Quote from: StompYouOT on November 27, 2023, 08:59:48 PMWhy doesn't anyone talk about Penix??  Has a great arm.  If we do fall a bit that might be ok since maybe we can snag Penix or McCarthy with our second pick, even if it means trading back up.  Could get a great piece on either line with the first pick then.

I don't want any part of Williams, never take a quarterback from USC.  Daniels is exciting but heard he's in an oversimplified offense??  Idk.  I still think we end up picking somewhere decent looking ahead at our schedule.  Honestly the teams ahead of us are worse than us and should be drafting there anyway.

He's also a lefty, and currently his blindside tackle is Evan Neal. Basically need two picks compared to a righty QB

Quote from: Uni on November 27, 2023, 02:21:32 PMMaybe you don't want all the other teams know you're desperate for a QB in the draft.

lol exactly. Why would he say Jones isn't out starter. You gain nothing saying that and lose everything

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 27, 2023, 06:58:42 PMI see that Banks has a 48.5 PFF grade for the season. That seems way low to me. Can anyone with an account explain that breakdown?

Please, can we spare the "PFF is a joke" and "the PFF graders don't know what they're doing" posts for this thread. I know many people think that, and they may or may not be right. That is not the point of the thread. All I'm curious about is how this player's breakdown gets him to that total grade. Where are they saying his game has been bad? A sub-50 grade seems incredibly low for what he has done on the field.

To put it into perspective, Neal is rated 9 points lower than Banks I believe. Neal may be the worst player in the league, so no clue how they got there with Banks. I tend to ignore pff grades. Used to try to find a gambling edge with them, but they seem useless.

Are we convinced Washington isn't taking a QB? Sam Howell can throw for yards but he's pretty abysmal as a whole.

Quote from: madbadger on November 27, 2023, 11:33:01 AMBe consistent and apply that same set of standards to Daniels who sucked at ASU. FWIW neither Nix or Penix are one year wonders. Both had really good years last year.

Agreed, and that's the one hesitancy I have with Daniels. I do however tend to hold my weight in QBs going against SEC defenses than PAC 12. I know he also has Nabers and Thomas, but Burrow had Chase and Jefferson, so it can translate. Obviously case by case of course.

Sure but he was trash for 3 years at Auburn. I don't feel good about a 5th year guy finally breaking out in the PAC where it's tough to find a successful NFL QB. Same with Penix, was trash at Indiana before transferring to a PAC 12 that has like 4 defenses in the top 60 in regards to YPG.

Do we think Daniels can slide to the #6 spot? I know we still have games left but WASH right ahead of us, and I can see them moving on from Howell. Really don't want to have to trade up and waste capital. 

Quote from: TDToomer on November 26, 2023, 05:30:57 PMMaybe you have a gambling problem.

No, he just fucking sucks lol

Quote from: coggs on November 26, 2023, 05:11:42 PMAre you serious with this?  DeVito is terrible.

???

Ugh I've lost too much money betting on Bo Nix over his 1000 year college career, don't do it Joe!!

Dabes just gave Wink the game ball also FYI.

Quote from: killarich on November 26, 2023, 04:36:25 PMWhat was asked? What did he say ?

Reporter said what do you make of the reports about tension between you and Wink. Dabes said the only thing we ever argue about is who gets the last slice of pizza lol.

This is an obvious stretch but Tommy Devito just did what rookie QBs can never do in beating BB. Wasn't the prettiest, but great QB rating for him.

My question is, if Tommy continues to play well and we get a few more W's and he improves every game, is there a point that you think hey, this guy can be a Brock Purdy if we put him in the right system?

And that "right" system probably wound't be designed by Kafka. The kid throws a nice accurate long ball, can we get that designed to happen more often please.

Dabes just addressed it postgame. It's fake

I think that's just the media creating narratives. Clickbait stuff
