Big Blue Huddle

Bobby Slowick, OC for the Texans, will be a real hot name once they are eliminated. Texans offense is a rookie and a bunch of unproven player this year. Now Collins is a number 1. Singletary looks legit. Tank Dell was a stud rookie and obviously stroud had a great year.

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 11, 2024, 11:06:27 AMPhil couldn't make the latest episode of the Complete Simms podcast.  He did give notes to his son and he did address your "wonder".   After seeing Pennix throw for over 9000 yards the last two seasons, he wasn't going to change his views after one game against the best team he had ever faced.  That said, Simms did list a few issues (you can hear on the podcast) Pennix has that will be problems in the NFL if he doesn't clean them up.

I think those problems have been consistent with his career. His footwork and mechanics are terrible.

His arm is very strong and he does make some nice throws but some of those you won't get away with at the NFL level.

You definitely got me! haha

Quote from: uconnjack8 on January 09, 2024, 04:28:07 PMThe PAC 12 certainly is loaded with good defenses

I am not trying to be funny, but is this a misprint?

This is a football board. Who cares what these two idiots say to each other. It's not interesting and wasn't this already discussed and brought up by the OP?

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 09, 2024, 11:19:43 AMI doubt it; Simms said his impression was based on what he saw from Pennix all season, not just the playoff game.  I doubt a single game will sway his views signficantly

Trust me - Penix deficiencies have been noticeable all year. He throws a great deep ball but struggles in many areas.

People are wow'd by the big plays and tend to forget the simple ones that are missed.

Wonder if Phil wants to turn back time and say something different.

Been telling you guys time after time. Be wary of Pac-12 QBs. They dont face any defense there.

Plus with Penix - I have said his flaws are very obvious that he cant get away with in the pros.

- not mobile
- iaccurate on intermediate routes
poor footwork
- poor mechanics.

As far McCarthy - he needs to stay and find another school where they will let him air it out. He gets few opportunities during games that every mistake is magnified. He was MUCH better than Penix last night. He is better than Jones cause he is better athlete and has a much better arm. Its a shame their OC has no clue how to call a game.

I think Jones, Lawrence, and fields all stink.

I dont want any of them.

Ascending to what? Medicority?

2025 class right now looks really weak compared to this years class. There isnt really a great Sophomore. And the ones who returned probably would have ranged from 7-12 in this years class.

Of course you don't. What does winning do other than give you a worse draft spot? We can't even screw the eagles by beating them.

Penix footwork for a 6th year college QB is horrible.

Buyer beware.

6th year player playing with one of the Best OLs in the nation and the best WR corps in the nation. Injury prone with limited mobility. And the best thrower ever? Holy good god. Not even close.

Rodgers is an idiot
Kimmel is an idiot

I could care less about these two. More reasons why people should ignore celebrities and athletes when they talk. Most of them are highly uneducated.
