What QB does Stidham compare himself to?

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

Brissett is a solid mid tier QB. He's not a star, but he's roughly on a parallel with guys like Tyrod Taylor, Matt Cassell, Larry Fitzgerald, guys like that have value if plan A doesn't materialize and you need to get through a season without being entirely unwatchable.

I assume you meant Ryan Fitzpatrick? Otherwise you think very highly of someone with 2 career completions.

I dislike this pick. We could have had Will Grier in round 3. He is a legitimate franchise QB in my eyes, way more accurate than Stidham throwing the football

Maybe in College, we will see how that turns out in the NFL, it's a different game.

I got ill at the "I was a big Peyton Manning fan" comment and never recovered

He did say "was" so there's hope.

He’ll be better than Hackenberg, Sanchez, Geno Smith and probably Darnold. So it’s a long-shot but possible he makes the roster.

I doubt he'll be better than Darnold (right away). He has some catching up to do, and I doubt he'll get a chance until Darnold is probably in his 4th season (Brady will be 46 and probably decide to retire).

Darnold is an excellent prospect who flashed some excellent play last year. Now that he has a running game, he should be even better. I hate the Jets too, but don't let your hatred blind the truth. At worst, Darnold will probably be the 2nd best QB in a great QB class. I always felt Darnold had the highest ceiling of the 2018 QB draftees, felt Mayfield was the most NFL ready, and Rosen had the best mechanics.

Watched an interesting thing on YouTube. It's called the Elite 11. They've had this for 20 years now I believe. Watch the one for 2014. They bring in 18 High School QBs, and the 11 best (obviously) make the Elite 11. A lot of famous QBs from the last 2 drafts are in it for 2014. They key on certain QBs, or should I say feature certain QBs, kinda like a reality show.

Rosen who was on the show, not shockingly, was the most uncoachable of the 18. Interesting that some of those traits are still mentioned today. But he was one of the key QBs featured on the show. Though Stidham was mentioned, and you can see him throwing some really nice passes, they don't key on him a lot. BUT he does make the elite 11 along with Rosen, Kyler Murray, Drew Lock, and a few guys who haven't made the NFL yet (still in college, but never became college stars). Really interesting show. Rosen, Murray, Lock and Stidham have been good for many years, obviously they are naturals.

Oddly enough, Darnold did NOT make the Elite 11 in 2014, he was one the 7 cuts. Not saying it means anything, just found it interesting.

Here's mine. We had a friend that went to Michigan and he was psyched at the Brady pick. He told us Brady was really good. We were like, "Yeah, right. You're just a Michigan homer..."

I was actually happy with the pick, especially in the 6th round. It was basically, wow that's great value for the 6th round. I had watched a decent amount of his college games, because I was fascinated with Brian Griese, due to his instant NFL success (which quickly faded), and went to the same college and came out a year or 2 earlier, so I noticed Michigan had a bunch of QBs. Also was fascinated with the Brady/Drew Hensen dichotomy going on, and always thought Brady was a good QB who never got a fair break, so rooted for the underdog.

So when the Pats made the pick, liked it a lot. Felt he'd make a good spot starter QB in case of injuries to Bledsoe. Never in my wildest dreams did I think he'd become what he became.

Time to head in for a vision check.

Not really. And he’s definitely way better than the one we drafted

Compare the two throwing the ball...no doubt about it

Grudging respect, maybe.

Not exactly hard to find fault with a QB who routinely hangs his receivers out to dry and was credibly accused of sexual harassment.

You forgot "got away with HGH usage while Brady got suspended for 4 games for nothing..."

Well, now you and Deus can hold an "I told you so" in your back pocket for one of you to play at a later date!

Yes, really. But if you think Grier's going to be a franchise-level QB, you should immediately bet everything you own on the prospect.

Yeah you're right., I do that sometimes, sorry. My mistake.

Even so, you don't put up the level of success Manning puts up if you're not one of the best.

Being good at football and being a decent person are not necessarily guaranteed to go together, but if you don't respect Manning's ability or recognize that he's easily one of the top QBs in NFL history, then you're just being dishonest.

Or I just don't like him...

I dont know who produced this video but its got a creepy vibe to it. Reminds me of those amateur porn video interviews before they do the deed.

Where’s the van?
