Difference at least for Stroud is he was second in P5 football in air yardage and it translated to the NFL. Stroud was sixth in the NFL in air yardage.

He’s a guy who can truly stretch the field.

Beck is all underneath.

Beck reminds of all the Bama QBs prior to Tua/Hurts.  He is smart and good….playing with arguably the best roster in football

I am impressed with Beck (QB UGA).  Worst case scenerio, but if Bryce bombs--and I hope he does not---because I really hope we are in play for a top edge rusher.

He sucks at throwing slants. Missed a TD on a slant throwing it high and just missed what would've been a 1st down conversion throwing a slant well behind the receiver.

Really don’t like this upcoming draft for QB’s, hopefully Bryce works out.

A couple G5’s to watch are Joey Aguilar from App State and Kaidon Salter from Liberty. Wish both transferred so it would be easier to evaluate them.

We'll see how it pans out over the season. No one would've expected Jayden Daniels to be a top picks. Same with the McCarthy and Penix.

I have not been looking at the college QBs much and I am not a good evaluator of QB talent historically--but I know that Ewers kept Arch Manning on the pine in Texas, which tells me that he won a competitive battle against a player who I am sure was/is a fan favorite.   To me, that means he is mentally tough.  Texas won too.  So I am interested in seeing what he can do.  Sure he has limitations, but so did Brees, Delhomme, etc.  Winning is a mindset, and I am interested in looking into him more if Bryce struggles.

It’s week 1 against a great defense. Last year he was 9.4 YPA.

I have no idea how Beck is the projected #1 pick in the draft.

 

A 5th senior on a loaded roster. He's basically getting the ball out quick to his receivers and they are getting him yards after the catch. No downfield throws so far.

 

 

Although i can kinda agree, the same was said of Joe Burrow

Daniels had showed a unique skill set though to go along with a decent senior season. His final year at LSU he just put it all together. I don’t really see a QB like him in this draft other than Sanders.

The knock on Penix was always his age and injuries, his numbers were always good. Even at Indiana. He was over drafted though.

McCarthy I don’t really have a feel on. I’d have liked to seen him in an offense that challenged the QB more. He can make the throws but Harbaugh made the offense simple for him.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
