Rich Eisen show - the discussion with Albert Breer Feb 5th

 

some quotes from the very beginning of the interview:

  • at the Senior Bowl:  "I don't know if there's a single NFL starter out there. "
  • "this draft class is not great"
  • "the worst since 2013"

 

After the Senior Bowl, I would say the consensus seems to be that this is an even weaker QB class than thought.

No 1st round talents to be found.

Maybe 2013 should have been a no-QB draft.    EJ Manuel was selected at #16 by Buffalo as the only QB chosen in the 1st.   

Manuel was a big, strong, fast, rocket armed QB who had great success in college at a top program (Florida State).  But he never developed into a reliable pro starter.  He was essentially done after just his first season in the NFL. 

Injuries contributed to Manuel's demise.  And also his coach Doug Marrone quit Buffalo after just 2 years and new coach Rex Ryan just didn't seem too interested in him.  So changing offensive schemes and franchise instability didn't help him much either.

I didn't watch the Senior Bowl, but from what I have read about the QBs, it was exactly what I thought it would be.  That being an underwhelming performance by a poor QB class.  Unsually one or two QBs take the opportunity to separate themselves and from reports I have read by scouting sites, it only confirmed the questions about each of them.  Ridder looks like he may be the winner.  Pickett? Yes, he was perfect, but on mostly underneath passes.  Kenny's TD was a simple dump off that the RB took to the house.  Willis looked as unpolished as advertised while the athleticism still intrigues.  Howell showed his inconsistency.  Strong showed he'll be turned into fertilizer at the next level.  Unfortunately, Zappe's arm is going to hold him back.  He show's the knowledge and moxie to succeed at the next level, but he simply doesn't have an NFL arm.

In short...STAY AWAY from QBs in this draft class!!!

I've read several reviews/recaps by folks much more qualified than you or myself on the Senior Bowl QB play.  That's all I need.  Actually, had one or more reports contradicted what I already knew about this sorry-arse QB class, then I may have been compelled to go back and watch it.

You didn't miss anything. None of the QB's played any better than they did during the practices. 

A few flash plays from Willis, Howell, Ridder, Strong and then a bunch of inconsistency. 

Just a really bad class. Maybe Corrall impresses. He is about all the hope left.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
