I have him in that QB 2-5 situation right now. Malik Willis is better than everyone, I think. The ball just jumps out of his hand and he's great at running the football when needed. High football & leadership IQ.
Next group would be Ridder, Strong, Kelley, Barierre, McCall... but they all have some flaws. Haven't seen the Kentucky nor Louisville guys yet. I don't really see the NFL future for Rattler, Howell, or Corral.

I hope some teams drafting ahead of us disagree with you on those bigger names, as Drama mentioned. Been a Willis fan, and I'd love to see him in the B&G.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

Strong only one issue he not a Runner but can move enough in the Pocket.
Then he will drop like Mac Jones did.steelmann58 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 1:59 amStrong only one issue he not a Runner but can move enough in the Pocket.

I’m hoping for one or 2 really bad Willis games this year....lolz..... I think he’s the only QB I’d take with Ben still playing well....right now I don’t see any chance he drops to the Steelers without a really bad game or 2 this year

My Boy today looked real good VS Bosie st. Hope he ends up in Blk and Gold
I watched the Cinn/ND game. Ridder throws a good ball. He has an arm to make those out throws. His accuracy is still lacking.
Saw some of USC's game. Slovis is really hard to judge because he has Drake London. Slovis does not have to zip the ball in as he can lob it in London's direction and he will come down with it.
Corral got so buried by Bama I could not tell much about him. Still had a 74% completion with people in his face all the time.
On a side note: Michael Mayer, ND TE #87, looked really really good. His is listed as a sophomore and more of a traditional TE that blocks and catches.

Call me crazy if you like but I have watched Virginia twice this year and Brennan Armstrong looks like a player. I was watching Sam Hartman Wake Forest but left liking Armstrong more.
I am going get slaughtered here for saying this but I saw a little Favre like gunslinger from this red headed lefty. Made some ballsy throws into very tight windows.

Honestly, I think Turner is a 4th round pick, in terms of the buzz... but he's got something. Isaiah Likely is another one–– and he plays in a triple-option offense where he has to block. Will be interesting to see how the QBs shake out between now and the end of the combine. If you see the top 15-20 QBs throw side by side at the combine, we can put to bed conversations about arm strength and accuracy. It'll pop out. It also will matter who comes out and who doesn't.
Like, if Grayson McCall comes out, he looks and plays a hell of a lot like Justin Herbert, and he could fly up draft boards.

bradshaw2ben how big is McCall? I think Strong is still the perfect fit for this team he big and has a cannon for a arm. But i seen Grayson last year haven't got a chance so far

As a bonus, I'll throw in my 5 cent knee-jerk comp for each:
Cole Kelley 6061 260
Cam Newton, if Cam had gotten kicked out of Auburn, ended up getting his shit together with a great offensive-minded coach, and if he had young Ben's intermediate arm.
Tyler Shough 6046 221
Daniel Jones with a touch of Nathan Peterman
Jeff Undercuffler 6042 231
Looks like Marino throws like late-stage Peyton Manning
Phil Jurkovec 6041 226
Jeff Undercuffler if he played at ND & BC.
Aqeel Glass 6036 215
David Gerrard
Des Ridder 6026 215
Byron Leftwich
Grayson McCall 6026 200
Justin Herbert with good, not great arm strength.
Carson Strong 6025 215
Mason Rudolph with better pocket presence.
Will Levis 6021 232
Taysom Hill with college Brett Favre's arm/head.
Kedon Slovis 6021 200
Andy Dalton with a little less arm strength.
Kenny Pickett 6016 220
UCLA Tommy Maddox
Eric Schmid 6010 180
Duck Hodges
Kaleb Eleby 6010 215
Gardner Minshew
Bailey Zappe 6010 215
Colt McCoy
Dorian Thompson-Robinson 6006 200
Joe Webb
Tanner Morgan 6015 215
Steve Bono
Sam Howell 6006 225
Baker Mayfield's younger and slightly less-talented brother
Malik Willis 6005 215
If Randall Cunningham went through a trash compactor.
Matt Corral 6005 205
Johnny Manziel with a good life coach and better judgment.
Spencer Rattler 6002 205
Discount Patrick Mahomes, with more propensity for mistakes, and less propensity to overcome them.
Jake Haener 6002 195
Straight up Jim McMahon
Eric Barriere 5112 200
Slightly bigger Kyler Murray

If those comparisons are accurate the Steelers should pass on QB, and trade down in the first and second, to double their picks.

Watch his driving intermediate throws—it’s the same lack of ball energy that Mason has. They both look the part but they arm isn’t as strong as their size would lead you to believe. Just like Mason at OKST, Strong benefits from a fantastic WR/TE combo.

That was a big game for him. If Doubs could have kept his feet in, that would have been a great comeback.
Willis, McCall, & Kelley all had great games Saturday... Willis was under intense pressure up the gut, got knocked out of the game, went to a hospital, was cleared, came back in and erased a 12-point deficit in like 5 minutes. His last TD drive featured a backwards/overhead/left-handed throw while being sacked in the end zone... it made it to the LOS, so he prevented the safety. Then yeo plays later, he scrambled left and, while being hit, backhand flipped the ball about 20 yards downfield to an open receiver. Pretty good stuff.
McCall lost, but had an absolutely outstanding game, despite Coastal not being able to run at all.
Kelley won again, and his numbers through 7 games this fall are all way ahead of his 7-game spring that won him the Walter Payton award.
Pickett played well after a slow start. There isn't anything really fancy about his game but he's polished now and it shows.
Also, a guy I had on the preseason watch list but who became kind of an afterthought when he wasn't named the starter for his new team (Tennessee) has climbed his way back into the realm of discussion: Hernon Hooker. He played well at times when at Va. Tech but it was ore his size and arm strength that were intriguing.

Yeah not a good look. Likely pulled up on his route on the INT but otherwise, McCall has done his usual abracadabra routine.
