Penix is a beast Best QB in draft He'll be most succesful starting next year

[@Lyfe2Shortz]

If he can stay healthy he will be the steal of the draft. Has a top 3 talent out of all QBs. He’s falling past the top 10 strictly due to injuries

[@smercxz]

All facts. To me he’s QB1 as far as how I evaluate QBs. He’s smarter than Caleb he can process at an elite speed pre and post snap Caleb can’t that’s why he does the hero ball thing. Penix always has an answer with his arm BECAUSE of how smart he is at reading defenses and leverage with WR as well. Odunze is a beast but Penix’s ball placement also played a huge role in that crazy contested catch percentage. Not tryna take away from Odunze but we know Bad QB= Bad WR play because if the QB sucks the WR suffers. Penix is mobile AF he’s faster than Caleb, he’s bigger, he’s stronger, his arms more live. He can throw over the middle he has good size too. Penix gonna be a steal I hope he stays healthy

[@Bro-x6w]

Which is a big reason.

[@sprintstothebathroomdaily2429]

Bingo, its nuts to see bo nix rated higher, dude is like 25 and won nothing at oregon

[@NattyCaddy]

@@smercxz​​⁠i agree. the only thing that worries me is how he plays under pressure. he wasn’t under pressure much at washington, but he didn’t perform all that great when he was. he’s a smart player and i think he can drastically improve under pressure, but we’ll have to wait and see. i still believe he will be the best out of this class when it’s all said and done.

[@R8erRay510]

Raiders at 13 🙏 he'll kill it on our squad!

[@hyllstarter7090]

That's fine but then we need to trade back up to get that RT to guard his blind side.

[@R8erRay510]

@hyllstarter7090 yea that's round 2 most definitely this is a super deep OL class & we're drafting a RG in the top 4 rounds as well no doubt in my mind

[@Bman32x]

I really want to raiders to get him. His name just looks right in black & silver

[@R8erRay510]

@@Bman32x lefty like The Snake 🐍 too throw 12 on him n let's roll

[@brandonbelshaw6080]

You guys would be getting the best QB in the draft. Mike outplayed Caleb Williams and Bo Nix and played much bigger games and won more than Jaydon Daniels. He got beat by Michigan but their defense did that not JJ

[@King_Solomon33]

He’s easily the 3rd best qb they wild talking about a race between him and Bo nix for 6th

[@JackB.Nimble999]

Bo Nux is no slouch.

[@hanselbeckfordjr7530]

FAWKIN WILD!! He is the 3rd QB off the board but they’re gonna sleep on him smh

[@hanselbeckfordjr7530]

@@JackB.Nimble999Penix>>>>Nix and it ain’t close

[@00Regista]

@@hanselbeckfordjr7530Penix is atrocious throwing under duress or on the move. Now one is having all the time to throw with that insanely slow wind up. Bo is better across the board other than the deep ball that Penix throws is perfect (minus the wind up)

[@mackboneyakakushthoughtspo589]

Minnesota this is your new QB1

[@godschild6511]

They’ll take him at 11 and a defend player at 22

[@33crushman]

Please, I swear to God if we trade up for McCarthy I'm done with this team. Stay put at 11 and take this future star.

[@Bro-x6w]

@@33crushman well then get ready to pick another team because they are trading up, and it isn’t for Penix.

[@sharpprghosts7903]

You obviously don't pay attention fellas. Clearly kevin O'Connell was at Mayes pro day. Maye is a future viking when the patriots trade back w us.

[@sharpprghosts7903]

And BTW maye is 10x better than this happy feet scrub.

[@isitsustainable820]

Why didn’t you show any highlights

[@wheelchairmanjon]

He is talented. Definitely this quarterback class is deep talent plus work ethic equals greatness. We will see at the next level who turns out to be great.

[@suckafish2754]

They said the 2021 qb class was deep too and of them all taken in the first round Trevor Lawrence is the only projected starter going into 2024

[@TonydaGM]

" They" are wrong all the time

[@EllijahMcniel-y9t]

Please stick and pick Vikes.

[@Bman32x]

Could pick up a WR at 11, Penix at 23.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

​@@Bman32xI don't know if he'll be around at 23 anymore. Williams goes #1 to Chicago, Daniels #2 to Washington, Maye#3 to NE, and the Vikings most likely trade up for either Penix or McCarthy. Nix probably goes in the middle or end of the 1st round. This class is surprisingly rock solid. None of the 1st round QBs have any major weaknesses (except honestly Williams and fumbling).

[@Fight_fan123]

@@Bman32xthey don’t need receivers they have JJ and Addison. They need a DT or interior lineman

[@smercxz]

@@Bman32xthere’s plenty WR in this draft class there’s only 1 Penix. It’s funny now he will get hyped because of a 4.5 at his pro day. He’s clear cut #1 Over Caleb barring injuries. Penix is Smart can recognize defense pre and post snap, best arm, best deep accuracy, and best of all was capable of reinventing himself to a true Pocket Passer who actually has answer for everything with his brain and his arm. His low sack percentage wasn’t because of his mobility it was because of his IQ. The mobility is a just a bonus on top of being the best prospect as a true Passer. Nobody in this class compares to Penix but why all get overhyped rightfully so but Penix is my QB1 hands down.

[@jovaughnthompson354]

@@smercxz I hope they keep sleeping and he gets drafted to a good team low in the draft

[@Tyrant5RDFL]

I agree with everyone here that states Penix is a solid QB. He really is and as we all agree, his stock dropped due to injury concerns, which in turns helps him drop to a team in a better situation.

[@jovaughnthompson354]

He would be elite in McVay's play action offense

[@sinerge2832]

I’ve talked to Rome, he’s never going to be a problem on a team like so many prima donna receivers these days.

[@Scipioafricanus998]

I want M.P as a jet😂😂

@@adamtrapp2714 Howell is cheaper, younger, and has full season experience.....he is the heir apparent to Geno and this team has too many other holes...new defensive coach will want to mold the D to his scheme...Penix not in the plans...

[@jerrygardner320]

He changed how he played after he left Indiana. He stopped getting injured after he started trusting his arm and his ability to read defense.

[@latkagravas986]

Whom anointed Field Yates as the Messeenger? ---other valid outlets had Penix @4.53 on his 40. Was this dude found 'in the Field' by TV or was he found in 'Green Acres'?

[@spunks8906]

Great runnin' speed & jumpin' considering he's torn ACL in rt. knee 2x.

[@brandonbelshaw6080]

Atta baby Mike!!!! Lesssgoooo!!

[@theteeman]

Somewhere out West, maybe Seattle! He can definitely find a way to be a first rounder despite the injury history

[@TheCEOXPerience]

Bears should trade down from 9 with vikings or Raiders who will need to move up. Penix should not get out of the TOp 10

[@Dammit_Jae]

Honestly if he falls into the 20s during the draft, The Eagles should consider the pick...

[@mugandaje]

He is not falling to the 20s

[@TJDawgs72]

Latest he’s going is #12…either the Vikings at #11 or the Broncos at #12.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

Out on Hurts already? 😂 That sucks, because he's been paid and they're stuck with him.

[@steelphantom9105]

Not after trading for Pickett. Eagles won’t draft a QB this year in the first round.

[@lorenzo9676]

Let’s go raiders 🎉

[@keithcrook8591]

I think he can be the 2nd or 3rd best QB in this draft if he stays healthy. What’s insane is he will be the 6th QB off the board.

[@JeffAnders]

Hey guys, he's a Seahawk! .

[@smercxz]

Seattle traded for Howell doubt it

[@TheDildaddy]

I feel like if a team like the raiders, Vikings or Saints would be good fits for him. Even the Jets could draft him to sit behind Rodger’s to learn

[@kevingipson5356]

Raiders need to move up to take Penix. I think he moved up QB needy team’s lists after Pro Day. He’s the total package.

[@joelbrown4152]

Raiders

[@grybrns]

G-MEN!

[@abhi5ingh]

Rome and Pennix are top two in there position groups just wait

[@Yankee305]

Yates keeps adding up the number to that 40 time lol

[@latkagravas986]

👍, Indeed and whom anonointed this 'Green Acres' NFL pundit a valid stage of analysis? Other valid NFL sources shared he had a 4.53

[@jsods1]

If anyone is wondering who the eye candy is, his name is Field Yates.

[@joshua_x8284]

He top 3 smh I hate how anyone could really just push the narrative on how they want

[@trilllfamyoungin]

Saints should steal him in the first and sit him for a year and let him develop behind Carr

[@user-oe4hg5wt6u]

Best QB.

[@joeperry2065]

Vikings should take him at 11.

[@thebighousencaaattendancer478]

Penix didn't impress me at all. I was at the National Championship game. He only plays well vs mediocre Pac12 competition!

[@baseballdude8491]

Yu a dumb dumb bro

[@cartelzo]

He’s better than JJ and he was killing it at Indiana when he was there too

[@patskers1]

I don’t get why these qbs rise or fall based on pro days. Not singling out Penix but let the tape tell the story.

[@user-nn2vf2mn7m]

Um, did he not run a 4.46?

[@milehightruth]

Injury prone, pocket QB. Doesn’t matter. 35 rushes for 8 yards last year.

[@sinerge2832]

He’s going to be a steal for a lucky team.

[@chavacarrillo4479]

For Giants and Jets fans, I would not draft him until you guys get rid of that awful grass otherwise he will keep getting injured every year.
