Yup, certain names are starting to get attached to teams now.

I've also heard don't be shocked if Penix goes ahead pf McCarthy.  Personally, I've always had Penix higher.  For whatever reason about a month ago McCarthy caught fire, but that fire seems to be smoldering a bit now. Penix is being talked about to either the Vikings or Raiders and Nix to the Broncos, but that would be a later trade, not in the first round.

If I were starting a game next week and had McCarthy and Penix on my roster--its Penix all day.  McCarthy seems to be running a self-promotion add.  At the beginning of all this, you and I (I think) debated whether McCarthy would be there at 33.

Damn

 

I swear it feels like they are going at a QB, the big three will be gone by 3......does JJ have their eye?.....I still think penix is better.

I called penix going form 12-32 months ago, but Im starting to feel that first number needs to be lower now.

I think penix is 1st lock, imo.

 JJ hype has cooled massively, but I still think he's a 1st too.

 

Yeah--Penix is better, but it all depends on Penix.  The Raiders have been rumored to him.  Latest rumor?  The Dolphins take Penix, avoid the contract w Tua.  Downfield thrower to those speedster WRs.  It makes sense.

 

Think about it--Miami trades up with Denver who moves back to 21 and they take Nix.  Miami gets Penix, saves millions on the Tua contract, and The Raiders are bamboozled.

I think that's the deal, the Dallas or miamis are sick and tired of the contracts that are 60mill per for a QB that struggle in the playoffs, get a cheaper and better player. (others teams may join)

I'd do the same, there's maybe 4-5 QBs Id give that insane bag to, dak and tua are not there...

      So, just what is it that makes a QB "elite"?

      By The Lobo · Posted

      I think what makes a qb elite is when every week you think your team has a chance to win because of your qb. No matter who they play, they always make you feel like you have a chance. I have not gotten that feeling once while watching Bryce.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By d-dave · Posted

      Great point!  The quotes from O'Connell about teams failing rookie Qbs and the one about how you coach them after 3 picks and a loss were really interesting.  To me, an idiot with a keyboard, it means NFL teams need to be patience if they are going to have quality QB play. So bringing me to Bryce, is there some benefit to being patient.  I know it's not a particularly popular opinion around here, and even I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.  Most QBs, when benched lose their confidence.  It takes a LONG time to get it back.  Bryce on the other hand was benched, and came back a different player.  I feel like that's worth a lot more than the physical talents of a guys like AR15... I think Bryce has the mental make up to be a good NFL QB.  His problem will always be his tools.  Now it's on coaching to work around that.  Bryce is more physically gifted than late years Drew Brees (low bar, I know).   While I'm content to see what happens this season, there's a small part of me that says...maybe we should see what grows?  (let me duck and hide from the well earned vitriol the Panthers have earned). Then again, I agree that some guys get it while others just don't.  I'm still hoping for the Panthers and Bryce to find success this season.  But if not, I won't be too surprised if the plug is pulled and there is a restart.
