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.
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. [Reply]
I'm just reading what's out there and post the QB stuff I come across because I know you guys are following the QB's.
I honestly don't care who KC drafts and genuinely believe Paxton Lynch would've been the best QB in this draft class had he stayed in college.
Huh? Lynch would be like the 6th best prospect this year. Doesn't matter anyway, it's already been proved he's a complete fsilure in the NFL. A sub Biff Assweiler level QB. [Reply]
DJ was on one of the Ringer podcasts recently and talked about the QB class a bit... He said he has no idea where the QB's will go, said he thinks Watson could go in the top 5 or the last pick in the first round. Also said that early on in the season he had a chance to watch Kizer play live and left the game thinking that he'd win the Heisman and would be a lock to be the #1 overall pick.
He starts talking about the QB's at the 18:20 mark...

I just don't see Mahomes has the guy that Reid would want.
Gunslinger, risk taker, Cannon arm
I would really be surprised if Reid goes the "Brett Favre" route.
I still think that Watson,Evans,Kaaya and even Peterman are more likely Reid's "type" [Reply]

And Kevin Kolb had a gunslinger rep coming out of college as well.
When Reid has nothing under center, he'll take the safe route to ensure a baseline. But Reid isn't Marty - the safest possible option is not his preferred route. If he could get a Brett Favre in here, he'd do it in a heartbeat. [Reply]

This draft is going to be very telling.
If the chiefs pass on a QB early in this draft, it tells you how Reid really feels about Alex Smith. If the Chiefs pass on a gunslinger for a more conservative QB, then that also tells us a lot. [Reply]
I posted this in Walter's Mock Draft thread, but am going to put it here too.
I'd actually be pretty happy with Watson. It was pretty interesting to hear Gruden go through Watson's interceptions with him on Gruden's football camp. Showed him, and told him, how he could have easily cleaned up 6 or 7 of them. It was really interesting. If you don't want to watch it, communication between Watson and his O-line and Watson and his receivers was the key to most of the interceptions.
In fact, Gruden said once Watson and his professional teammates could communicate on the same page (getting the play and the audible play called and remembering it), he has all the tools to make be successful. BTW, Watson majored in communication in college. Completed his degree in 3 years.
So do a bunch of stumbling ass idiots that play football. Comm and Business - the staples of any good athletic department. Well that and 'undecided' or 'general studies'. Those are pretty good as well.
You're reaching something awful when you're citing his friggen Communications degree as a reason to draft the guy. [Reply]
