I'd say more like Stroud.    Physically and mechanically.   But between the ears I have no idea

I thought the world of Stroud so that’s a tough comp for me. Lawrence is in that 10-15 range of QB’s in the NFL imo. Has all the tools and you’re always wanting/waiting to see more. That’s kinda where Beck is right now for me.

Some high opinions of Beck here.. Lawrence? Stroud? He’s got Darnold written all over him. Lots of short, underneath passes; stares down receivers, air yardage of only 8.0 yards per pass which is under the national average…

I don’t see it with him.

Georgia will be good because of Etienne and their defense.

I’ve seen some compare him to Eli in excelling from the pocket and playing to his size. I want to see how he handles pressure.

The last 3/4s of 2023 he put on a master class.   If he can do that for a full year he is going #1 like a rocket.   His accuracy was ridiculous

I guess it all depends on your opinion of Lawrence

like I said he’s in that 10-15 range of QB’s for me. Similar tools. Arm, size, can escape and be mobile when needed

Mayfield had ridiculous accuracy in college as well. Beck has a lot to improve on before I change my mind on him.

Sure.  And like I said we have no idea what's between his ears.   Riding around in a 300000 car all things considered gives me pause.   But his tools set is impressive

I think Lawrence makes the jump into the top 10 this year. I really like what Pederson did with him this offseason.

Gave him free rein for the first few weeks of training camp to make whatever throws he wanted so he could see what works and what doesn’t. Then in preseason Lawrence lit it up. He got an idea of what throws he could get away with and what throws he can’t get away with. I think the interceptions come way down this year.

    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
