  • I've been talking with Tour since he first clued me in on him, but if you're a fan of Mayfield, Rosen, Allen or Darnold - I'd suggest tuning into the UVA-Miami game now and watch Kurt.

    If Benkurt was on a couple of those teams, or really any team with some more talent around him, he would be getting easy 1st round hype right now.   The kid has the goods to be next level and I encourage you to take a long look at him.   I'll paraphrase my thoughts between Tour and I in my summary of him later.

    Watching the game already.  He started red hot

  • BOOM!  On the rollout and its a perfect throw.

    Please, tell me about Mayfield again.

    Darnold=Matt Leinert.

    Not at all.  Different coach, different skill set, different everything (except school).

    Exactly- Carson Palmer came out of USC. He seemed to do ok playing in cold weather. Not every schools qB are going to hit it big in the pros. I have a severe anti-Notre Dame bias, but then the produced the Joes Theismann and Montana- as well as Jimmy Clausen Pickle.

    Finally watched Lamar Jackson a few days ago in a different game,  but he has a really nice arm, and if there's nothing open he can get first downs with his legs all day long... Until someone puts him on IR.

    But there's also the possibility he can adapt his game to the NFL like Vick or Watson.  I think they all know they can't play the same style in nfl as they did in college 

    Yikes, Walter Football has us taking Jackson with the #1 overall. I think it was it wasn't until recently he got his completion % up to 60. FWIW Mayfield is a 68% career passer in college. PS I do like Walter slotting us McGlinchey with our second pick- Joe can't play forever...

    That's the knock on Rosen. His teammates supposedly hate him.  But you don't put up numbers like him and lead comebacks like he's had without being awesome 

    Rosen is good, but even people I know who go to UCLA don't like him much. To me he's been a spoiled kid most of his life and hasn't faced adversity. He grew up in SoCal so wouldn't be able to play worth a Sheet in the snow. I'd rather have a midwest QB.

    While he went to Michigan, Tom Brady was born and raised in California. Terry Bradshaw battled the weather of Pittsburgh while leading them to four Super Bowl titles, after playing college ball in Louisiana. Bart Starr won five titles in Green Bay, after playing for Alabama. Brett Favre was from Mississippi.

    ... his slender build doesn't appear to help matters either.

    6'3 + 213 = "slender"?

    Not getting that vibe... Definitely nothing like Teddy B. coming out.

    Question is... is Lamar running smart this season? I've seen very little of him this season. He was prone to getting a lil reckless last year.

    The numbers don't suggest too skinny but the eyeball test does...if that makes sense. I'm not saying the man is puny or anything, but it's a common concern regarding Jackson (the frame or his build). 

    He's definitely running somewhat smarter this season, from what I've seen. He still takes some hits and lowers the shoulder, but it doesn't appear to be QUITE as reckless. The main thing is he's passing better. Still has a long way to go, but seeing improvement every year is the idea.

    Mayfield's stats are better all around than Benkert, but yes, he does also play on a much better team.

  • I want to watch the (probably) top 2 guys tonight but of the rest Ive been watching... 1. Jackson, 2. Rudolph, 3. Mayfield

    Ive never even watched Allen live so hes not on my list. 

    Of the above 3, Jackson is the only one even close to a 1st rounder.

    Totally irrelevant to this discussion.  No team would take Benkert over Mayfield.  Not one.

    Live eyeballs from bottom of stands,at rail 2 hours before kick off.(35 yards away? maybe),I posted somewhere that night,He's larger live than on TV,surprised me also).Lamar is thick above waist put after thigh pads he's scary thin below knee caps..EDIT --..My friends seats at NC State our mid level 41 yard line. The 2nd & 3rd Quarter I went straight to top of Carter Finley to see a all 22 live binoculars..Lamar would many times find single coverage receivers late, than relied on his feet or check down..My worry is, In a passing league next level? his only confidence was in his feet/RB's or 1 WR (Fitzpatrick?)..Still watching Lamar since NC State game.. He's a QB & we need 3 of them..

    The comparison was between 2 qbs playing today. You bring up herrold  who played years ago,  so yes he and his stats are absolutely irrelevant to the discussion.

    Nope- in the words of Ghoolie- Black Tarkenton.

    We aren't shopping the bargain bin this year Tour. Suck for Sam, relapse for Rosen, play like bums for Baker. I'm all in on drafting 2 QBs this year. I saw more good QB play today than I have all year out of Kizer.
