Three more than UNC had.

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.

There's just no way Pickett has 8.25" hands. I think he measures at or near 9" and the hand size thing pretty much goes away.

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.
