All I'm gonna say is that I don't buy this recent talk of Daniels over Maye. I like Daniels. I think he's a helluva prospect. But Maye is gonna go to Washington.

Out there take? Vikings trade for Howell.

UNC QB's aren't going to get the benefit of the doubt. I see a lot of people doubting him just because he's a UNC QB.

 

That narrative won't change until these guys become elite at the pro level.

 

Like the Ohio State QB's. Stroud finally put a end to that nonsense about Ohio State QB's struggle at the next level.

My gut tells me the same thing.  However, I read somewhere that they wanted the dual threat QB and it stuck.  If I were GM, I draft Maye.  I think Caleb is running away with the #1 overall.

Personally, I do not want NE to get Maye.  Nobody deserves the fortune they have had.  Reminds me of Manning and Luck in Indy.

Me responding to Me:

I also think Howell could be decent in the right system. 

I hope that Tampa Bay gives Baker a 4-year, 130m deal.

He'll get a shot somewhere. Too many teams need a QB and there aren't enough to go around. Lots of young QBs have turnover issues playing for bad teams. Howell showed more talent and ability than a lot of starters last year.

This is the year the NFC gets infused with the QB talent.  My thoughts right now:

1 - Bears - Caleb Williams 

2 - WAS - Jayden Daniels - Gut says teams like him more than Maye, most importantly, WAS does.

3 - NYG (from NE) - Drake Maye - They drop a Dookie for Tarheel.  I think they trade up w/NE, as they've given up on Jones.  Daboll is in his 3rd year - time to make a move, they can't afford to keep sinking.  They're one of a few teams needing to sh*t or get off the pot in their situation. 

5 - MIN (from LAC) - JJ McCarthy (w/Wilson) - They can't have Jefferson sitting there with another middling guy at QB.  They need to pickup with the timeline and O'Connell can't let his seat start to get hot, similar to Daboll.  They wanted a QB early last year.  They're going to be aggressive and honestly, get the best type of insurance in Wilson.  

2nd-3rd - PIT - Pickett (+Tannehill or a Michael Pratt type pick) - These are the QBs I put in the Steelers orbit this year.  I don't think they give up on Pickett, as bad as he's looked under that putrid Matt Canada offense.  I see them as a 2025 QB team with a final roll of the dice situation this year.

Late 1st-2nd - NE - Michael Penix (Maybe add Howell as well) - I just don't see them winning the Fields/Cousins sweeps and also don't see them doing the flashy top of draft franchise QB route.  They trade down to build out their team, including a second tier type in Penix.  

FA - ATL - Kirk Cousins - I see this as a good fit and there's some rumors picking up.  They are the most "insert vet here" team ready for Cousins.  Allows them to use their first on someone like Jared Verse.

FA - Raiders - Justin Fields - This has to be the team going for him w/Baker staying in TB.  I also have a feeling the Raiders are going to be an entertaining see-saw type team next year with Pierce.  Perfect situation for an up and down guy like Fields. 

*Broncos stick with Stidham for 2024, could draft a guy late like Rattler or Travis.

I'm high on Sanders but I am really intrigued by Riley Leonard at ND.  He has a chance to really climb up draft boards.  Some scouts are trying to hype up Weigman at A&M (not sure about that one) and Beck at UGA is interesting....

I'm not too high on next year's QB class but next season hasn't happened yet either. I doubt anyone would've predicted say Joe Burrow exploding and having one of the best seasons in college football history winning the Heisman and ultimately going #1 overall. A lot can change between now and next April.

I remember when people were thinking a Carson Strong/Matt Carrol/Sam Howell 1st round crop was looking promising …and the only guy that wound up in the first wasn’t on radars (Pickett). Amazing what one year can do.

Re: Maye - He has some accuracy issues on his medium length throws and some poor decision making under pressure. Nothing that can’t be corrected but I just think the potential of Daniels could override Maye in some (not all) teams’ eyes. Could easily be #2 to WAS and would be #1 overall in other drafts

Shedeur is very very good. I would love to draft him. Leonard is very athletic but reminds me of another Duke product in Danny Jones.

Sanders is currently the top. That’s why it’s important to see how Leonard does at ND. The school thing also doesn’t hold much neigh anymore. See CJ Stroud and OSU.

I honestly don't think there's any real traction to this Daniels > Maye talk and I'm still stunned the Steelers were dumb enough to fall for Pickett.

I agree--Maye was a bit generous with the picks and Daniels sorta came out of the blue with a dual threat qb.  I would take Maye over Daniels--but reading some love for Daniels from Washington.  To me, Daniels is a notch better than Anthony Richardson and he seemed to gain steam closer to the draft.  I think Lamar Jackson has something to do with that, but I dunno.

Daniels developed some really good pocket awareness in 2022 from what I saw.  He's a lot more refined than others he compares to coming out.  I was keeping my eye on him last draft season along with Cam Ward and Michael Penix.  None ended up going into the draft but Daniels was the one of those guys who really stepped his game up.  He's come a long way in his college career.

Which means that 4-5 surprises will screw it up so badly I have to create a new account to avoid all the Nostre Damus hindsight psychics on here.  Maybe something like Dragon Fire.

I fully know predicting draft picks is near impossible after the first couple picks. 

Plus you are right ONE QB can cause a domino effect that changes every teams plans. 

But still you got some great guesses.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
