QB Watch Thread

[k-oneputt]

Jackson has definitely improved throwing the ball from last year. He also has filled out his body and gotten bigger. If he doesn't make it at qb he would be a hell of a wr.

[k-oneputt]

To me Darnold is the clear top qb right now. He looked good last night.
I wasn't impressed with Falk at all. Don't like his arm or physical makeup. I don't see it with him, at least so far. With Allen you can see all the traits last week even though he didn't play well. You can see the upside with Allen at least.

Max Browne (18) - 19 of 32, 138 yards, 2 INT
Trace McSorley (19) - 15 of 28, 164 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT
Luke Falk (18) - 24 of 34, 193 yards, 1 INT
Billy Rypien (19) - 7 or 8, 76 yards
Baker Mayfield (18) - 27 of 35, 386 yards, 3 TD
JT Barrett (18) - 19 of 35, 183 yards, 1 INT, 18 rushes, 66 yards
Austin Allen (18) - 9 of 23, 138 yards, 1 TD
Kenny Hill (18) - 21 of 31, 166 yards, 1 INT
Jarret Stidham (20) - 13 of 24, 79 yards
Kelly Bryant (19) - 19 of 29, 181 yards, 19 rushes, 59 yards, 2 TD
Brandon Wimbush (20) - 19 of 39, 211 yards, 16 carries, 1 yard
Sam Darnold (20) - 21 of 26, 316 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT
Keller Chryst (19) - 15 of 28, 172 yards, 2 TD

Darnold had by far the best day and he did so against one of the top defenses in the country. His 2 INT's are worrisome because it's showing a trend. He threw 9 last year and 4 already this year. He needs to make better decisions with the football.

I may stand alone but Lamar Jackson has improved his pocket passing ability a ton, in addition to his obvious athletic ability. Profiling him as a black athlete playing QB no longer works.

His only downfall these days is trying to do too much early in games when his D gives up an early score. Coaching can solve that but he does settle down. That strike where he avoids the North Carolina rush and then flicks the ball effortlessly to hit his WR perfectly in stride is outstanding. Many great throws from the pocket.

He's in the early lead for the Heisman again.

Jackson will definitely be on the watch list this week as the Cardinals take on Clemson.

I love my Buckeyes but Barrett has Graduate Assistant written all over him.

The CFL, maybe.

There has been many great college QB's that failed miserly up here, someone like him will not even get a shot.

Going to be a fun one to watch. I like Ferguson, but I want to see him v. Power 5 defense. UCLA will be a good test and if he shreds them his buzz will grow exponentially.

Josh Allen struggling again with a Power 5 defense.

[DraftBoy]

Darnold having another rough night. 6 INT's in 3 games, almost all coming from bad mechanics and footwork.

[YardRat]

This Ehrlinger kid for Texas looks pretty good.

Nice drive to tie up the game.

[k-oneputt]

Wow Darnold just brought them downfield for game tying field goal at the buzzer. Overtime coming. I love this kid. To bad he will probably end up on the Jets.

[k-oneputt]

And he throws a dart on the first play.

Would say the buzz has started?

Baker Mayfield with the 2nd best completion % in the country so far. And is listed at #3 in yards per attempt. Stats can't get much better than that.

The kid has moxie and plenty of skill but he's got a lot more mechanical flaws then I first realized. He really struggles with a clean pocket and seems to have more mechanical issues then I thought. Right now I'd put him as QB2 behind Rudolph.

Yes, Ferguson though will always have to overcome his system and mechanics. I see him as late day 2 guy with high upside.

It's going to be interesting see if Mayfield can get the Russell Wilson tag or not.

I'll settle for him. He ignites an offense and plays with such passion.

At this point, I'm not considering or willing to settle for anybody. The Bills focus should be on their #1 rated QB no matter what.

Last year in limited viewing I thought he was Fitzpatrick with more arm. Still seems like a decent summary of his game. (also not necessarily a bad one)

I've never watched his games and felt like he'd be the ideal NFL QB... but I have to take more notice now perhaps
