What truly puzzles me is why Mac Jones is a mid 1st round pick and Purdy is a late 7th round pick. Looking at their college stats, I am not seeing it. They have similar styles and Jones was passing to much better talent than Purdy (arguably a bit better competition to but the Big 12 isn't the FCS either).

[@ralph8677]

I've felt this problem started thanks to the Steelers reaching the AFC Championship Game with a rookie Big Ben. He was an immediate contributor, so teams started believing every rookie QB should be that way, completely forgetting that those Steelers were already Super Bowl contenders, & Big Ben was the missing piece. Same situation with Mahomes in KC.

[@JDBass36]

QB is the most mysterious position in football It just all depends on the teams they got drafted by the players around him and the coaches Some players needed a certain coach to unlock there potential Mahomes on the Bears roster would probably be a different Mahomes from today Some QBs thrive year 1 similar to Stroud and others need to sit on the bench first Brady, Rodgers etc..

[@TheForeverRanger]

You would think in a copycat league like the NFL they would take the Chiefs or GB approach and have their rookie QB sit behind an established veteran like Alex Smith or Aaron Rodgers. Mahomes is the outlier to end all outliers because the Chiefs built a team before taking Mahomes but I digress.

Trey Lance was basically proof the league doesn't understand qbs as it pertains to scouting. Played half a season really. He rarely played past halftime. Had no real tape. Didn't do the All Star games. He played one game in '20. Against UCA. Didnt play well. Then he had a monster combine. I mean "He must be Him." Type performance. A combine baby. It happens way too often. A guy has one excellent day in shorts throwing to wide open guys. Then, he's "high ceiling" or "raw potential". Its an obvious flaw they refuse to deal with.

[@MikeHarvey-ol7xr]

And having NO INT's for a season is a red flag. No tight window throws. No throws under duress. No resemblance to the NFL game.

[@thequixoticangler3364]

@@MikeHarvey-ol7xr it's even crazier than that. You're a fellow tape rat, I'm assuming. You mentioned some things only a rat would notice. 1. Beyond the 0 int, he had less than 10 contested passes all year. That's not just a red flag, that drops you off the board if the scouts understand football. He played in a ridiculously basic scheme. 2. That scheme was because of him. He's not a high IQ player. He never, ever called an audible and check downs were slim to none. Again, a good scout understands that means one of three things: 1. The coaches are ignorant and don't know how to scheme. Not likely considering that HC took over at KSU and has revolutionized that offense. 2. They don't trust him. If you're not giving him options, that's because he can't be trusted to understand when and why. 3. He's an airhead. His interviews confirmed this. Shanahan didn't want him, but McDaniel and the owner were sold. The brass forced the pick. Shanny knew it was a waste from go. In this case it's 2 and 3. He just didn't have it, but because of Wentz and the spotlight on that program (NDSU during the 5 year period from Wentz to Lance lost 0.3 games a year, and, they had more players drafted in that time than the rest of fcs combined) and him going off in Indy, he got the "Needle" treatment. As in they thought they'd found the needle in the haystack. The Lawrence draft had 4 "Needles". Only Trevor remains. Teams feel forced to draft a QB in the first. It's killing the league.

[@thequixoticangler3364]

@@MikeHarvey-ol7xr one more thing: Nobody develops QBs anymore. They just assume they're ready and will grow into it. Manning, Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, Cousins and Brees all sat a year or more. The NFL did this to itself because of one player: Andrew Luck. He broke the mold and the game as a whole. Everyone is looking for the next Luck. The best "new" QB this year was Love. What did he get to do that the others didn't? Sit and learn. Levis is next.....

[@michaelhession2105]

Let me put it this way. 2021 was a very hard year to judge the QB class just because a lot of them played a shortened 2020 season because of COVID-19. I don't blame the scouts for putting guys like Zach Wilson and Trey Lance that high because those guys played more games in 2020 than most of the QBs in that class. The same went for 2022. Although a bunch of highly touted QBs had down years in 2021 which is why they slid in the draft. The 2023 QB class needs time as well, but there's also the feeling that like most times when a QB is considered a bust, it has little to do with him but with how inept those organizations are when it comes to surrounding the QB with a talented Offensive Line. Whats the point of a top QB if he doesn't have a freaking line long term.

[@Mia_Waiting]

Trey Lance could still get a chance if a needy team takes a shot on him.

[@benisrood]

The guy shouldn't have been drafted before the 4th round. He HAD to have known that he was in no way ready for the NFL. He could have stayed another year in North Dakota, he saw that there was a chance to steal a bunch of money and took it.

Zach Wilson went into a horrible situation. The O-line was awful. Most highly drafted QB’s are going to horrible teams which kills them. While lower 1st round teams don’t need QB’s.

Another great video Perna. The scariest thing about the Niners is they've made 3 straight NFC championships AFTER fucking up that massive trade for Lance. If they got literally anything out of those 3 first round picks, they should reasonably have a ring or two.

[@jrm78]

Fields is a victim of bad timing since he was drafted by a coach and GM who were both on the hot seat trying to save their jobs. This was mostly because Ryan Pace's roster construction sucked as he constantly traded picks to move up in the draft and only did the bare minimum to improve the o-line and skill positions. And when Pace finally did draft a tackle, he needed back surgery and missed half his rookie season - which has been a recurring theme since the last super bowl appearance for them. Nagy on the other hand failed Justin by putting him in as a starter far too soon against an opportunistic Browns defense led by Myles Garrett while implementing a game plan that envisioned using Andy Dalton passing from the pocket. He got sacked like 10 times in his first game and the sacks never stopped coming. Big Dick Nick Foles who was second on the depth chart should have gotten the start against the Browns and let Justin start against an easier opponent. Nagy continued to not tailor the game plans to Justin's strengths the rest of the season and both he and Pace were gone at the end. Poles has been very diplomatic in his wait-and-see approach to Justin's development, but ultimately his slow development and inconsistent play have led Poles to move in a different direction. I wish Justin all the best in his second chance with the Steelers because he's a good dude with very obvious talent that needs to be harnessed and have the wrinkles in his game ironed out. And I look forward to the dawning of the Caleb Williams era in Chicago and hope that maybe, just maybe fortune smiles upon the Bears at the quarterback position. Even the Cubs eventually won a World Series, no?

Ironically, the guys who've benefited the most are the mid-level/journeymen QBs (guys like Minshew, Brisett, maybe Flacco) since teams seem so trigger happy with moving on from the young ones when they're not working right from the start.

[@johnwormwood2858]

As one those much hated Vikings fans i still love your content. What your saying here is exactly what ive been trying to tell people. Its my personal feeling that Denver may possibly end up looking like draft day kings down the road by ending up with the 5th or 6th QB. If you look at the last 20 years of drafts you have almost as many hits in rounds 2-5 as you do in the first. The highest draft position would probably be Josh Allen and he wasn't even taken in the top five. All this trade up and qb run talk feels like insanity. Maybe the nfl should rename this years draft to "your hitting yourself, quit hitting yourself, why are you still hitting yourself?"

[@pigdroppings]

A NFL team drafting a college QB is like a crap shoot.... ......with four sides of the dice showing...'snake eyes'.

[@ErikCB912]

Actually the broncos did beat Zach Wilson. They shut him out in 2021.

[@metalcrip89]

Matt Corral looks to get a shot to start Saturday afternoon for the Birmingham Stallions or at least platoon with Jmar smith for starting snaps. I'll be interested to see what he can do!

[@jacksonnoah6472]

13:07-13:34 had me dying!

[@rexblade504]

Matt Corral is starting for the Birmingham Stallions and he actually had a great game today

[@jimbo0386]

Always felt like Matt corral was actually a pretty good qb, just not all the way there foe nfl standards. Could be a top tier guy at a minor league or college level, I mean he was pretty good at Ole miss

[@SnuggieMaple]

It’s kinda funny to think that if the Panthers weren’t terrible that Justin Fields might still be in Chicago

[@YourUpperLip1]

I use that Space Jam reference all the time when I’m talking about someone reaching 😂

[@carl7667]

Crazy I really thought at least 3 of qbs from the 21 draft would've been superstars by now

[@dfrnt_hues]

People forget how many guys don’t work out. If there’s 5 QB’s drafted in the 1st chances are only 1 is Great, 1 is good enough, other will be hated by their fans or traded by 2026

[@EsotericSyncretism]

I remember everyone saying Trevor Lawrence was supposed to be the best prospect in generations. He has definitely not lived up to the hype.

[@mightymorbinmorbster2746]

how could perna forget that we shut the jets out in 2021 with zach wilson as the jets qb

[@tonyng1600]

one expert said it before the best way to be draft proof is just to trade down and get as many picks as possible. because most people always get them wrong, thats just how math works. so having more picks will shield you from misses. and rookie wage is so cheap, hitting 1 or 2 is save you like 10-15m a year vs veteran pros.

[@devenconnelly6865]

It was crazy my freshman year of HS playing against Carson Strong to him now medically retired

[@austintegge4452]

The funniest part about Desmond Ridder is that he was traded for Róndale Moore. They both went to high school in Kentucky and played rivals against one another 🤣

[@usf1250]

Not a QB but I remember when Chicago drafted a LG out of Wisconsin and moved him to RT and called him a bust after a season. Dude never played RT in his life..🤣

[@Niel2760]

Who was this?

[@mydogvlad]

Love the content, keep up the awesome work!

[@johnathanr7928]

If Mac Jones was drafted by the 49ers he might be looked at as a good qb today

[@UrbanRally]

ball thrower is too nice, these dudes do nothing but chuck arm punts

[@seanz6274]

11:26 If you can't beat em, join em Perna!

[@Zay-y6m]

Broncos might honestly be smart to trade up for a qb. Next year there’s a high chance Shedur goes number 1 overall, but also a high chance he pulls an Eli if they draft him

[@tim6454]

I feel like Denver should sit back and get a QB they like when they get a chance. We are in rebuild mode and it's going to take a few seasons to get out from under that cap so we need to be hoarding all future picks at this point. Besides Denver obviously can't pick QBs so we'd probably wiff anyway, better to take a chance later where just as many star QBs have been found as the first round.

[@Zay-y6m]

@@tim6454 there aren’t “just as many star qbs” in later rounds though. There’s only a handful of current starter qbs that were taken in later rounds atm. The broncos are honestly more screwed then any atm

[@stephen84987]

From what I’ve heard from people in Oxford, Matt Corral has had some real struggles with his mental health. Took a year to find himself. It seems like he’s back on the come up and I really hope he can succeed in the UFL and maybe move into a backup NFL role. He’s a good dude who I hope can find success.

[@JadedJet]

Yea Jets should have scouted better.... Broncos still took him knowing all that and how he has performed in the NFL. I hope he starts lol

[@DirectorCouch]

You went off on Zach Wilson but he might be your QB if Bo Nix isn't ready... but he is undefeated vs Denver so maybe he's got some juice for Denver

[@Ill06Taco]

You say the worst thing for a QB is changing coaches/coordinators. Would be interested to see a video on all the coach turnover for Justin Herbert throughout college and NFL

[@jonldavis]

This message should go out to the Raiders. Don't sell the farm for your QB.

[@JustCallMe_Tae]

This is where my "spoiled Packers fan boy" persona gets to play 😁 I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad we got our QB when we did... QB purgatory don't sound fun.

[@aidanhendricksen4832]

I saw a Zack Wilson jersey here on the slopes of keystone when this came out

[@Tseuq4gninaem]

OR, here me out of this one. maybe JUST MAYBE, these QBs were never good enough from the beginning? MAYBE, the era of the QB has been over since 2018?

[@rjante2236]

Except Mahomes, but even then his defense has been great lately.

[@notsomadscientist9602]

This draft is gonna be wild!

[@hoseamatavao1208]

Geno Smith 👍👍👍 he did his job coach Carrol 👍👍👍👍 (U.S.C) 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stuzi07]

Zach Wilson is still with the Jets and was drafted in 2021

[@S7_Outdoorsmen]

Still called the Trey lance arc doesn’t help I played against him in hs and with him at NDSU

[@dullishstrikes2251]

The universe had to return to balance after the 2020 draft class

[@Magicmike12]

You guys might not like Field’s but look at what the Bears have brought in, the top wide receiver, new OF line, defense is the top 5, ect. How good would any QB be with all those weapons, yes he had DJ Moore but that was really it, talking about not allowing a QB to develop 🤔🤔🤔

[@Gimli8621]

@11:00 Couldn't stop laughing

[@lukestarkiller441]

I still stand by that The Patriots failed Mac Jones more than Mac Joinews failed the Patriots. If the 49ers had drafted him instead, I don't think much would have changed for them.

[@runriot-ke3cv]

True. They would have ditched Mac just like they ditched Trey.

[@Chiefsfan12]

10:09 thats why most people don’t watch cfb

[@justin9202]

Maybe instead of blaming the QBs blame the weapons they have, their coaches, and the stuff your asking them to do. QB is only a small part of the equation to a winning team The biggest issue I have with the Trey Lance draft was that nobody gave Trey the time of day. The guy has barely even been able to play One snap in the NFL and it's pretty much just been traded from team to team like a playing card

[@paullittle9187]

Wow! I had absolutely no idea Wilson built his college reputation on that weak of a schedule. I don’t even recall that being a reason for caution in the run-up to the draft.

[@mikesmith6838]

Dallas didn't draft Lance, SF did (and paid a huge draft investment for him). Dallas got Lance from SF for just a 4th round pick.

[@Remi_Paddlesworth_IV]

FYI: You mentioned Ian Book is not on a roster - but KC actually signed him (for some reason) this offseason.

[@BenXParsons]

The facts that this QB draft class was only a few years ago shows just how bad these QB’s were, some of them are already never gonna be starters again what a sad excuse of a QB class I can’t believe how fast these guys have flamed out already.

[@reconsoldier135]

If the Broncos can’t beat Zack Wilson then maybe they should sign him

[@richardvillafana8111]

Great video. Subscribed.

[@theunovanative7640]

Ridder had some talent. He outdueled Stroud in their meeting. He struggled with consistency, he'd have amazing drives where he would fumble or throw a dumb pick in the redzone
