It's probably just as everyone surmises - between Maye and Daniels. My gut tells me it's going to be Daniels. He's dynamic, has almost twice as many college games under his belt as Maye (55 - 30), better stats against better competition, and he has seemingly improved every single year.

Maye's probably going to be a good NFL QB - maybe great eventually. However, I don't see how you pass on Daniels...
I've watched most of JDs games now and the number of times I've gone "WOW! nice throw" is far outweighed by the number of times I've gone "UGH! what was that?".

Not a fan at all.

Sure he was under center more than the other guys. And he may have been asked to do more at the line, but his talent level isn't there.

He looks like the perfect guy you take in the later rounds and develop. But cause he is a QB, and he played for the best team, and has Harbaugh telling everyone he's great, he has overdrafted written all over him. Please do not fall for the trap Mr Peters.

Seriously. Harbaugh saying he had the greatest workout he has ever seen ( LOL) and the best quarterback in the class. Sure. He is so great that the same guy kept the ball on the ground for halves at a time. This buzz is gonna get him a payday he probably doesn’t deserve, and good for him. Just hope my team isn’t writing the check.

Punch, if you're ramming the ball down a team's throat all game, there is no reason to pass it. You can't punish a QB for having a dominate running game. It's coaching malfeasance to pass the ball just for the sake of passing it, when you're dominating on the ground.

I'd run the same running play every single snap if it was working every time. Doesn't matter if Tom Brady was my QB.

We lived this last year. Not that we "dominated" on the ground, but we had a very good average when we did decide to run the ball.

Having a QB who can, but doesn't have to, is a good place to be.

Re: QB Prospects Thread

Agreed but Punch’s point, I think, is that it’s hard to tout that kind of potential when the QB was so underutilized.

We all have our reasons for why we want or don't want every option at QB.

But I don't think Michigan ran the ball more than other teams because McCarthy wasn't good enough. They ran the ball because they could pound that shit down your throat and you couldn't stop it. And they went 15-0. They were right.

Our points are consistent. They ran because they could (and when you can, you should - talking to you, EB). JJ didn’t have to do as much and so we haven’t seen as much - I think that was all Punch was saying, although he came correct me.

It is both. There were most certainly times that Michigan would have / could have thrown the ball and stuck the dagger in a team if JJ had a big boy arm.

Yes SD I know Michigan had a dominant run game but it is no secret that running was the “safe” bet in situations where a deep ball would have been lights out.

Number two pick and you got elite arms available. Take one.

Obviously Peters and Co know things I dont and if they pick him at 2 I will get behind it. But the first time he floats one downfield Im putting on adult diapers. Lol.

Re: QB Prospects Thread

I don't think it's crazy to think they are keeping all of their options open and haven't locked on to one guy.

We've already seen with the HC hiring process they are going to be thorough and methodical.

Re: QB Prospects Thread

I think they definitely have a pecking order and if the draft were today, they know who the pick would be. But there is still basically a month until the draft. It's possible the list is still subject to change. I believe LSU/UNC pro-days are this week.

Just curious, is there any speculation at all that Chicago buys into the JD hype and selects him first?
