People are acting like this is all just pro day hype and throwing vs air.. but he out performed the field at the senior bowl as well.  Most people had him qb1

Ridder looked the best at the senior bowl that I saw.  Hes another one I would be fine taking a little later if they traded back and the staff liked him.

Year ago I listened to an interview from Steve Deberg when Steve Sabol was still alive. Deberg had one of the unluckiest careers of anybody in NFL history:

He came into the league with the Cowboys in the mid 70's. The team was set with Staubach at QB, but the team realized he was talented and tried to hide him on their practice squad. The 49er's claimed him.

He went to SF and became  a starter until Walsh replaced with a 3rd rounder named Joe Montana.

He went to Denver as a starter until Dan Reeves replaced him with !st rounder John Elway.

He went to Tampa, and got replaced by Steve Young

He finally ended up in KC and actually led the team to the playoffs under Marty S. I believe, but he never became superstar. He had the misfortune of being replaced or held back by 4 Hall of Fame QB's. He once broke down what was great about the latter 3.

Elway: Possibly the strongest arm He ever saw. Said he footballs looked and sounded like no other QB.

Young: Maybe a better physical specimen than Elway in terms of mobility and running. Said Young could have been a viable RB in the NFL

Montana: Couldn't throw like Elway. Couldn't run like Young. Not a great physical presence like the latter two. Said Joe was best QB he ever saw. When asked what made him great  Deberg said I can't pinpoint it Joe was just great and understood how to play the position from the neck up.

It goes back to what Mr. Scott said (paraphrasing) "Process what's happening on the field and throw the ball to right spot at the right time" Any QB that can do that is going to be successful. It doesn't matter about the physical tools if he can't do the things highlighted above.

PS: Bill Walsh was once asked to rate Deberg as a QB. He said he had one of the prettiest balls he ever saw and was a better"pure passer" than Joe Montana...talk about irony.

Yep.

I'd add one thing. I think Favre probably beats Elway as far as strongest arm. A couple of receivers ended up with broken fingers catching his passes.

 Boom exactly what I’ve been saying lol. I hope someone will trade up to us for him, give me more picks over Willis being qb

[MHS831]

The Panthers are in love with the Panther from Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh is in love with the Flame from Atlanta.  Got it.

[SteveSmithTD89]

This pro day really enforces that there is a lot to love with both Willis and Pickett. 

 

Whoever we end up with I'm very excited for especially if Rhule takes a hands off approach to the offensive staff he's assembled and let's them develop and coach.

[CPF4LIFE]

He has all the ability...i just dont know if you are going to see it his first year and matt rhule doesn't have time to wait. That's the reality for this team.

The deep throws were amazing

Besides that he was off on 8/10 of his passes.

The whole thing felt way too loose and meritorious 

Trey Lance had a great deep ball at his pro day too

Person just said he completed 64/69 pass attempts??  I'd love to have Trey Lance.  Kyle traded 3 firsts to get him...

Yeah it’s interesting reading comments  in here and now

and i did want Zach. I still think he can be good under the right circumstances/team. I said before I thought he should sit a season. Malik I think similarly.

I'm not trying to trash on Malik.  He's pretty impressive as a raw prospect.  But people get a little too excited about these pro days every year.

Technically he was (Auburn, if I recall correctly).

He chose to transfer to Liberty after not winning the starting job there.

couldnt win a starting job at Auburn whose current roster of qb's is awful.

[BurnNChinn]

Lol what does this guy know he called Littleton, Littlejohn.

Tomorrow we'll find out there's a lot to love about Matt Corral.

There's chatter that the 49ers may be starting to question whether Lance was the right choice.

They expected to have him coached up by now, but the comments I've seen have described him as being "a year away from being a year away".

He'd be in illustrious company...
