Reminds me a lot of Drew Brees. 6'2 Senior out of TCU . Projected a 4th rounder but i believe will move up to 3rd.

Ever year in college his completion percentage went up. Every year in college his QB rating went up (166 this season). Every year the number of sacks he took went down.

I believe he is playing in the senior bowl. Hopefully we have some folks looking at him. Could be a late round steal. Most places rank him the 7th best QB in this draft.

I like him, the biggest knock that seems to go against him is that he played for TCU. If we could get him in the 4th or with a conditional 3rd round pick I would be pretty happy.

Not a good pick...he will be a coach in a few years. He reminds me of all those QBs with big numbers that come out of Texas Tech.

He's tough and very smart. But his arm is in no way an NFL arm. He reminds me alot of the guy who was the qb for the U when they lost to Ohio state in the Championship game years ago. The guy who threw to Johnson (with the Texans) in college. great college qb but just does not have the arm to play at the next level. I hope he makes it but I don't think he will.

Sign me up. I live in Fort Worth, and thus have been able to the attend many TCU games (I'm not a TCU fan, so this is not a fan's point of view), but when he plays he takes complete command of the field. He has great vision, a strong arm (despite those who haven't seen him argue he puts a great ball in a place that his receivers can run after catch, nice deep ball too), goes through progressions, good athlete. If there is any QB I'd like outside of Luck, it's this guy... Will be steal of draft.

By the way, a guy I work with knows this guy, says he's super smart and all ready took and passed the Bar Exam and will be going to Law School if NFL doesn't work out... Very smart guy. High Character and does a lot in the community even as a player.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
