He's an elite passer- that means the ability to see the field, throw w/ anticipation, accuracy and power. Oh- and he showed that he can run the ball when needed. Just not so sure the other guys have that total package. I know Caleb doesn't. Caleb is going to be Kyler Williams. He has those exact same traits and I don't want that guy. We need a bad ass mature adult in the room. |

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
If Penix continues this level of play through the playoffs He will be a top 5 pick for sure!

If he wins the National title, he will go 1 and if he doesn't even better.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
I think the combine will tell alot too but overall yeah I could see Penix climbing to #2 or even #1

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
To the guys that opt out, that bothers me a lot. I'm not the biggest fan of Bo Nix but he gets a ton of respect. You go out there w/ your teammates and you play that last game. All these guys that don't play their final games, it would just rub me the wrong way. Very telling that the guys on USC seemed to be taking a small shot at Caleb. Talking about "we're a team" idk.. maybe I'd reading too much into it.

I'm starting to think their draft order will go: Williams, Daniels, Penix, Maye If we stay at 2, no way the pick isn't a QB. Can't imagine a GM not really liking 2 of those 4.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
The new Commanders football hierarchy will no doubt make thorough evaluations of all of the quarterbacks mentioned here. I would even add McCarthy of Michigan to this group. So it looks like a deep group at QB. However, none of the expert sources I have read has said that any quarterbacks other than Williams and Maye are worthy of being picked first or second in this draft. In fact one source I read talked to twelve current NFL GM's all of whom said that Williams and Maye are the top two QB's in this draft. So no, I don't want Daniels or Penix or McCarthy. I only want Williams or Maye.

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
I think it's premature to declare Williams/Maye as the top two going into the draft. I understand that has been the order all year, but I think the gap is narrowing and could be completely different in a couple months.
And this is the time of year where I don't put too much stock into what GMs say with regard to their evaluations of players. It's creeping up on lying season. |

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
I'd like to see how those numbers stack up to the pro qb's. Is there a statistical correlation between being elite and throwing more when you're moved off your spot?

Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread
Jayden Daniels saw his completion % go up from 65.4% to 68.6% to 72.2% from 2021-2023. That is damn impressive. 40 TDs to only 4 picks. And he rushed for over 1100 yards. 4900+ total yards.
I'm getting all aboard the Daniels hype-train. The last LSU heisman winning QB from LSU turned out pretty damn good.
