And if this doesn't scare then absolute poo out of you then, you need a gallon of laxative: This is against VANDEBILT and Kentucky was at home! I get the kid has been banged up and his OL is trash, but DUDE, WTF???? NINE of his 19 passing TDs came against Miami--OHIO, Youngstown State and Northern Illinois.

But why? He was the #1 QB in the country coming out of HS. I have some thoughts, but nothing definitive. Clemson gets top 10, usually top 5 recruiting classes so the talent is falling off.

True, but I don't think that will happen...unless Sam gets the yips back. When Sam is playing confidently, he's actually an okay QB. Once he starts doubting himself though, his play turns into a dumpster fire full of paper and gasoline.

Me neither, but it's just an assumption that since his HC is leaving, that he may jump ship. McCall really has nothing more to prove. He already owns most, if not all, the QB records there. The only reason I think he stays is to finish up college and stay with his team...while padding his records. I seriously doubt he transfers to Liberty. Chadwell will try like hell to make it happen though. McCall got him that job.

Ewwwwwwww. That's some bad company right there.

Levis will be a top 10 pick especially as more underclassmen QBs are staying in school, potentially top 5. Mark it down. Outside of a respectable completion percentage, what jumps off the page? Nothing. He has near ideal size (could be a little taller) and a quick release. That's why people are infatuated with him. Every NFL staff 'thinks' they can mold a young QB as long as the physical qualities check the box. I'm saying, that's not always the case. Leaf had all the physical attributes you'd want in a franchise QB, but his college stat line showed otherwise.

Rhule trying to stave off the inevitable. I bet Matt would say the move was 100% on Fitterer. "I'm not the GM, I don't make trades."

Nah, it's cool. It's just the physical attributes people are drooling more so than the production is questionable to me. I'm not insinuating Levis is a head case or anything. Remember, crazy Ryan didn't fully come out until in the League and he couldn't handle the pressure of losing. It's more of the hard projection off the tangible rather gauging the intangibles. Again, just a gut feeling.

The laughing emoji didn't help either, sigh... It was a joke; nobody here likes Baker.

Yeah, that's been established a while ago. The bad thing about not being able to edit posts after 5 minutes. You won't be the last either.

FIFY.

True, but we need at least one veteran. Corral will be a redshirt rookie. I'm not sure Darnold is the guy or not and nobody is going after Walker. I think we bring PJ back for camp if for nothing else than an extra arm with some veteran presence.

Crap guys, that's the last time I try to do the math myself with using Google to find an article to collaborate. Holy cow!

Yeah, I got it backwards, I got 5.5 games needed to get BELOW 70%.

Unless I did the math wrong, Baker was at the 5th rounder threshold until his last start. That bumped him over the 70% threshold. We would have to make the playoffs for him to get below that again. In other words, we don't have enough games left for Baker to get below the 70% again.

Okay, so we KNOW that Baker isn't in the 2023 plans. Is Darnold? As a backup of course...let's not be stupid here.

Yeah, after starting him that one last game that put the nail in the coffin for keeping the 4th rounder. At least his cap hit was only $4.8 million. I'm honestly more pissed about the losing the 4th rounder.

Levis gives me serious Ryan Leaf vibes.

Right now other than Richardson, I doubt many of the other underclassmen are being given higher than a 3rd round grade. Why would they come out when they have eligibility left to improve their draft stock? With NIL money now, it's not like they are these completely broke college students eating romen noodles every night anymore.

I think he was a transfer this season. It honestly would be odd not to come back after just one season at WSU.

Let's assume all underclassmen QBs that's not named Stroud or Young return to school, this is the list we would be looking at: RSR- Levis-Kentucky RSR-Hooker-Tennessee RSR-Leary-NCSU RSR-Haener-Fresno St. RSR-O'Connell-Purdue RSR-Morgan-Minnestoa SR-Duggan-TCU SR-Nix Oregon SR-Tune-Houston SR-Mordecai-SMU -There's a few others, I only listed 10, but are so far down the list they will be UFAs.

There went my 3rd round pick if we didn't take a QB in the first round. If these underclassmen nearly all opt to stay in school, then this QB draft is going to dry up quickly. Depth was going to be the hallmark of this QB draft as it was limited at the top. It was and is the Stroud/Young show at the top, nothing about that is changing.

I'm still on the Michael Mayer bandwagon if we are hovering around pick 10. It's hard for me to justify a TE in the middle of the top 10, but the end of the top 10? Yes, do it. Look, it's no secret that a rookie QBs security blanket is a TE. Can you imagine Ian Thomas as our rookie's go-to guy? Mayer can be a Gronk type of guy. TB12 is even stuggling this year since Gronk decided to stay retire (like Tom should have). Mayer is a borderline generational TE. I get the glamorous positions QB, WR, ER, but when a guy is that good at his craft even at a lesser profile spot, you still have to take him.

TD/INT ratio is not good for McCall, it's freaking great! Dude, it's 10:1 for his carrer! Heck, most dudes around here drool over QBs with a 3:1 ratio. If not for the blow out in that Troy game (zero defense from CCU) and him trying to force that last second TD (completely out of character to force a throw), it would be 24:1 this season, but alas, 12:1. Anyway, yes CCU runs a version of the triple option. Here's what I like about it. McCall is extremely good at play action and is athletic enough to keep the ball himself...even has a little wiggle. Not often can a QB juke LBs and DBs, but he can do it. He has 16 rushing TDs in his career. What I don't like about the the offense he ran is he didn't often have to go past his first read. He can and has, but usually the play action gave his first read single coverage and he's good enough to hit that guy unless completely blanketed. I'd like to see how he looks in a an All-Star game in a pro style offense. See how he handles pressure when there's no window dressing to confuse the defense and sit back in shotgun, read the defense and go through his progressions. CCU did some of this in 3rd and long situations and McCall still seemed to play at a high level.

That's one QB not declaring that people have been mocking. I figured he wouldn't after such a mediocre season.
