Mcshay was on the bill simmons pod yesterday and breaks down a lot of the qb prospects.  Loves the oregon kid, still likes lsu kid a lot as well.  Not high on Allar at all.

 

With Fernadez he says he plays in RPO quick decision offense and its hard to evaluate him because of the 30 throws a game maybe 5 are nfl worthy.   But he is big strong and mobile.

 

I absolutely will be watching Indiana vs iowa today

Oregon vs PSU should be 2 QB prospects going at it. I do like Moore a lot, but I’d be surprised if he declares as a redshirt sophomore.

Just going on eye test without looking at stats or metrics or whatever

Mateer looks and plays like Herbert and Mayfield.

Mendoza reminds me of Mariota, I would be worried about him the most in the NFL. Just kinda that same offense Mariota was in, it may take a while to transition

Sellers, some mix of Cam Ward and Roethlisberger, if he could be accurate passing downfield... the rest of this season is critical but as of right now I would be worried if we took him as well

Nussmeier reminds me of Kirk Cousins

I want no part of Manning, Allar or the Clemson guy

What did you think?  Iowa arguably has one of the stingiest defenses year in and year out.  Not the pristine stat line Mendoza had been putting up, but a more realistic one. That said, not too shabby at all.  One of the best defenses he will see all season and on the road.

Two passes tells me this kid has what it takes--2:07 and 6:25. Yeah, he had a pick while getting blown up on an A gap blitz, but still was just slightly high.  This kid's accuracy is freaking rare.  Both of his miscues were results of OL failures.

Most QBs would be satisfied with the numbers for this game.  This is a poor outing for Mendoza.

Check out Dante Moore vs Penn St on the road.

I thought he looked good all things considered.  Made some big boy throws, has smooth mechanics and moves and sees well in the pocket.  Its not a frantic style like we are seeing here.  Will he be a good nfl qb?  Too early to tell but he looks like a prospect.

 

The kid from Oregon is legit.  Dude is fearless and has a arm

 

Allar, who I was high on before the season, looks completely lost

I agree Allar feasts on lesser opponents and shrinks versus the big dogs.  He's not QB1 material.  Moore seems to be a duel threat guy, mostly.  I like what little I've seen, but the guys that run a lot use that as a crutch.  I'd rather have a pocket guy that's mobile than a QB looking to run as soon as the pocket gets mucked up.   Mendoza took some shots last night and still stood poised in the pocket. He didn't get happy feet or bail as soon as the OL started to collapse.  Granted that willingness to stay in the pocket lead a couple sacks, strip sack (own recovery) and a pick, but unlike a certain QB in Charlotte, he didn't get rattled and marched down the field for the game sealing TD not too long after the INT.

You sure Dante Moore at Oregon is purely a dual threat? I think you might be thinking of Taylen Green. Moore has 1200 passing yards 14 passing TDs, 1 INT, with a 75% completion rate vs 122 rushing yards 0 rushing TDs on the season. Mendoza has 6 more carries so far for example.

No, it's based on projection at the next level.  Sellers definitely has the highest ceiling, but he also has one of the lowest floors.

No more SC players. Sellers is another AR in the making. Projection alone is a dangerous way to select a pro qb. I will stick to the production on the field and then project that to the nfl.

Safest bets as of now are: 1) Mateer, 2a)Mendoza 2b) Moore 3) Nussmeir 4) Leavitt

I am leery as heck about Allar, Sellers, Beck and Klubnik.  

Allar is so frustrating. I get he doesn’t make many weapons at PSU but he disappears in big games. His arm is impressive though…

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
