    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

College football fan? If not you should watch. This class isn't a bunch of "names".... it's a good group and deep group

It could be. I think stroud has elite NFL potential. Levis and McKee is intriguing.  The rest have a lot of questions left to answer from what I’ve seen. Like I said I will be watching intently this season. As much as I can. Keep in mind a lot of my watching happens after the fact or after the season. Given that I work at a D1 school and have to work every game 🤣

Young (people will have all sorts of opinions about him), Van Dyke, Haener, Anthony Richardson ( we all know @D-Shiznit loves him), Rattler (people have their opinions about him as well), Hall. It's a deep group. Some guys need to up their game and show more like a guy like Richardson. Some of these guys don't have many opportunities to showcase their skills on national tv

You should be able to mirror your phone to your smart tv if it’s a fairly recent model. There are plenty of videos to show you how. I think we can also throw in season games from the phone to the tv. I’ll check back on that and report.

I can access off my PC in "tablet” mode.  Then use a HDMI cable to use my TV as a "monitor”.  Now, I rarely watched games live with GamePass so I don’t know if I can stream games live with NFL+. I use it for condensed games a lot but mainly have for the All 22.  Rather than use 3 hours to watch the HOF game, for example, I spent 35 minutes watching it.

How many games will Howie go to and see these QB's himself ??

KJ Jefferson and Leary...I know I'm missing a couple

This class is not only good, it's also offers a variety of QB types to choose from:

Prototype size/arm/accuracy - Stroud

Poise/accurate/smart - Young

High level tools but a little reckless - Levis

Combo of above average talent and above average skill - Van Dyke

Raw, but has the highest talent of the group - Richardson

Not to mention guys like McKee, Uiagalelei, Jurkovec etc

Basically, take your pick of the 36 flavours.

Idk but it shouldn't take long for him to start

Uiagalelei is another guy. He had a disappointing year but I don't expect that to be the case this year

Not sure if I love Richardson, not yet at least, but he is the one that has my attention the most, definitely the most intriguing prospect of the bunch.

I'm a big fan of Levis and I like Leary and Van Dyke. I also like Young quite a bit

Levis is the guy I am most interested in.  Almost a Josh Allen clone.

As far as running during 7 v 7s, that is overblown. They tape all of those reps and go over them. If Hurts is missing open guys, it will show it. If he is correct not to throw it, it will show it. But there is no difference between throwing a ball away, which other qbs do, or "running it." Hurts is simply showing he didn't see anyone open in the time allowed. 

As far as running in 11 v 11s, the ones from last night I saw were on read option plays, and he has to practice reading the defense in those situations.

Lastly, why should you care if he gets injured. You seem to think any qb on the roster is an upgrade.

There is a huge difference between running it and throwing it away.  I offer no judgement on those specific plays; maybe it wat good that he was running it.  I didn't see.  But there is an enormous difference between running it and throwing it away.

I get there’s lot of potential.  There’s also the chance we could have a lot of Jake locker/Christian ponders out of it as well.  Most still have a lot to prove this year.  Can’t count the chickens before they hatch. There’s still a ton of question marks.

The difference is these guys all have size, a ton of 6'4" + guys, and all have big time arms.

There's always a chance for anything. I don't think there is with this class

I've seen a few scouts/articles that have Van Dyke as a Herbert comp. Not saying he is but you can see some of it in his game

This is where I’m at. I think he has the best tool box of them all. Not saying I’m not a fan of the class. Just lots yet to be seen.  The Fresno kid, haene (spelling) seems intriguing as well.

Haener. He lacks size but has a rifle. Makes quite a few ill advised throws but that's why you come back another year to clean some stuff up. He's fun to watch. He's got a cannon and fits it in tight windows

The evolution of the blog since the start of training camp.

Imagine a world where, when presented with evidence (Sinnett playing well), you're able to actually change your opinion! 

That might be a little too high level for somebody like you, but, well, there it is.

Not super hyped about this qb class to be honest. Seems like a bunch of maybes. Reminds me a lot of the 2011 draft. Lots of names. Not a lot of talent.  I’ll be watching intently this year for sure.

I'm actually not enamored with the 2023 QB class.  I completely understand that some of the elite prospects like Burrow come out of nowhere in the season leading up to the draft.  Of those names, if one of them pops off a statistically huge season with a lot of W's, then they'll go top 3.  If not, I see shades of 2022's draft class.  You'll get some hype about the talent and workouts for some of them, read about how some teams see them as top 15 picks...and then it'll be late round 2 and most will still be on the board. We'll all be excited if a bunch of them put it together.  If they don't, it's going to be a bunch of value propositions for intriguing talent.

Unless a QB is putting together a monster year in NCAA, then they probably figure to require 1-2 years on the bench.

Never mind. If you choose before you sign in you can get content. If you sign in first you can’t.

They're not even comparable. We were talking about the bad 2022 QB class immediately after the 2021 draft. People were trying to talk themselves into Sam Howell and Spencer Rattler. That's putrid.

In theory the NFL will block that. What I’m offering is a workaround if you can’t do it like before. Looks like you’re already there.

All I have found so far is the games and condensed games.  No coaches tape from past years.  Really can’t be worse than GamePass, can it?
