I really wouldn't just the Air Raid offense. Good kid but also 26 is just a huge turn off for me. (in quarterbacks, not women.)

Not impossible but I struggle to see it because I remember how pedestrian he looked at VT when he wasn't playing in that Tennessee offense. Did he pull a Hurts and improve tremendously in a different setting? Maybe. But I honestly doubt it. IMO he's a 3rd round talent.

This is true but the Seahawks just resigned Geno Smith to a big deal at age 32 because he was really good last season.  26 isn’t old if the guy can play

I wouldn't count him out just yet. Fitterer has mentioned his name on more than one occasion. They've met with him once already and I think they plan to be at TN's pro day where I'm sure they will meet with him again.  I've made a mental note of it.

He is normally a third round talent…I agree.  Everyone needs to realize that this is a weak draft overall.  Hooker is a sleeper.  He was remarkably efficient the last 2 seasons

Yup and we still can draft a QB next season too. People are so damn desperate for a QB now that three 1st rounders, hell the next decade of 1st rounders, could be on the table.

58 TDs passing vs 5 int in the SEC over 2 years is killing it

Lamar Jackson in college: 57% completions. Pros? 63.7%

Drew Brees in college: 61.1% completions. Pros? 67.7%. 
 

Dudes having better completion percentages in the NFL compared to college is actually fairly common now. That perception of it being the opposite stopped being accurate like ten years ago. People can stop using Josh Allen as the only example now. Sometimes you have poo teammates in college. And their WR in the NFL make a lot of those catches that get dropped in college.

Man, you are going down with the AR ship.  I commend you for fronting for your boy but the excuses you are making for him are crazy.  Peace brother.

Compare Hooker with AR the last 2 seasons,  tell me who is the more talented QB.  Please explain

Only because he got hurt. If he didn't get hurt he would be right in the first round QB talks.

I literally advocate for trading up to number 1 for CJ Stroud in every thread. I’m just pointing out the notion that only Josh Allen improved his accuracy from college to the pros is inaccurate. Look at my post history. I’ve been leading the CJ bandwagon since like October.

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
