Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

It'll be interesting to see how Caleb handles being in a city like Chicago, if he ends up there. It's obviously not like LA at all, it's such tough sports town where people care. Plus it looks like Fields has won over the fans there. If I were him I'd go back to USC. I'm making great money already and can live in LA another year. I can go back into the draft next year and hopefully land in a better situation.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

I think Bears fans are mixed at best on Fields. The big issue is has he done enough to commit to him long term with a big $$ contract?

There's no way CW should pass up millions and risk getting injured. That's just crazy talk.

Got no problem with CW’s over the top confidence or ego. Dude wants to win. Hope he is there at 2.

And yes if he decides to go back to school he is the dumbest m-fer of all time and I wouldn’t want him. Lol.

Key point in that article, Bryce Young was the consensus no 1 last year. Stroud outplayed him

This happens ALL the time.

Nothing is a sure thing…nothing and def not Caleb Williams who has red flags flying off him.

We know this from recent experience, Chase Young.

Drake, Daniels, shit JJ McCarthy ( who I think is underrated in this process)…or Penix Jr. any one of these guys could be the top QB in the class.

Not sure I trust his analysis that much when he says "...the better arm talent". This is simply not true. Williams has a rocket launcher.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Arm Strength goes to Maye over Williams and Daniels but both of the other guys are deadly throwing off platform.

Maye is accurate on the run and on boots.

Tbh I’m fine with any of those 3

Still prefer J.D. His running ability and downfield ball placement are real nice.

If JD runs the ball he will get JFK’ed because he takes too many hits

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

I'd take either but I agree with Chico, JD will get killed in the NFL if he doesn't get down with his small frame

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

There are alot of running quarterbacks his size that have had plenty of success running.The bottom line is any quarterback can get killed taking off especially if they slide like RG-3.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Anthony Richardson….”he’s just as explosive as Lamar Jackson” was the common thing said.

Concussion week two running the football

Shoulder injury running the football like four weeks later.

Didn’t make it a half season. JD takes more shots in a smaller frame.

In the big boy league, you need to be a passing QB first to be successful.

There is only one Lamar Jax, and he an overrated passer and can’t win in the playoffs. What happened this year in the playoffs again to Lamar? The same ole defense, make him beat you from the pocket and he will lose the game.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Yeah, I don't want a running QB. I don't want to hold my breath every time our QB runs.

2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Daniels uses his legs to set up the pass. Extremely accurate throwing on the run. Would not call him run first. He keeps plays alive and avoids getting crushed in the pocket like say Wentz or Howell for that matter. We improve the blocking in front of him and we don’t have EB throwing 60 times a game. He is a pass first quarterback but he has wheels to keep the play alive. This isn’t RG-3 running the 50 yard dash with his head down and no field vision. Not even close.

A-Rich does not have the accuracy that JD has nor the footwork. He is like an unpolished JD.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

cant wait to see what we do in FA and how it will impact the draft. I would only draft Maye, for many reasons already mentioned about the other 2. Thats IF i was forced to draft a QB at #2. Otherwise im taking ALT and rolling with Howell.

Yes i know, unpopular opinion of the year running consistent haha

Josh Allen is another that takes a shit ton of hits. Bills fans say the same thing... Its only a matter of time before something happens.

Also Lamar had very average Passing stats this yr again... He's a great athlete not a great QB

Punch, I agree with everything you posted about JD above and I'd like to build off of your foundation a bit. Of all the things I like about Jaylen Daniels the things I like the most about him are his ability to learn quickly and to integrate the lessons he has learned into his game as well as the dedication and hard work he put in to improve so much in such a short period of time that he won the Heisman Trophy in his senior year. I think he has just scratched the surface of who he can become as a pro QB. In short, I think he has tremendous upside.

I'm looking forward to the Combine which has served as a watershed for my opinions on quarterback prospects.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

I have no issue with a mobile QB; a guy that can run when he has to, but only does so when its the best option. And he has the brains to look for the pass until there's no option, or spots the right run opportunity. Jackson runs because he doesn't have that passer first brain, Allen runs because he sees the opportunity. Allen's problem is he thinks he's tough enough. It just takes one play... I want a guy like Allen BUT knows how to avoid unnecessary hits.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Statues getting drilled in the pocket is somehow way better than an athletic freak of nature possibly getting hit in the open field. Watch those highlights, J.D. is extremely elusive. I have full confidence in him that he will get used to the speed of the NFL quickly, and adjust his running decisions, as needed. Dude can take it 50 yards to the house. Yeah, I'll take that. McLaurin would do well with him too, as he puts the ball in the perfect spot for the WR to make a play. That's Terry's wheelhouse.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Daniels threw for more yards than Maye too, on almost 100 less attempts. His passing stats are better than Maye in every area. You can be a passing QB and be a great runner when needed. No laws against it.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Agree with all posts above after mine and yeah SD he would make Terry really scary rolling out and chucking the ball IN STRIDE to Terry.

Would be ok with this!! though Robinson will be gone well before 67. He was amazing at the senior bowl and everyone is looking into him. 2 week from now he will be late 1st, early 2nd.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
 

Nice to start my lunch break with a mock draft!
I'm all in for Caleb or Jayden. A mobile QB is a cheat code in today's game and you just can't hit QBs anymore so they don't take the abuse they used to.

I'm unusually optimistic today so I'll say this, if the the Commies would've won one more game, we would've been out of the top 5 and probably not in position to get Maye or Daniels. I would've been happy if any of the top 3 QBs dropped to us in that position.

I'm glad we have professionals running the team!

Caleb is already making millions and can make more by going back to USC. If I were him I would not go to Chicago under any circumstances. The ownership there can't seem to get things right and they've never developed a QB. Their coach will be fired, the situation there will be a mess.

No man, you got it all wrong Jamf. You can't go by the name. You go down to pre race and watch the horses. If you see one take a 10lb dump followed up by about a 3 gallon piss (it has to be in that order). You bet every cent you got on that baby. :pimp:

I almost fucked around and didn't post a mock today, my bad Jamf. I know you can't get your Friday night glitty party started until you see a SD mock lol.

And I can do what I want and draft Jayden Daniels at No. 2 in 99% of my drafts, but that is boring af. Gonna get an undefeated QB instead.

Sam Howell can't cover every hour at JiffyLube so I got him a co-assistant manager.
