All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Which college QB is better Pat Mahomes or Davis Webb
Re: Which college QB is better Pat Mahomes or Davis Webb
ok, looked at Mahomes, terrible footwork, but unlike most QBs he has the arm to overcome it; of course he has the problem most QBs have with bad footwork, which is the football is scattershot, sometimes on target sometimes in the stands, he does have consistently the best deep ball of the QBs I've looked at. His offense doesn't ask him to really make any reads, and I don't see him make many. Mostly just throws it to his first read. The ball comes out fast. Gotta say he throws a lot of pro-quality footballs. ok in the pocket, what I liked about him is he LIKES throwing from the pocket, which most spread QBs just don't like doing. If I was in a front office I'd have him rated somewhere around the 3rd round, though considering the dearth of QB prospects in this draft, this kid might end up going in round 2. He reminds me of Brett Farvre, I mean the mechanics are a disaster yet he somehow seems to always have enough arm to get the ball there, still he definately doesn't have Farvre's cannon.
between Mahomes and Webb, Mahomes is a much better prospect. Webb can't even hold Mahomes' jock.
Webb was playing well and starting at Texas Tech and hurt his ankle in 2014, replaced by Mahomes. He then transferred to Cal for his final year in 2016 after Mahomes got hot and remained the starter. Cal needed a QB after Goff went #1 overall.
Mahomes can sling it,has good touch but throws far too many passes off his back foot. That won't fly on Sundays.
Webb looks like he has better mechanics and zips a nice ball in tight windows.
Still, this is NOT a draft where you pick a QB high.

Re: Which college QB is better Pat Mahomes or Davis Webb
I like mahomes as a prospect. He also seems to have an IT factor. I realize they aren't national champs but he looks very confident and gets results in the game or two I saw. Obviously his YouTube highlights look good.
The little i saw on web, he's a dink and dunker. So many quick screens from shot gun. And I didn't think, wow he got the ball out fast. I thought, this offense blows

Would you say both are better prospects than Chad Kelly?
And do they look like better prospects than Cardale coming out of Ohio state?
Re: Which college QB is better Pat Mahomes or Davis Webb
I take Mahomes in the second round without blinking. I probably take him in the first to be honest.
He's in the bonkers "Air Raid Offense" which will inflate his numbers, but what he has I think is going to translate nicely as a pro. Big arm talent, size, speed, pocket awareness, escapability (always looking to pass before he runs)...he's a winner.
Also so he has had no protection at all, due to the nature of the offense/talent of OL and he still did what he did.
