lol, it's unlikely Corral amounts to much but I won't read into the other guys' preseason performances at all. I really think this draft for QBs is going to wind up like 2013's without a single good long term starter coming out of it. Maybe Pickett, just because he's in a great situation, but I think his upside is more Chiefs Alex Smith and not better than that. Willis maybe but he's a longshot. The other guys I highly doubt ever become more than backups. It was a rough draft to need a QB.

Do we really need to bring teammate praise into this 😂 you know how many players have praised Sam Darnold in our locker room?

No doubt Howell has looked good in the preseason, I think we can probably let his performance speak for itself.

I was specifically referring to the "baller" comment and the similarities to my previous post but I didn't think that would actually require explaining.

Oh...so you both called him a "baller".  Pretty crazy stuff, my mistake.

If you're going to try to be snarky at least out some effort into it and be good at it. Go back and read the post. I wasn't even specifically referring to Howell. I was talking about Corral and his situation.

I mean that could be the case but early on it looks the opposite to me. This was panned as a all time horrible class. Pickett looks ready to go now. A team without an established qb I could see them starting willis today if need be. He flashed.. Rider flashed... Howell flashed.. Some other lower tier guys.. 

There is at least optimism for most these guys like oh they are better than we thought... Except..corral..

I'm not surprised. I said the whole time that the only thing this QB class lacked was that slam dunk top of the class type prospect. I think everyone (NFL decision makers included) just got carried away with the mantra that this QB class was awful. I never saw it.

You could say that about a lot of our picks lately 

I would only say that about corral for now. I'm pleased with icky he got some pass block stuff to work on he will get there I hope. Amaro B has shown potential he could eventually fill in for our loss at Outside pash rusher. Brandon Smith looks like a player.. Hell even Barnes the speed freak from Taylor looks like a keeper. I'm ok with everyone except...

Did a single one of these rookie QBs play any snaps against other team's starters? From my following from afar, I believe the answer to that is no but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have to day pickett did for sure and willis started like 2 games and played a lot of time in all of them. How long the other tram kept starters in is beyond me. But the point is when their number was called they answered and looked like they belonged. That's all you can ask for at this point for the rookies.

I want you flash potential... I didn't say you had to go out there day one light up the Raven's first team defense. Just show your a nfl caliber player. Give hope for the future. They did that.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
