Kenny Pickett > Malik Willis (at least for us)

[rippadonn]

Owners and Coaches fan boy crush because of hometown love. One good season out of five. That won't cut it in the NFL. If we can avoid that self inflicted wound like drafting Zach Wilson

 

 instead of Fields (58%comp on 270att) or Cheesy Mac Jones

 If we can avoid the trap laid by the establishment for dummy teams like the Jets who are always at the top of the draft picking the wrong QBs, totally following the hype. If we can find the guy in this draft who can play QB the best consistently not necessarily the best scrambler, your dime dropping Drew Brees efficient level guy we've got our next franchise QB.

Does picking Mac Jones say, #6 last year seem stupid now?

Look at Mac Jones' completion percentage his first year, a career average of 67%!

By the numbers and performance Mac was the best QB in that draft. Proof is in the pudding.

This year's Mac Jones?

His name is 6'4" laser guided bazooka arm 70%completion for two years consecutively, academic and football wiz kid Carson Strong.

The best most complete player of the quarter back position in this draft.

The Panthers will whiff on this Penn Fhules Gold, laughed out of the mint.

I also think if we pass on pickett and he ends up being a star while we are still in qb carousel ...

Agreed, can't take that risk

If we sign a LT to a more than one year contract, we are going QB. I think Pickett is the best of this year's group and also think he can be a top 10 qb

McCalls highlight throws look eerily similar to mahomes.   His throws from different arm angles is impressive 

He doesn't have Mahomes arm strength but the accuracy and ball placement is next level. 

As an App State fan, I don't love Coastal but I love McCall.

I’ve watched every single game he’s played, most of them live.

Louisiana and Ole Miss are just flat out better than Liberty… the ULM game was an outlier but definitely a bad loss.

Okay? Just being "better" doesn't mean much when you're talking about taking a guy in the Top 10. Willis CRUMBLED in those games. I don't even know that he is a one read quarterback because I rarely see him make reads. He drops back and just looks for open guys rather than throwing with timing and pace.

Some team will reach for him based on his Pro Day and I hope to God it's not the Panthers. The pressure he faced against Louisiana and Ole Miss are what he will get weekly in the NFL and he was absolutely atrocious in those games. 

Line up McCall and Willis and tell me who you would rather have. Look at their statistics against similar competition.

More specifically you could look at McCall's numbers against App State last year. App had a top quarter defense and it's comparable to Louisiana in terms of difficulty.

McCall finished 15/23 for 291 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers  with a QBR of 81 while playing on a high ankle sprain and bum shoulder. 

Malik Willis against Louisiana finished 14/34 for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns with two interceptions and a QBR of 19.8. 

That's a snippet but he was God awful and if some other team wants to reach and get him, let them.
