I am guessing with the injury concerns, that Penix is most likely to get drafted in the 2nd round.

IF you're going to gamble on him, would it make sense to move back into the 20s and draft him there, after getting an extra pick or 2 for 11 ?

That's likely the play we make if we don't trade up. I bet we trade up.

What do you propose as the cost to trade up from 11 to 5? What if McCarthy is gone, but Maye is available?

Maybe next years #1 and a 3rd?

And yes to Maye.

I suppose that's possible if you're including this year's 11th overall pick. Probably take next year's #2 instead of 3. Very good chance 1 of Maye or McCarthy will be available at 11 if we don't move up.
Do you believe either or both of them will be Super Bowl quality QBs?

I'm an absolute no on McCarthy. The first quarter of the semifinal game was all I needed to see.

One quarter of football makes that about the smallest and most superficial evaluation of a player in the history of football.

McCarthy had a sensational team around him. He doesn't strike me as a great NFL player.

Here is some of the other quarterbacks that won national titles over the past 20 years. It doesn't equate to greatness in the NFL:

Stetson Bennett
Mac Jones
Joe Burrow
Tua
Trevor Lawrence
Jalen Hurts
Deshaun Watson
Jake Coker
Cardale Jones
Jameis Winston
AJ McCarron
Cam Newton
Greg McElroy
Tim Tebow
Matt Flynn
Chris Leek
Vince Young
Matt Leinert
Matt Mauck
Craig Krenzel

7 of those have had a lot of success. Way better than average success rate for QB draft picks.

I count five or six. Burrow, Tua, Hurts, Cam. Lots of money spent on Watson for very little return (Flacco had the most success on that team in 2023). The jury is still (very much) out on Lawrence, IMO.

The bottom line is, winning in college does not equate to being a great NFL quarterback.

In the 20 or so years referenced by Brad it should be noted that Superbowls were won by Brady (7), Eli Manning (2) over Brady, Peyton Manning (2), Drew Brees (against Peyton Manning), Nick Foles (over Brady). Rodgers over Roethlisberger, Roethlisberger over Warner, Warner Joe Flacco, Matt Stafford, Mahomes (3) And Stafford won over one of the guys on that list, Joe Burrow.

All but Foles and probably Falcco are HOFers.


So how many titles they won is hard to compare with that competition.

That's why they are winners, and the others I mentioned aren't. College titles do not equate to NFL titles. That was the point.

True. They don't equate.

My point is that the Superbowl Quarterbacking has been a very small sample size compared to the number of QBs that have played in the league in the same timeframe. Monopolized by the Brady's Mannings, and other HOF worthy QBs of the era. I will bet every one of those Superbowl, winning or even losing QBs knew when to spike a football in a two minute drill....unlike a certain now former Viking QB.

I've since seen his highlights (which, of course, can be deceiving) and he is full of athleticism. The combine takeaway was that he has good leadership qualities and has elite arm velocity. He's also super young. In all, very intriguing prospect. Like almost all prospects though, if he goes to a lousy franchise he'll stink. If he goes to a good one he has a great chance.

That's why they are Hall of Famers. They all won when it mattered and made a habit of it. Brady was an average quarterback in college (30 TD's, 17 INT's).

They all knew or at least learned how to win at the highest level. Cousins hasn't. He doesn't know to spike the ball after 12 years? He throws short of the sticks on 4th down play in the playoffs, you can't win big games if you are risk averse. When the HOFs games were on the line they got better, their game elevated. Cousins curled up in a shell. I am not sad he has departed.
