Combine Drills: Quarterback Day

I just don't see the appeal of Levis.  They keep talking about the "cannon" and I don't see it.  The accuracy hasn't been all that impressive compared to his peers throwing today either.  And that's paired with the disappointing year he's coming off of.  I don't want any parts of that dude.

I also think I am officially transitioning into AR or bust territory.  And I have a feeling after the combine that's gonna require moving up to #1.

Sounds like a little bit of bias is in there... Id warn that with the 4 headed QB race being in place... for your mental health you should consider rooting for all of them.

Yeah, his a talent hasn't stood out in this group. Stetson Bennett has been the best thrower in this group by a pretty comfortable margin. He might have a better shot of translating to the NFL than I previously thought. I thought he was a good college QB made to look great by surrounding talent. But he's throwing the ball really damn well out there. He's standing out.

Levis and that Princeton kid could be a fun combo we realistically could land.  Smooth.

I'd rather the team trade up no matter what it takes to land the guy they want than settle for one they might not believe in just because it's a more realistic pick.

Someone has a little Haener crush. His is flying under the radar because of his injury.

I do I do.  He's got skills.  Think he could kill it in a Shanahan type offense. 

Good decision maker, high football IQ, excellent presnap.  I'm interested to see where he lands.  He's not at the top tier by any means but I think he's got a future.  Could instantly be a backup for a guy like Cousins.  I think O'Connell could do some work with him in Minny. Not a bad idea for a team like Miami as well.  Would be instantly better than Thompson if Tua goes down again.

I would've really preferred him there say something along the lines of "I have all the confidence in the world in my ability to throw the football but I'm not gonna sit here and claim to be better than a former NFL MVP. That would be disrespectful. I gotta go out there and prove it."

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
