Hendon Hooker

Opinions on why or why not Hendon Hooker in the 3rd rd or later? 58tds to 5ints in 2 seasons with Tennessee. Guy was very impressive until the injury. If we pick up a veteran QB for one season, and let Corrall and Hooker develop, will we not be in great shape? I am surprised  personally that more people aren’t talking about Hooker. What’s your take?

Nah, when I watched him play it was painfully bad looking through an NFL QB lens. His throws are all over the place, he’s the definition of one read and run.  Really good college QB, I don’t see him succeeding in the NFL at all.  Maybe he could learn literally everything there is to being a QB, but the odds aren’t great.

i wanted to be excited about him as a prospect. but as the season went on and then when he got hurt.... sorry, not excited. there's probably at least 6 QBs from this draft i would rather have. he's someone i would maybe take a flyer on very late if we got someone like Derek Carr

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
