Big Blue Huddle

For those who believe Daniel Jones isn't or may not be the long-term answer at QB

Beck interests me. I'll be watching him closely this year. 6'4" is a good height, and 215 is a respectable build for just a 21 year old. If he has yet to show optimal processing speed and accuracy, 9.5 YPA last year with only six picks last year is pretty darn good. That YPA is better than what either Caleb Williams or Drake Maye did last season, and the SEC is a way tougher defensive conference than either the Pac-12 or the ACC. Not even close.

Definitely a guy to watch this year.

I also will check out Beck a lot (helps Dawgs are on the tube always)...but also Dart from Ole Miss and Milroe,a Daniels-type leap candidate. Big SEC fan.

I haven't been too impressed with Milroe from what I have seen, but I agree he's a candidate to be a guy who could take a leap. These highly drafted Bama QBs have been disappointing of late though (Mac Jones, Bryce Young). I guess Tua has been decent.

Dart is interesting... we shall see.

6 is it? But then 50/50 will make it 3 and more suitable for a Cyclops, I would imagine 

Cheers!

Keep an eye on Garrett Nussmeier of LSU. If the name sounds familiar he's the son of Eagles quarterback coach Doug Nussmeier. He's had his path blocked by Daniels but in limited reps he's been really good. I expect him to have a huge year this year.

Another guy to keep an eye on is Connor Weigman out of Texas A&M. He's got all the tools but missed most of last season to injury. He's another dude that is primed for a massive season. I like both of those guys than two of the players that made the list.

Dart and Noah Fifita in Arizona intrigue me a lot. Dart had the best Wr duo, TE1, and RB1 in the country before Judkins transferred, but he's got the best back shoulder in college football and loves to hit ppl when running.

Milroe interests me a lot because while he may have great physicals, he is now going into a completely offensive scheme with the new Alabama head coach.  How he adjusts, learns and grasps it will say a lot about his mental makeup.

Very valid point.

Considering QBs have to do this a lot in the NFL, it's definitely an interesting test for him.

I also have to think that being in your 2nd or 3rd year with the same HC, OC or QB coach must mean a lot in terms of understanding each other and having established a relationship.  He'll be in year 1 also of that so a lot for him to develop that's outside of his physicals.

Wegmann did get kayoed and took a beating before then. Plus, he has a strange throwing motion and accuracy issues. But...he has moxie, athleticism and toughness. Worth seeing too how he develops. Nussmeier is another guy that  deserves a look.

Bernie Kosar and Phillip Rivers are examples of two guys with unusual throwing motions that had great careers.
