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

I'm not convinced the folks who race about Pickett's ability to read the field have watched him play outside of YouTube highlights. 

We are comparing him to Willis and the others.  He dominates those dudes

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.

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.

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.

Ideally we trade down. I fully expect it.

And nothing against Pickett, but fug him too.

I watched Howell in this game

Swap the QBs in that game and Pitt wins by 3 TDs.
