Who should we be looking at outside the "top 4" QB candidates?

Michael Penix Jr. threw for 485 yards and had five total touchdowns in a 51-33 win over WSU

I know he has an injury history, but I feel he is getting over looked. Plenty of TDs and leads the league in passing yards. Washington could finish in the top 10…

99.9% sure Richardson returns to school.  Stroud may as well considering he's looking at us or Houston as his potential teams (*cough* Andrew Luck *cough*) and OSU is 0-2 versus Michigan while he's been there.  If it's Young and Levis whereby Houston takes Young #1, TRADE DOWN!  We need more picks anyway.

He has had a couple of torn ACL's but has come back from them nicely. I think Thomas Davis had 3 in his young career and never looked back so it's possible he can stay healthy from here on out. I stayed up late to watch the game last night (this morning) to watch him and Cam Ward play. Penix has great touch on the ball and reminds me a little of Warren Moon.

No way Stroud returns as he is a top 5 lock. Richardson has had a couple injury scares already. If he is a 1st round lock then he probably goes. Next year he will be battling Maye, Williams, McCarthy, and whoever else might have a Pickett or Burrow season.

Tanner McKee 

Jaylen Daniels 

Penix is a toss up, want to see how he keeps it up through the season but he's on track.

Those 3 are quality guys with great upside, and most importantly NFL level arms which for some reason gets lost on a lot of people when that's most critical at the end of the day.  Daniels is the one to watch IMO.  

I want to love Ward.  But I think he should stay another year.  He's young and has mad potential.

The rest are a bit of toss-ups/developmental.  I get why people may like some like Rogers, J Hall, etc. but they're a bit of stretches.

The most important thing is actually NFL level ability to read the field and the ability to digest new schemes and offenses. 

The NFL arm can put you into an elite class but not without that "NFL brain" to go with it.

I have a co-worker that's a HUGE, HUGE Gators fan and he says Richardson has been saying behind the scenes he's probably returning next year, though obviously nothing official yet.

Probably correct about Stroud, but if it comes down to us and the Texans as landing spots, that very well could change his mind.  He's a RSO, so there's no urgency there besides money.  Again, it's happened to us before.  EVERYONE thought Luck was coming out that year and when it came down to it, he opted to return to school.  While Andrew sugar-coated it, everyone knew why.  I bet if you could ask Trevor Lawrence if he should have stayed instead of going to the Jags. I bet he has some serious second thoughts.

Stroud probably does declare, but I don't think it's a slam dunk decision as you make it seem.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
