He has good film, but I still don't understand the hype about him. For chrissake he's being talked about as high as #3 overall to the 49ers. I've never been impressed with him. To me he seems like just a smart quarterback with a limited ceiling.
You could be right.
It's the hardest position to draft for. Toughest part is drafting a QB that is the right "fit". Taking the best QB available and forcing him into a shit scheme with a poor coaching staff is never going to turn a bad franchise around. There's just too many factors that have to work together cohesively to give a QB the fighting chance he needs. Most teams searching for their franchise QB often try to do so with a new offensive-minded coach in place. But its still a crapshoot, mostly because teams fail to build a good enough OL and rather focus on surrounding the QB with playmaker talent at skill positions.
Well said man.
I'd be over the moon with a draft like that.
Yeah well. I've done like a dozen more and I can't repeat it. Appears I've shot my shot haha.
I wouldn't pay that much for his 2nd chance. Especially that plus what his 5th year option costs, 18.8 Million.
Nice. I remember liking him once upon a time... Would be great for depth.
Meh... I'm ok passing on that. A little richer than what I was thinking.
If Ben gets hurt this year, then they lose more games, and get in a position to draft a top QB next year.
Agreed. Mason and/or Haskins gives them a better chance at a higher draft pick in that scenario.
I think it looks about right. It's not so cheap that you are shaking fists at empty skies and wishing your team made that move.
I'm with you. I have no idea. I don't really start looking at that class until the season is under way.
I watched some highlights of an Oklahoma game last year and I remember thinkin that Rattler kid had a high ceiling. Another Lincoln Riley disciple with a similar talent ceiling of Kyler Murray. He's a much better out-of-structure performer though. Kid is excellent on the move and performs really well under pressure. He should translate really well into the NFL, and will more than likely be a top 5-10 pick.
Right now Howell and Slovis.
