QB Class 2021

I revisited this Sam Darnold eval by accident, but it's a reminder of things to consider when evaluating the 2021 QB class. Darnold has the exact same flaws 3 years later. And Sam Darnold has been working on this stuff for years. I see him with QB coaches working on his footwork, throwing mechanics, etc. It's not like he's just sitting on his hands and doing nothing. Some things just never get fixed, especially the mental stuff like rewiring motor patterns, vision(esp tunnel vision), etc.

It's an important thing to keep in mind when evaluating the 2021 QB class. Most of these guys are who they are.

Sam Darnold is starting to gain steam as the consensus No. 1 overall pick for the #Browns. He's very good at maneuvering through the pocket and creating when plays go off-script. Mechanics, footwork, and decision making need to improve, but he's only 20 years old. pic.twitter.com/6yK5ls9176

So basically what you're saying is we should draft Mac Jones

Allen by far is the exception to the rule. Historically guys with Josh Allen's profile and production have busted and busted big time.

What will happen is predictable, some team chasing the next Allen or Mahomes will instead wind up with an enormous bust and then people will find some other new fad to hop on to.

It's not just Allen or Mahomes, it's their HC, OC and QB coach that also put in the work to make them NFL QBs. How works Mahomes be if Singletary was his coach? On the other side we have Steve Young who Tampa let go and Walsh made him a HOFer.

Of course, the 49ers have interest in Peyton Ramsey.
