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 really like everything about his game i've seen. Great footwork, comfortable in the pocket, looks like he can make reads, can run it if needed but doesn't default to that like some other guys. I can't come up with a knock besides his age which still gives you an 8-10 year window if he does work out

8-10 years is the ceiling.  Many QBs go well past 35 if they play well.  Brady, Brees and Rodgers just to name a few.  Like someone mentioned before.  I'd take 8-10 years of good QB play.  Hell right now I'd take 5 good years.

a lot of help reading the defense

Explain this?  Who's giving him help reading the defense.  Who's your choice at QB?  Usually when someone comes up with a statement like this, they are grasping for things to find wrong with a player so they can have the QB they want. 

I watched most of the game.  Hooker wore out a top 3 team.  52 points against a team that is expected to compete for a National Title.  It's not like he managed the game.  He moved them roughly 40 yards into FG range is 16 seconds.

Please continue to nitpick.

The WR’s are placed wide, outside the numbers to limit numbers in the box. Easier to read the defense and a lot of open ground if you make it past the DL. 

The WR are harder to double when outside the numbers. I think all the open ground makes it easier on the WR to break into the open ground just outside the TE

Did you ever consider this might be the OCs call because of film study?  If your opinion is this, is the only way to help a QB why doesn't everyone use it?  

With this type of offense, it also opens up to relying on your offensive line to protect you.  Meaning the QB has to have the discipline to stand up in the pocket and make the throws.  The QB has to know the routes and coverage and who is most likely to be in single coverage.  There probably is more reading to do than a traditional offense.

It's a weak argument but, like I said earlier I think you have a preferred QB and don't want anyone to screw it up so you nitpick his skills.  

He may not be a perfect QB but IMO his performance yesterday opened a lot of eyes and he'll start to be in the conversation of a 1st round QB.

I think people are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about his age. It's less about the possible length of his career, and more about how much more he can improve from where he is. He's older, which could mean he is closer to his ceiling than someone younger would be.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
