It’s a knock on not to me. He was awful in that final game as a passer. 

Awful? He was constantly pressured and barely had receivers open. I watched that game too. That was not on hurts. The eagles were just atrocious on offense including the play calling

Ironically, if you look for schools with multiple (more than one) starting QB, current Panther Teddy two gloves is one of them.

Oklahoma - Baker, Hurts, Murray

California - Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff

Louisville - Teddy, Lamar Jackson 

Purdue - Drew Brees, Drew Lock

 

 

Drew Lock went to Missouri.

Two of the last three #2 overall picks went to Oklahoma and they're both looking pretty good. Then they had one go in the 2nd last year and he showed some promise too. Rattler looks to have the makings of a future 1st rounder too. If there's a "QB school" right now it's OU.

One weird thing is that of all 3 of the QBs you just mentioned that are already in the NFL, none of them started at Oklahoma.  All 3 of them transferred in.  Baker from Texas Tech, Kyler from Texas A&M and Jalen from Alabama.

To me the best QB school for a long time was U of Michigan.  For several decades if you went to U of M, you were pretty much going to get drafted and be on an NFL roster.  And on top of that tradition and recruiting niche, they could also boast that one of their QBs was one of the hottest names in football - Tom Brady.  So what do they do with this level of success where top pro style QBs just jump at the chance to attend your school?  They hired Rich Rodriguez who ran off Ryan Mallett and ruined everything.  To this day I consider Rich Rod one of the dumbest hires in college football history.

Now we're going down that slippery slope of attributing TOO much to the QB position. Yes, it's the most important position in football, but if you don't surround that QB with a quality roster you're still going nowhere. Just look at the Houston Texans this year. Watson had over 4800 passing yards with 33 passing TDs vs. 7 INTs as well as another nearly 450 yards and 3 TDs running.

Two ugly losses in their first round playoffs where he was abused as a passer? Copy that!

There's no argument that Jackson's lack of postseason success will continue to be a question until he wins, and there's a good chance Baltimore loses this weekend as well.

But even a guy as great as PeytonManning took a couple of years to learn to win in postseason

Payton Manning also lost his first three playoff games. He had a reputation as a guy who couldn't win "the big game" until he did. I'm not saying that Jackson is Manning, he's not.

Jackson's made the playoffs each year, last year as the number one seed, and has an NFL MVP to his name. I think it's reasonable to say that's working out pretty well.

Will it work out for Lance? I don't even pretend to know.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
