA saw as they had lost guys by this time but still a good test given the talent and coordinator. 

 

 

Thought this was about Howell. Lol

Counted 8 high performing plays by Pickett all game. Keep seeing the same thing from him, and I don't want Pickett. I want Addison and Bartholomew. Pickett rides Addison a lot for his production. Also, he needs capable pass catching TEs to not go into panic mode. Reminds me of Newton with his passing and Darnold with his pocket presence. Then throw in those gloves on the NFL level. No thank you. His Miami game that followed this was even worse, and he was unimpressive against UNC. He is a project. Obvious why his stats made the leap in 2021 from what he did the previous 4 seasons.

K Pickett was consistently below average before this season.  Will be 24 before the draft.  He had a nice year but he has red flags for days IMO.  Mac Jones was way more accomplished against much better comp on a much bigger stage.  Not comparable IMO.  The Joe Burrow comp is so out there I just can’t wrap my head around it.  Bust written all over Pickett

He's also about 36.

He has a chance to be good…no doubt.  Little early to say he is better than Howell IMO but he has talent.  What he did with his supporting cast was really impressive though.  Miami is definitely pointed up.

Interesting. Where do you think VanDyke will transfer to after this season?

You are right I think mostly.

I think they have similar strengths and weaknesses. Jones had quality players and coaches around him at Bama even though he played at higher level. Jones made good decisions and had enough talent (just not the high ceiling of some others in his class). Pickett I think fits that mold this year.

Pickett is probably a better athlete but Jones has him everywhere else.  Jones being drafted to that situation also helped him a ton.  Just against Picketts full body of work but respect your opinion if you like him

I don't watch a lot of college football but if Howell was getting blown up behind a bad O-line at UNC, won't he just end up just like another QB named Sam we all know- getting crushed behind a terrible line and never having the opportunity to show what he could do with even a modicum of protection?

If we plug Howell into this offense as is he will get destroyed and will fail miserably.  Tom Brady would fail with our OL.

    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
