I'm on the Daniels train until I get off at the next Maye stop.

Daniels needs to live in the weight room. He's doesn't even look like he's 200 lbs.

Yeah, he could definitely stand to put on 15-20 lbs. But he has been pretty damn durable so far.

Let's say Caleb or Maye played for Wash last night. Would they have fared any better? C'mon guys be smarter. Any QB that is under that kind of pressure is not going to have a good game. Mich's defense was flat out balling last night and that made Penix about as uncomfortable as I have seen him. The pressure got to him, just like it does w/ the greats in the NFL like Mahomes.

W/ that being said it's all about the overall body of work, not one game against a superior opponent.

And it's not like Caleb or Maye or Daniels didn't have bad games along the way. Look at Caleb's numbers against top defenses. He's not even a 60% passer. The QB's are not going to play well if the guys around them don't. The QB is the most dependent guy on the field.

could you imagine if Caleb had to play Michigan's defense last night? He would have asked his mom to come down on the sidelines and coddle him and hold his hand. Then after the game he perhaps would have got his nails done.

I won't be mad if he falls to us. I'll cheer him on cause he will play for my favorite team. But the vibe I get is a little Kyler Murray, a little RG3 and I don't want that.

Yup.

I thought last night, it was a bigger condemnation on JJ McCarthy than Penix.

JJ isn’t even a second round pick

Penix, IMO, is a second day pick. I wouldn't use a first round pick on him. Two knee/leg injuries in college and he's also likely hit his ceiling or very close to hitting it at his age.

Agree, I thnk the Injuries are the biggest concern. Dude was hurt last night too

[skinsfaninok]

Was listening to Sirius XM NFL and they compared Maye to Drew Bledsoe / Herbert type.

Caleb to Kyler Murray / Mahomes

Daniels to RG3 (I Don't see that one)

White QB, find a white comparison

Black QB, find a black comparison

LOL, so lazy.

Besides the fact Daniels can run, he is nothing like RG3 imo. Caleb can't be like Murray and Mahomes altogether, those are 2 completely different QB's.

Lol. So true.

For me it is
Maye
Daniels/Williams











Penix

[skinsfan69]

Can someone tell me what Maye has done to get all this draft praise? I watched a bit of the Clemson game and he didn't even look like a first rounder at all. He didn't look as good as the other guys. He struggled the entire game. Looked lost. Looked like Tribusky.

He's similar to Howell in regards to how he looked better his 2nd to last year compared to his last year. His numbers were better in 2022.

UNC was a mediocre team. If you watch his highlights, that's how you know if you like him or not (as a casual fan like us, not a scout/GM), unless you're a UNC fan and watched all of this games. He has all of the tools.



Drafting QB's isn't easy. Look at Allen's stats at his last year at Wyoming. They looked like high school numbers.

QB's, all in the eye of the beholder in the 1st round. We all have our favorites, and have no clue if they will actually be good or not.

So I am a UNC fan, watched all his games and Howell's. I thought there was an outside chance that Howell "could" become a really good NFL QB, but I wouldn't have bet on it. With Maye, I would bet on it. From his first start, you could just tell he had that "it" factor. So he started 2 years, and had 2 completely different OC's and offenses. Last year he had Josh Downs too(starting for the Colts this season) and would he break away, Maye would hit him...pretty much every time. They had a much better run game last season as well...but a bad Oline both years, and the main reason he looked rough against Clemson in my opinion. My comp for him is Justin Herbert. He's got the size, the arm, the brain, and he does not get rattled...and he will take off and run too. Also been very durable...did not miss a game.
