The way they talk about Malik is the same way they talked about Josh Allen... The question is do you have faith in Sean Ryan and Mcadoo to develop him.. 

He needs technical work and how too's on reading defenses and running a NFL offenses.. But the Raw Clay is elite QB level player...

I thought he's supposed to be completely wild. Like Vick bad accuracy.

Not even close, I’ve seen every single game he’s played at the collegiate level and many of them live.

He has one of the best deep balls in all of college football and can make every NFL throw… his velocity and arm strength is insane. You factor that in with his ground game and his just flat out ridiculous Houdini like plays and it’s easy to see why scouts are high on him.

A lot of his mistakes were due to pressing because of the talent level around him. He had maybe other NFL caliber player to work with on offense (WR-Demario Douglas) and his offensive line was horrid.

His mechanics needs work but I don’t put much stalk into that talk. Those issues can be ironed out.

Overall a lot of the concerns with Malik are the same concerns that people had with Cam. The Josh Allen comparison (not stylistically) is spot on, he’s perceived a certain way by people but in reality he has the tools to be a really good QB.

At times he’s inconsistent but he certainly has the ability to be consistent and put the team on his back. He willed Liberty to wins against teams like Virginia Tech and Coastal Carolina. Bottom line is the guy is a flat out winner. Until this year no one even knew who Liberty was, Willis put them on the map.

Overall, I like what I’m hearing in regards to Willis and Howell (my top 2 guys), they seem to be separating themselves.

Strong seems to be making his way up the board a tad and might be able to compete with Pickett.

Zappe is a meh prospect but he might turn out to be a solid backup.

Ridder’s stock is tanking.

I have:

1A) Willis

1B) Howell

——————

3A) Pickett

3B) Strong

——————

5) Zappe

——————

6) Ridder


Corral fits in somewhere between Howell and Pickett/Strong.

Not that I've seen, mostly just raw footwork in the pocket, wasn't really in a system where he was reading pre-snap, just rolling with the punches. Occasionally doesn't run when he could. As far as making crazy ass Mahommes/Allen/Dangeruss throws he can do that naturally and should only get better at it. This is a long but decent film breakdown. In some portions the dude gives him poo for throwing a bad ball but to me they're mostly dead plays where he throws the ball off the ideal mark but favoring the receiver/away from possible interceptions on purpose. I'll take that over just chucking it into the sidelines where there's zero chance of anything.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
