Doggin94it Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Good article over on CBS Was actually most intrigued by their description of Drew Allar: Quote 9. Drew Allar (Penn State) Height: 6-foot-5 | Weight: 238 pounds Accolades/notable statistics: One of two FBS QBs all-time to throw for 25 or more pass TD (25) and 2 or fewer INT (2) in a season in 2023 (also Tennessee's Hendon Hooker in 2022), ranked second in FBS in TD-INT in 2023 behind only Bo Nix's 45-3 Rick Spielman's comp: New England Patriots backup QB Joe Milton III Games to circle: vs. Ohio State (Nov. 2), vs. Washington (Nov. 9) Draft range: Fourth through fifth round Final thoughts Drew Allar is reminiscent to J.J. McCarthy up to this point as a prospect in that his offense hasn't asked him to carry much responsibility with his arm. Penn State's offense was incredibly conservative in 2022, something that is crystal clear in Allar's air yards per pass metric: his 7.3 air yards per pass attempt ranked 98th out of 110 qualified FBS quarterbacks in 2023. It wasn't that he was afraid to throw the ball, it's just he didn't have a lot of dynamic options to throw to a year ago. Allar possesses the ideal NFL body type for the quarterback position with a massive arm, and he doesn't turn the ball over as evidenced by his touchdown to interception ratio of 25-2, the second-best in college football. However, the accuracy is a question mark. Allar has yet to average at least 60% in the completion percentage department. That's simply not going to work in the NFL. Maybe he needs another year or two of seasoning at the collegiate level.

Thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 As long as he doesn't talk about how he modeled his game after Christian Hackenburg it's worth a flyer. Gotta at some point and some time do anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Thornburgh Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 But who does Chris Simms like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCJet Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I really dont think Allaire would benefit by coming out early unless he has some insane season. He only has one year of starting experience and didnt really throw all that much. Hes also learning a new offense this year and likely would benefit from playing 2 full years and then entering the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandy Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Some good guys to monitor. I feel like someone like Ewers could really breakout this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with all these qbs taken in round 1 the past few years and others locked up in big contracts there aren’t many teams ready to go qb round 1, so really unless the jets advance deep into the playoffs they should have a shot at one of the top prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really an excellent point. The way I see it is these are the teams that could use a high pick on a QB Titans Giants Raiders Saints Rams Bucs Seahawks Hopefully Rattler can play a bit this year and take the saints out of it and if Stafford stays healthy and Bennet can show something they could be out too. Really presents a good opportunity to take a QB for us next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys with Dak as a FA though he may knock another spot off the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call on the Steelers, they will need to do something unless Fields really shows out. If the cowboys lose Dak, that just means he does to one of the teams we mentioned which removes that team from the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he keeps playing as he has they may need to take one to upgrade and potentially open up the rookie window. But probably a year off. Said the same about Dak in my post. Already speculation Deion may try to push his son that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep forgetting about Shadeur and hopefully he has a good enough season that he helps our cause by being picked in the top 10 and letting a better prospect fall to us. Maybe the kid can play, but so much about the position is leadership, decision making, and intangibles that I have no interest in having him be the face of an NFL franchise.
