2023 QB scouting report

Came across this video and it's a really good quick scouting report on each QB prospect in this years class. I think this dude is spot on with his assessments of each QB, talks about strengths and weaknesses of each. Not a Levis supporter but I can grow to like and support him if he is our pick. If all 3 QBs are gone, the next question is if we would take Richardson in the top 10. His eval of Richardson is a more raw Cam Newton when he came out in 2011. Some on the huddle would rather roll with Corral, but he thinks Richardson is a much higher and better prospect that Corral.

I will take AR. I don't believe we would have to trade up for him either so we keep most all of our draft picks we have this year. I will also take Levi's as I can see potential in him as well as long as we have a good coach in place who has a speciality of developing QB's as far as both of them goes. For me that makes Shane Steichen become very valuable and my number one candidate.

I don't mind a raw QB prospect AS LONG as the next HC can develop him. Our next HC and QB needs to be a perfect marriage. Joe Burrow is a franchise QB who saved Zac Taylor's job. Purdy is a poor prospect but playing well because of good coaching. Lawrence was trash before Pederson. I'm starting to move away from the notion that we have to have an elite prospect at the QB position, obviously it helps to be elite, but with right coaching and situation I think success can be found.

AR and Levis were in pretty similar situations regarding the talent they were surrounded by,

Based what exactly? The fact that Florida outrecruits Kentucky virtually every year ('21 12 vs. 35, '20 9 vs. 25, '19 9 vs. 34, '18 14 vs. 37) or the fact that Florida ends up w/ a better conference record virtually every year ('22 both 3-5, '21 2-6 v. 5-3, '20 8-2 vs. 4-6, '19 6-2 vs. 3-5). So for four years UF was clearly better than UK in recruiting and record except for one single year where UK beat them with conference record. Those of you excusing AR's horrific stats due to no talent at the University of Florida are in for a rude awaking. The good news is that AR is truly the man to lead us to the number one overall pick in '24 or '25 depending on when we start him. If we hire Steichen and he uses AR in an RPO run heavy offense, he could succeed here for a few years before he starts to break down like a running back.

I’m not sure Purdy was a poor prospect. He was just overlooked. Some had him going Day 3. 

This YouTuber was raving about him pre-draft.

But yes, coaching is a big factor here.

It is an odd little cult on here, that is for sure.

I like the following six QB's in the 2023 NFL Draft : 1 Bryce Young 2 C.J. Stroud 3 Will Levis 4 Anthony Richardson 5 Tanner McKee 6 Hendon Hooker.

They all have a chance to succeed at the NFL level if they have coaches that will teach them to be better leaders and communicators on and off the field and assist them in unleashing their full talent with the proper drills and techniques.

    • If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.    
    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
