The most famous QB in Dallas Cowboy history, Roger Staubach, didn't enter the NFL until he was 27 due to a 4 year stint in the Navy. He didn't become a full time starter until age 29. I'm not saying Hooker is the 2nd coming of Staubach, but I don't think him entering the league at age 25 is in and of itself a big factor in determining how well he plays in the NFL. In fact, the older and maturity could turn out to be a huge positive in his favor.

Oh, I agree, but the question (at least in my mind) is how it will affect his valuation.

It won't.  Teams really do not consider age as a knock on a prospect of he can play. If you can get great play out of the kid for 5 years why would you think he couldn't give you a few more in their 30s?  The only thing that really matters is if the kid can play the game at a high level in the nfl.

I can see us with Hooker, and the game is on the line and we're behind a score and him putting up a valiant fight...and still losing.

I can see Levis in those situations making a bold move and then saying "Dammit, Will!" and losing.

I can see Young, Stroud, and Richardson in those situations and making something special happen. 

I want one of those three.

This is great. I haven’t had a post on here make me laugh in so long. Thank you.

 

And yea, I could see the same. I don’t want Levis, but if they decide he’s the guy, I’ll be down.

I have guys I want and guys I don't, but I trust these coaches more than my gut or any other opinion. 

I'm trying to prepare myself for them picking a guy and going

You also have to prepare for the possibility that they simply cannot get in a position to take their 1st choice at qb. It takes 2 to tango you know.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
