LMAO Cody Kessler just as good as Wentz. Paxton Lynch > Jared Goff. 

 This is why teams do interviews. Kinda hard to judge a player when you don't know their work ethic and habits. Lynch could have been something very different but like the sources from the organization says he was just lazy.

Kyler wins Heisman as expected. Amazing year.

Best QB in College. Carried a horrid Oklahoma defense to the playoffs, while having the most efficient season for a QB, plus messing around and getting 800 yards on the ground. I was worried they'd be bias and give it to Tua. Glad to see they came to their sense.

It was Tua’s until that horrid Georgia game.

Pretty sure I remember people saying the same about Wentz and Trubisky.  Granted Trubiskey is more of a wild card still, but Wentz hasn't exactly lit it up this year.

That's always the thing with high pick QBs though.  If you're right and you get a long-term franchise stabilizing quarterback out the other end...there's really no such thing as drafting them too high.  But if you're wrong...it's gonna be a catastrophe, set your franchise back 3-4 years+, and almost certainly going to cost you your job.

It's what leads to the QB draft market being so crazy and distorted pretty much every year.  It's what pushes a lot of guys way up the board, way higher than it probably should.  It's a high stakes game, and due to the nature of the QB position, it tends to be a very black and white outcome.  It's not like an OLineman where "serviceable starter" can still be good enough to contribute, or DE where "rotational pass rush specialist" can still hold value for you.  There's no "rotational QB".  That just means your QB situation is a disaster and you're in the market for a better one.

Has to be easily the most stressful make or break decision to make as a GM, when your livelihood is actually on the line.  But it's not a decision you can just defer or avoid.  When it comes to QB...if you need one, you need one.

Just watched my first real game tape of the year: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri at Florida (W 38-17). Just watched to look at mechanics and accuracy more than progressions and scheme, etc. My takeaways (just from the one game, will continue with 2-3 more games of Lock - probably Memphis, Alabama, Georgia - later):

Pros

- Consistently high velocity; throws a tight spiral

- Release is consistently quick

- Adapts arm slot to pressure

- Drives the ball well deep

- Athletic and comfortable runner

Cons

- Inconsistent footwork; doesn't always follow through or throw off proper platform

- Release sometimes is a little quirky in ending; arm can lag behind

- Troubling accuracy (38% good/perfect, 34% mediocre, 28% bad); intermediate accuracy is very mediocre

I haven't seen Lock play much at all yet, but this sounded like Tony Romo to me.

Romo was very accurate and his ball velocity wasn't elite class. Only his release.

Although I disagree with his assessment that Lock is an athletic runner. I have not seen that in any of his film. He can buy some 2nd chances but in terms of athletic runner for his size, I am thinking minimum requirement would be someone like Dak Prescott.

Man, that is nothing. Take a look at this one where I wipe the mat with the clowns that thought Winston was an NFL QB.
