QB Impressions - Page 59

First glances at several QBs we're going to give a shit about over the next four months. Feel free to set me straight.

DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame
6'4", 230 lbs
26-9 TD-INT, 59%, 2925 passing yards

I get a Cutlerian vibe from this guy. Seems to be built like a franchise QB. Powerful arm, some beautiful passes, perfect bodytype. But he is lacking an "it" factor, is he not? He's not a world-beating, overcome-the-odds, particularly spiriting QB. Looks like he could have an okay career in the NFL in which he wins nothing of consequence.

Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina
6'3", 220 lbs
30-6 TD-INT, 69%, 3748 passing yards

Well if there was one Andy Reid QB in this entire draft, it's Trubisky, isn't it? Super accurate, doesn't take too many risks with the ball, is very mentally tough and very athletic. He's a slam dunk for the Chiefs to trade up for, if he lasts to the 20s, but in a QB-starved NFL with at least 6 new head coaches looking for their QB, there's no chance he lasts to us.

This changes everything!!!

I think it’s pretty obvious that accuracy was never the issue for Wilson that it is for Allen.

If Allen couldn’t fix it in 4 years of college, it’s highly doubtful that he does in the NFL.

He only played two years. Maybe his completion percentage would jump 10+ points like Russell Wilson's did if he played 4 years and was put in a better position to succeed.

Interesting to watch how much better QB Josh Allen has been during red zone drills. When the field shrinks, he has been at his best this week.

He threw an interception to Georgia on that exact route. Cost Oklahoma the game

Stafford was a >60% passer 4 out of his first 5 years in the league. He barely had a 60% completion percentage in his 6th year.
He didn’t turn into a consistent accurate passer until his 7th year in the league.

Elway won’t have time to wait for Josh Allen to try to fix his accuracy problems.

Not much humbleness intertwined in Allen's statements. Likes to spread blame. If all of that is true, the GMs and scouts will see it. No need to say it to the media.

I've never once heard Patrick Mahomes say anything about how he had to carry one of the worst defenses in college football over a 3 year span, but it'd be true.

The great Louis Riddick on #OU's star QB at the Senior Bowl: "When it comes time for 11-on-11 nobody does it as good as Baker Mayfield. He's been everything as advertised. People are gonna try & poke holes against this kid. But you'd be making a mistake to bang against this kid."

no pressure, open WR and Allen throws it at his feet. The rate at which he misses these easy throws is alarming. pic.twitter.com/yvZucgF5al

And for every deep ball like that last one that Allen completes, there's about 4 of these that miss the mark so terribly his WR has no chance pic.twitter.com/QZM8ncYNo1

"I had to put everyone on my back and say we can do this." Future No. 1 overall pick Josh Allen pic.twitter.com/102phoDlgQ

but guys, Josh Allen has a bad supporting cast. It's all the supporting cast's fault. No really, I swear. pic.twitter.com/XOGgDW9ie3

here it is again in slow motion so you can really see the extent to which he shortarms it and sails it over his WRs head pic.twitter.com/eEvosEUsp6

Hey Knowmo, this is where you post that quote from last summer about Josh Allen being a better version of Mahomes and look like a buttfucking moron while doing so
