Trask was a better college QB he was just physically limited. Pickett's arm isn't any better. He's a better athlete but it doesn't really show up on game day.

He's a prototype 2nd rounder.

Darnold played behind a good OL at USC where he was also plagued by turnover issues. Darnold just isn't a QB. He's a talented thrower of the football but he's not a QB.

 

 

USC is a different story but I would be stupid not to recognize the turnovers with Sam.  That was literally the first thought that popped in my head when we traded for him.  He doesn’t read the defense at all.  That is really the downfall with Sam.  “It factor” is missing

Darnold is a panicker. When things don't go perfectly to plan he panics. He sticks with his first read until he comes open or something makes him panic. His good plays come when his first read is open or immediate pressure forces him to go to his hot read or check down. Those are the only two scenarios where he succeeds.

Go watch Howell and Corral.

Stop…Howell and Corral are both very average.  I love Sam Howell but he is lacking in many areas.  Corral hasn’t figured out is own life yet much less leading an NFL team.

Pickett runs out of college eligibility prior to last season normally. He would've been a late round pick or UDFA. He's a beneficiary of an extra year due to COVID. How good are Corral and Howell with five years of college experience?

Gotta see Pickett for what he is - a guy playing in college who was as old as most second year NFL QBs.

Pickett won't be able to throw outside the numbers in the NFL unless a receiver is wide open. Defenses are going to FEAST on that.

fug…these QBs are all average.  Kenny is the best of the rotten bunch.  It is what it is……is Kenny Pickett a Super Bowl winning QB?  LOL.  NO Fuggin way

Kenny had the best college stats this year of the bunch. I wouldn't read anything more into it than that.

We can’t take a QB at 6 right?  Seems completely ridiculous.  As much as I try to talk myself into it I just can’t.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
