If Titanic is Hooker in this reference and came out is well uh... you know....

The titanic took a hit to the knee that didn't repair. Just kind of tilted, broke, and sank to the bottom the the Atlantic...coast conference.  Alright, I'm out of bad jokes today.

Hendon Hooker a 26 year old rookie coming from a gimmicky system that is hurt is the safest pick in this draft?  Damn man I know you are a troll poster but this takes the cake

This. People harp on Levis for his age but this guy is a full year older. He also hasn’t had his leg torn up. 
 

More brilliance from the Huddle QB screening process.

Of the QB's in this draft he seems like the most safe pick. But Stroud/Young/Levis/AR are simply just more talented as QB's.

 

 

Hooker is less talented than AR? Based off of what? Stats? No. Hooker destroys AR in that. Height? No. Weight ... uh I guess? Potential ... that thing no one can gauge? Competition? Both played in the SEC.

IIRC, Hooker was a one-read QB with happy feet and is coming off an ACL injury at 25 years old. 

I trust Reich/Brown/McCown, so if Hooker is the guy we go with, so be it. It's appearing more and more like Stroud/Young go 1-2 and then AR probably top-7 as Levis' stock is plummeting. 

 

It's not Levis whose stock is plummeting.  I do not think AR had as much stock as you think. At this point he's not a top 5 qb in this class. That could change after the combine but I think teams have these guys ranked differently than you guys are ranking them.

Arm strength, core strength, speed, and potential (AR is 4 years younger with only one season as a starter).  Hooker also played in a very QB friendly system at UT with a couple NFL WRs around him. In 2020 Hooker was 98/150 with 1339 yards 9 TDs and 5 INTs at VT in a more pro offense against ACC defenses. He did have 620 more rushing yards and 9 TDs while still being older than current AR.  I'm not saying Hooker is bad, just SOME scouts are going to see AR as the next Josh Allen (potentially) with his size, speed, and arm strength.  His ceiling is through the roof, but there is a definite high bust factor in there as well.

Looks like the Saints are showing some interest in him as well....

Key takeaway from the article:

 

Eventually, every team will have met with virtually every prospect between contact at college all-star games, the annual NFL scouting combine, campus visits, pro day workouts, and private meetings at the team facility. So we shouldn’t make too much of this.

    • We've gone from wanting a franchise QB to an "elite" QB. Come on, people. 
    • All the side talk about BY aside I like the attention to small details. Though I find it hard to believe no one on staff and especially Josh McCown the QB coach tried to hone in on these things this time last year.
    • I haven't made any point but that "elite" is very much a matter of definition---it's subjective.  Dak has been good throughout his career, and last season was one of his best. Of course he faltered in the playoffs, but so did several QBs. So if you're going to ding him, you must ding them all, except one. There is only one truly elite QB in the league, and we all know who he is. Dak is a franchise QB. Matt Ryan was one as well. Palmer was as well before he got injured.  You seem to be suggesting that you can only win a chip with an elite QB. I say that you can win one without one. It's a team sport.  The fact is, Dak's career passer rating and career QBR are in the good territory, as a I've stated. If you look at his last season, they were more than good. QBs with lesser ratings than Prescott have led their teams to a chip.   Suggesting that most elite QBs will take a team bereft of a line and weapons to a chip doesn't make sense. It just doesn't. Mahomes and Brady are really the only ones that came close to that, and parts of their teams were elite if not most of their teams. Maybe Burrow can do it, but he's suffered some injuries that have directly affected his play and taken the shine off. You need at least a good team and a good QB. This pretty much shows itself every year.
