Tulane QB Michael Pratt


Recommended Posts

Jets met with him at his pro day and for the love of god...look at the hit this kid took and came out for the next series.

Talk about tough.


Scouting report incoming.

Fans put way too much stock into how "tough" a QB is. Can he read a defense, how easily is rattled by a blitz, how good is their pocket awereness, can he complete a simple ******* screen pass to a WR? That's what you need to worry about. Peyton Manning and Brady are two of the best QBs in my lifetime, and their toughness isn't one of the first things that come to mind when I think about them. Mental fortitude is much important than physical toughness in a QB

The kid that hit him is a 130 lb cornerback so yeah he's pretty darn tough!

Help me understand what we're doing here.

Is it funny to say that a 220 LBer hitting a QB is a 130 lb cornerback?

If so please tell me how.  I'm so out of touch with what qualifies as funny nowadays.

I dunno, man.  I think he's worth taking at 10 after the toughness he showed in that clip.  Might even trade up to 1 overall to snag him.

That's all that really matters at the QB position

Obviously skill is what matters. But the ages of some of these QBs has to play a part. Pratt is 22 and turns 23 after the season. Not young really. But in comparison to other guys in that mid round area he’s young.

 

Penix turns 24 in a month

Travis turns 24 in a month

Milton is already 24

Rattler turns 24 a month into the season

Nix is already 24

 

For example Zach Wilson is still only 24 and has been in the league 3 years.

 

Of a guy is sitting on the bench for a couple years. You’d rather it be a guy younger.

We’re currently relying on a guy with 4 as a first digit.  If they drafted nix, he could sit for 2 yrs and still have a good 10 year career here.

This argument always fascinates me.

We have had a carousel of disgusting QB play here for years - if we find a guy who starts at 25/26 instead of 23/24 and we get 10 years of great QB play does it really matter that we didnt get 12 years?

There is also a strong argument to be made that you need more college starts and more years to mature as a person coming into the league.  No one has ever questioned Zach's talent but he has never once exhibited any sort of leadership here.  Taking the OL on a golf trip is very different from leading the team so ill happily take a good 24 year old who falls in the draft a bit because they are "too old"

The way the jets are building a team you can argue that it’s settting up to have a rookie qb contract as well.
