But he apparently thought he did poorly. That's good. If there's a great player in Carson Strong, he'll be motivated for the right reasons and get there. I'm still looking forward to the preseason games to get an idea of where he's at in his transition to the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, I believe we have some very good defensive players, many of which are very smart. There will be plenty of mistakes by the offense, especially early. People are focusing on Hurts and Strong for reasons we all are aware of, but the reality is that both players need TC reps to continue to improve. Expectations for Strong should be tempered while he gets acclimated to the NFL, the speed, a new offense, and new teammates. He will make a lot of mistakes early. He can learn from them to become a better player. Hopefully, he shows enough to win a spot on the final roster and can be groomed without pressure during his rookie year. Obviously Hurts is farther along, entering his 3rd year. He needs to continue to improve. He'll make mistakes in camp and when he does, he needs to learn from them. In the end, it's the real games that matter. What's weird is nobody seems to care (or report) about Minshew or Sinnett. Minshew has been reported on plenty. Up and down camp.

KDUB1510 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I've been high on Strong all offseason and wont waver on that until i see him play in the preseason. He's a gamer so i expect him to play better once he's in live action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we will have to wait 5-6 games until the coach give up or he gets hurt (which I hope doesn't) to have a real NFL offense vs one with all the comforts a non throwing QB needs to not expose his failures in the passing game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a gamer so i expect him to play better once he's in live action. He needs to separate himself from the other 3 QB’s with his arm talent. Sinnett and Minshew both have probably similar arm strength, with Hurts just above both of them. Strong needs to rip some passes in camp and not throw the floaters that have been reported. The floater is what got intercepted at the Senior Bowl. Even if he can’t fully step into them yet, he’s gotta show some of the velocity that he hit during two minute drills at Nevada. I watched the games and he’s got it, but as an NFL QB you just can’t switch up your mechanics to suit each pass, (unless it’s off schedule) but coaches want to see consistency, not guessing yourself on every throw. Hopefully between OTA’s and Preseason he worked with Jordan Palmer some more since I’m sure Palmer drilled that into his head. If he can’t learn it or his knee just won’t let him, he won’t be on any NFL teams roster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were his first reps in team drills so i dont think it's as big of a deal as some are making it out to be. People who dont think he's any good are already taking victory laps before he's even played in a single preseason game lol. I'll reserve my judgement for when i see him in live action. I want to see how he's moving and how the ball comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite thing about the Hurts vs Minshew conversation is that Hurts is trying to get where minshew already is and minshew only has three more starts for his career.... Maybe one is just better than the other and those who down minshew have something against him...like dislike he is better than their choice of qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a character. with the roster we built, this is all about finding a franchise qb. Doubtful its hurts.

I thought Pickett and Corrall would go in top 11 picks. Pickett got picked at 20th overall by the Steelers. Corrall got picked 94th overall by Carolina. Howell went at 144th overall to WAS. Surprised they lasted that long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised as well especially for Howell, who this time last year was considered by most sites as a top 10 pick, he wasn’t awful at NC, but he did lose a lot of good players to the NFL.

Early on for sure, ( projecting 2023, Will Anderson is going number 1) since there isn’t a Lawrence or Luck in that draft, as for Strong, you already know I wanted him here forever and didn’t care what round he got drafted in, I didn’t think he’d go un-drafted. I wonder if Corral was a possibility for Howie in the 3rd if Dean wasn’t there, he was the only QB they had in for a visit. It’ll be hilarious if he has a better camp than Baker and Square Head.

I just feel he is a good fit for the style of offense we want to run. Reports havent been great so far but he's also a rookie who's barely getting reps and throwing to guys like Britain Covey and Lance Lenoir... hopefully he performs well vs the Jets.

Not expecting much honestly. But still thrilled to be there. Watching all the young guys competing for a spot. Want to see how he handles the pocket against 2nd and 3rd sting O-lineman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwahu Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’m honestly shocked at how badly Minshew has been playing. Worrying if this is tanking his trade value. Sinnett is looking solid, don’t sleep on him either. If Sinnett continues to play solidly and Minshew struggles, I want to end up with: Hurts Sinnett Strong as our depth chart. Provided we find an optimal way to move Minshew. I do NOT want Strong on the PS. We won’t be able to keep him, guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, this is Minshew's first camp with the teammand that we just don't know much about his practice habits. A week of camp isn't much sample size.

My understanding is that he isnt the best practice player. so we have two gamer QBs who don't show us ish in practice that we are supposed to be comfortable with lol I like minshew on the roster for the year. a near 4/1 TD/ int ratio and a good completion percentage. Dude spread the ball around and gave a few guys some stats. Not just one guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
