    Re: QB Watch Thread

    This is who I'm watching in Week 1:
    JT Barrett (2018) - Ohio State v. Indiana
    Josh Rosen (2019) - UCLA v. Texas A&M
    Josh Allen (2019) - Wyoming v. Iowa
    Wilton Speights (2019) - Michigan v. Florida
    Jake Browning (2019) - Washington v. Rutgers
    Will Grier (2020) - West Virginia v. Virginia Tech

    Game of the week is absolutely Josh Allen v. Iowa. Iowa always has a strong defense and they were top 15 last year in points allowed. Should get a good look at how Allen can handle the elevated competition.

    Close second is probably Speights (Michigan) v. Florida, if he was a bigger prospect that game would probably be tops and it has far more draft prospects.

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

    The CFL, maybe.

    Barrett looks meh, but Lagow looks like a legit sleeper prospect. He's throwing to a lot of open WR's but he's making good throws and quick decisions.

    He sure is.

    As to Barrett - meh, too. But his receivers are not getting separation, as the announcers say. but they also don't seem to be coming back to help out Barrett.

    Re: QB Watch Thread

    Looks like their dumb pass-pass-pass that ended up with a FG, and their reluctance to go for 2 after their 1st TD may come back to haunt.

    Meyer & Co. looking bad.

    EDIT:

    Timing is everything, eh?

    Re: QB Watch Thread

    Allen showed the good with the bad yesterday v. Iowa. He had no time for most of the game and made some really baffling decisions. He clearly has a rocket arm but his throwing motion is all arm which is worrisome. He's extremely raw (rawer than Mahomes imo) but he's got a lot of "it" to his game. He thinks he can make every throw and isn't afraid to try. He's also a really good athlete for his size and was able to escape more than a few sacks.

    I like the kid, but his numbers v. Power 5 schools are bad and he needs a big game v. Oregon late this year to show me he's a guy you take as a franchise QB v. a guy you take hoping he grows into a franchise QB.

    He was good, but I'm not sure I'd call him brilliant. His 42 yard TD throw was a horrendous decision.

    So was the one in the front corner of the end zone. Close your eyes and throw up a prayer.

    I'll give him credit for hanging in there, rallying the troops and pulling out the game though.

    No question, huge pluses for his ability to lead and rally his team. A team who doesn't believe in their QB doesn't pull that off last night.

    Re: QB Watch Thread

    In a matchup of two of the biggest Small School QB prospects, Sam Houston State's Jeremiah Briscoe out dueled Richmond's Kyle Lauletta 48-34. Both teams were ranked preseason Top 10 and Briscoe is considered a favorite for the Walter Payton Award (FCS version of Heisman).

    Briscoe - 20 of 37, 411 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT, 3 Carries, 29 Yards, 1 TD
    Lauletta - 36 of 56, 546 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT

    Most small school prospects are undersized which is why they don't get recruited by larger schools, but both of these kids are 6'3 and over 215 lbs.

    True. I worry about college systems vs college systems though too nowadays along with the engineered schedules and small school quality.

    Just an aside, but one of the best football games I ever watched was the 2010 GMAC bowl, Central Michigan (Lefevour) vs. Troy (Levi Brown). I was delighted the Bills grabbed Levi. Of course, it meant nothing in the long run.

    Not saying small school guys can't be developed, sort of makes sense they could be....but the NFL has become so impatient for immediate results, very few teams even have real QB coaches to work with QB's to improve their game. It's become a short term process that makes the pool even smaller. The college game only cares about what works there, and players with potential get chewed up in the middle.

    Re: QB Watch Thread

    Week 2 Games:
    Max Browne (18) and Trace McSorley (19) - Pitt v. Penn State
    Luke Falk (18) v. Billy Rypien (19) - Washington State v. Boise State
    Baker Mayfield (18) v. JT Barrett (18) - Oklahoma v. Ohio State
    Austin Allen (18) v. Kenny Hill (18) - Arkansas v. TCU
    Jarret Stidham (20) v. Kelly Bryant (19) - Auburn v. Clemson
    Brandon Wimbush (20) - Notre Dame v. UGA
    Sam Darnold (20) v. Keller Chryst (19) - USC v. Stanford

    Lots and lots of good games to watch tomorrow, it's hard to pick a top one.

    I think I'd lean USC v. Stanford just because Darnold is the higher prospect, but Auburn v. Clemson and Oklahoma v. Ohio State are right there.

    You want to see a bounce back game from Darnold where he shows good command of the offense and makes good decisions with the football. Stanford's defense is always tough though so it should be a good challenge for him. Both Bryant (Clemson) and Stidham (Auburn) looked good in Week 1 but this is the real test for both guys. Clemson's DL may be the 2nd best in the country behind Ohio State. For the Bucks matchup v. Oklahoma I don't really consider Barrett a legit QB prospect but I want to see how Mayfield handles the Bucks DL pressure.

    Re: QB Watch Thread

    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.
