I recorded the Clemson/Louisville game because I was interested in seeing Lamar Jackson play, but I came away a lot more impressed with Clemson's qb.

Luke Falk. 37/49 396 yards 6 TDs.
Had a bad week last week, but rebounded nicely against a poor Oregon State squad. Have to see how he does against real competition, even though DB isn't a fan of him.
I'm a fan of Darnold. This year will be interesting though, because last year his offense had a ton of experience. Not as much this year, and it showed against Texas because the OL struggled to protect him.
To me, the idea of the elite QB is dying. It was Manning/Brady for a while. Who is succeeding them? Rodgers is the closest I've seen. Everyone else is just good to very good. Darnold would be one of those, in my book, and he does seem to have the elusive "it" factor.

I'm not saying he's perfect. His throwing motion is a little long and his footwork is sloppy at times. He throws from a lot of different arm angles but he is pretty accurate. He can work on those things and he will with NFL coaching . What he does have is poise, a calmness when the pressure is at it's greatest, the big stage and bright lights don't bother him, he doesn't shrink in the moment, he rises and his teammates believe in him. Clutch. The "it" . Few have it.

Couple of updates:
Rudolph had a mediocre day and his team lost. 2 TD 2 INT. I'm good with this, hopefully it keeps him off the middle of the radar scope for the teams crappier than us this season.
Here's a thought on him by a scout.

Mayfield- Another great day 3 TD 0 INT games not over but looks like a win
Darnold- ok day 2 TD 1 INT and a win
Shortly on Tv
Josh Rosen on ESPN
Josh Allen ESPN2 (for anyone still riding his bandwagon)
Luke Falk threw for his usual 400 plus yards (5 TD)
WTF numbers, I can't get past the system and his noodly looking arm. But what do I know...dude loves him some Tom Brady, maybe he'll become the next.
An FYI
I just discovered the Fox Sports GO app
Never heard of it before, it's letting me watch a couple of out of market games.
Jake Browning of the Huskies is up next
Woodside with a huge day.
COMING SOON...

Whether or not his ability will translate to the pro game remains to be seen but he's a guy worth taking a chance on outside of the first round.
I think he's got plenty of arm. He's no Jeff George for sure but he has more than enough for the NFL.
I like several things about him, he has risen to the occasion against good teams with lots of future pro talent on them, he is very elusive and accurate on the run, he's fiery, looks like a leader, makes smart decisions, can run a little but always looks to throw first. He's a winner, he has "it".
What I don't like, he's a little short (but so are Drew Brees and a Russell Wilson Dak Prescott?) and he's a little too cocky at times...he MUST tone that down.
If draft were today my draft board for QB would have Rudolph, Darnold, Mayfield in that order.
Here's a highlight reel of Mayfield BTW...a few 40-50 yard (in the air) throws he didn't have trouble making.
