  1. I aint going to lie but the throws at that minute mark are pretty damn impressive. He had throws to wr's, running backs and te. He certainly trusts his arm 219 6 725 910
  2. It’s the only feasible option. I keep seeing this vet qb signing hot take and my question is who? Who are we getting and why would we sign another vet to a multi year deal? Wtf is the point of that. Roll with darnold come hell or high water.
  3. If we trade down how do we know the team trading to our spot isnt getting a qb? That would be insanity to trade back with that plan and then all of the talent is gone
  4. but if the kicker had any sense at all wouldnt he be like "hold up, you want me to do what now? "
  5. Shouldn’t the kicker ask the question under those circumstances?
  6. Oline picks in the top 10ish are far less likely to bust. I already did a post on this detailing it.
  7. That is literally the knock on him. He is incredibly uncomfortable under duress. I just posted 3 different scouts takes saying that. You guys want him behind this line?
  8. That’s awesome to see a mod trolling on here. Simply awesome. But please by all means tell me how I need to back off lol.
  9. From the Athletic, this scares the poo out of me from him along with his size. He gets really uncomfortable in the pocket under duress. Can you coach that out of him? I dont know but its a huge concern as of right now: Chris Burke: As you said, there are quite a few things to like – he’s got the arm to challenge all over the field, he’s dangerous with his feet, he’s tough. It’s strange, though, because I’ve come out of his film cut-ups wanting him both to speed things up and slow things down, if that makes any sense. I’ll try to explain further, in case it doesn’t: His initial instinct on a lot of plays is to get out of the pocket and run, so an NFL coaching staff will need to get him to stick with his progressions longer. But, flip side, when he does hang in the pocket, it tends to get belabored. If you compare his footwork to that of, say, Matt Corral, everything happens a lot quicker with Corral. So, I’m curious to see how he looks next week. Can he keep progressing as a passer? What do you think so far? Baumgardner: His scrambling makes me nervous and his apparent instinct to bail early up the field – and not to find another space in the pocket to make a throw – also makes me nervous. I think he sees the field better than some give him credit for. Some of the offense he played in at North Carolina plays into that, as he ran a ton of RPOs and was asked to make a bunch of run reads that were tagged with pass concepts. So, he can process – it’s just a little bit different. But … he is not comfortable in the pocket. That’s what I keep coming away with and I’m super curious to see if that, in 2021, was the result of a guy trying to do everything for a flawed team – or just something he has to overcome as a player. I like his courage. I like his arm. All the good parts about Baker Mayfield are in there. A lot of the bad is, too. The inconsistency and lack of improv skills in the pocket from a passing sense are two things I have a hard time shaking. But I still think he’s talented. Can you tame a guy like this? That’s kind of what it feels like, right? Can you break some bad habits and get him into a good spot? Burke: You’re gonna hear that Mayfield comparison a lot, and it’s because Howell legitimately looks like Mayfield in the pocket. The movements, the decision-making – it’s all familiar. I’m glad you brought up the lack of improv skills, though. I pulled out this play from North Carolina’s game against Notre Dame in 2020 to touch on that point … The first one in that video got called back by a hold, but ignore that. The bigger point is that it’s hard to find plays like this, in which Howell makes something happen out of structure with his arm. He’s usually off and running by this point, so – as you said – can you dial that back and teach him to be more patient? The second play is what you want to see: Letting the pocket protect him, scanning through his options, delivering a strike for a big play. Baumgardner: He’s a tricky one for me and I think the more I watch the more I land on the fact he needs to go somewhere with time. The Lions have time to offer. If they draft a quarterback this year (they don’t have to), that guy doesn’t have to start next season. Maybe even the year after, who knows. So from that standpoint, I like it – because I think, yes, in time you can adjust some of those instincts (because they come from a good place) to make that throw you just clipped far more regular than some of the bail-out runs we see where he wants to put a shoulder throw a 250-pound linebacker. How much do I like it? That’s the ultimate question. Right now, there’s no way he’s in the conversation at No. 2 and I’m not sure where others slot him. Specifically with Detroit: Do you see a fit there? Burke: No, not at 2. That said, I do think they could make Howell work with this offense, because he’s done a ton off RPOs and the pocket can roll wherever you’d want it to roll. Big week coming for him.
  10. Pocket presence is one of the biggest concerns with Howell. Far too often, he’ll put his head down and run instead of keeping his eyes downfield. Howell’s footwork is also shaky at times and makes it harder for him to maneuver the pocket. Growth in this area will be essential to Howell’s NFL success. Theres more evaluations but this was literally the first one to come up. Its a knock on him getting jittery in the pocket https://nflmocks.com/2022/01/25/sam-howell-qb-north-carolina-2022-nfl-draft-scouting-report/
  11. Thats a huge negative for Howell. He gets jumpy in the pocket under pressure and doesnt step up and simply leaves
  12. 1000% Build the line draft a qb. Its a plan. If Darnold is the starter and Walker is the backup then its locked in stone that we will have a top 5 pick.
  13. I doubt it, his tape is his tape and its not good. I doubt the interview is going to push him into the top 10 especially over Neal, cross or Ikem. Thats just crazy fuging talk
  14. Wait, you have Willis and pickett ranked over Neal, cross and Ikem? That cannot be right
  15. https://www.nfl.com/news/bucky-brooks-2022-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-kenny-pickett-matt-corral-only-qbs-selected worst case scenario
  16. Its pretty apparent to me after reading all of the "trade back" folk's post that they dont comprehend the tru value of having a pick this high in the draft. Its gold. Its a chance to get an elite elite player if we dont fug it up (which we most certainly will do)
