I think the volume of guys that we have there right now indicates probably more than just due diligence.

I'd expect that same group to attend all the others though.

(not sure what it would say if they didn't)

I'd hope from an optics standpoint that they keep it consistent w/all of the QB Pro Days. Would seem strange if they didn't unless they're trying to bluff their interest by overselling the attendance today.

With Fitt having seemingly more input (and McAdoo's opinion as well), I'm not stressing over Pickett if he's the pick. I don't think it's solely a Rhule/Tepper selection anymore, which gives me a tiny bit of hope that our actual football brains will draft him if they like him. 

Worst case, we end up with a Jimmy G on our hands. He's our QB for the next couple of years before we ship him off for better things. Gotta find a franchise guy somehow, and the draft is our only option right now.

Fitterer has had a lot of positive things to say about Pickett, and I don't think they're just lip service.

    • 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
