2023 QB watch list Herdon Hooker

Hooker just improved his stock leaps and bounds.  His pocket presents is amazing.  I was impressed with Young too but if things go sideways and we don't get the top pick Hooker might be an option.

That was an amazing game.  Defense was pretty much non existent but what a game. 

Only problem is he's basically the same age as Darnold.  If you hit with him, you're getting a solid 9-10 years, not some longer 15ish year career.  But the upside is surely enticing. 

Young's feel for the game is unreal though.

Now it's time to see Levis against a proper defense

I only got to see the last drive of the game. Hooker seemed quite poised and had nice touch on his throws. He reminded me of Doug Williams when he was standing in the pocket. He even had the cream sickle orange color that Doug used to wear with Tampa Bay’s original uniforms 😆

I’ll definitely be paying lower attention to this young man as the college season progresses.

Yes but Mahomes is a generational talent who ended up on a team with coaches that knew how to use him and players that would work with that system. Put the qb with the wrong system and team they might not be as good.

And a coaching staff that basically gave Mahomes a full year to get acclimated. He didn't start until Week 17.

I'll take nine to ten years of good QB play and worry about trying to find the next one once he says he's thinking of hanging it up.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
