He's not Mac Jones. He's Andy Dalton.

Andy Dalton couldn’t break 3000 passing yards at TCU. He is more athletic, better at passing and has the stats to prove it. I don’t know how good he will be, but Andy Dalton isn’t his ceiling. You could almost combine the best two Dalton college years and have worse numbers than Pickett’s last season.

These are just lazy comparisons from folks that don't want to like Pickett.

Dalton ran a different offense in a different era. Comparing college stats is a fool's errand. They mean little to nothing. Graham Harrell threw for more than 15,000 yards across three seasons. Why wasn't he the GOAT???

They're similar in terms of skillset and talent. You should watch football sometime instead of googling stats. You might learn a little bit.

Overall, Pickett isn't a bad QB prospect. My biggest concerns with him are hand size, the fact he sucked until this year, and his age.

I think he can be a good QB in the NFL. But I don't think his ceiling is as high as others in this draft. 

With each passing day I am more and more confident that he will be our pick at 6.

2 of those teams have picks before us but a place holder at QB and 1 has the picks to jump us and no place holder at QB. I just hope he's still there at 6.  

I don’t care if someone gets him jump us, hell give us picks and u can have him at our spot

I just said he is more athletic than Dalton as well. Joe Burris/Mac Jones were the two latest to light up the stat sheets. They seem to be doing ok in the NFL.  He won Pitt their first ACC championship in a long time. 

PS Pitt runs a NFL Pro offense and he broke Marino’s record and Watson’s ACC record. It wasn’t a college air raid offense that Harrell was in. You would know that if you actually watched the games instead of repeating lazy comparisons you read online.

lol I actually prefer Willis and then probably Howell, but I think the Pickett hate us just overblown by a large margin. It was similar to Mac Jones last year (and I was one of his haters). Accuracy and the ability to read through progressions quickly is underrated plus he has good athletic ability and a decent arm.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
