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

I'm high on Penix as well.  I think he sneaks into the late first round.  Tune from Houston has put up some numbers and I know @saX manhas been high on him.  I think Ward has potential, but probably stays another year.  Jaren Hall has been flying under the radar, but he is small and Wilson struggling might also hurt his chances...

I like him for sure. Could be a top-15 pick when all is said and done ahead of Richardson & Levis.  But I still don't hear much about him from my limited scouting source.  There must be something team's are hesitant with about his game, but I really like what I've seen all season (Same w/Ward).  Bowl season and shorts season will be huge for both him & Levis.  

I advise people expect McKee & Tune to be risers.

As a probable day 3 QB, I'd take a look at Jordan Travis from FSU (granted, I am biased as an FSU fan). I think he has looked really good this year in how he has moved in the pocket, accurately throwing on the run, has good zip on his passes, and is capable of putting good touch on the ball when throwing (usually out of the pocket). And he's doing this with an average at best o-line.

Much like Cam, he definitely needs to work on his footwork when throwing, as he tends to sail some of his passes.

Richardson: 54% - 2549 passing yards - 17 TD/9 INT - 650 rushing yards - 9TD

Levis:   65%- 2406 passing yards - 19 TD/10 INT - -107 rushing yards - 2TD

Penix:  66% - 4354 passing yards - 29 TD/7 INT - 86 rushing yards - 4TD

2 ACL tears and a shoulder injury are what's keeping Penix out of the top-15, along with the Pac-12's lack of defense. 

I feel that a relationship with TD and getting a conditioning program in place with a HOF that had 3 ACL tears could work here. 

Carter/Anderson/Mayer in R1 and come back with Penix in R2.

To be fair, none of the people who were here for that are around anymore.

True....I meant more that we could bring TD in as a consultant or in a way similar to Luke and Smitty stopping by practices. Lend his own personal thoughts on the ins and outs of NFL life and what he did to maintain health while facing adversity.

This is an example of what I mean. Brugler who is very much in tune with a handful of FOs and different insiders speaks so cautiously of Penix. His notable sections are about how he wasn’t considered draftable before this season, has a long delivery and is a strider. There is clearly pause in the eval community, still though I think he’s looked great.

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
