Who’s everyone’s QB1 next year coming out of the draft. Thought it would be cool to see this post this time next year and see who the real couch GMs are. I think Penix is the best QB in college right now but his age has most people concerned and he’s had his share of injuries. Caleb Williams was most people’s QB1 until a couple weeks ago, then I think most people fell in love with Maye. But the past 3 weeks he’s looked bad against weak ACC defenses. Right now everyone is raving about Jayden Daniel’s TD to INT ratio and comparing him to Burrow with Joe having much better WRs. Who cares where we might draft if we had the 1st pick and didn’t have to sell the farm to get it who are you pounding the table for? I have to say Daniels he’s done great this year and he could be the next great Mobile QB.

UW fan here. Penix has been off since the Oregon game. He’s a different guy. Don’t know if he carried a knock or what, but the guy who was dropping dimes and then not playing in the third quarter is gone.
Which is a shame, because if UW has that guy, they will win the natty.
Kind of disagree here. He went 370/4 against Stanford. And Utah, Oregon St and WSU are like top 20 defenses. That game @Oregon St was in a monsoon, there were a ton of dropped passes and he was still stacking dimes and led his team to the W. UW’s running game and defense has come alive(both ranked in the 90s-100s) so he hasn’t had to throw as many attempts as he did early in the year. His stat lines aren’t as huge but he’s leading the team to victories. He’s got that X factor you can’t really measure.
Been watching all their games and I agree. I suspect he’s playing through an injury.
There have been many recent posts about the upcoming draft, in reality it’s MUCH too early to even tell. Raiders are in position to possibly draft QB3/4 right now as it stands. This likely means Daniels, Penix, Nix or McCarthy depending on how you view the QBs.
Lots of things can and will change between now and end of April. If we retain AP then Daniels seems like a strong possibility due to their connection from ASU. He can throw to all levels and is a very dynamic runner. His size (weight) and some decision making may cause some to pause. Penix is a big armed left handed QB (who I think Buccs will make a strong move for), he has an injury history and accuracy at times may cause some to pause. Nix is super hot right now. Has a big arm, can be mobile if needed, some will question if it’s a system fit or if moving from SEC to Pac12 to face “lower” competition will hurt him. McCarthy is another WB people are hot on. Of course in their run first system have we seen enough of his QB talent to equate that to NFL.
Penix and Nix will be playing against each other this Friday in Allegiant so the team should get an at home look at two of the selections.

Several these guys have been in college for a long time, in part because of Covid
Nix is 23.8 years old Penix is 23.5 Daniels is 22.9
Williams and especially Maye and McCarthy are younger
JJ

He’s 6th on my list and it’s mainly because he doesn’t have to do much. Maybe I’m wrong but he just hasn’t wowed me this year I see the other QBs doing more.
I don’t follow college ball too much, but since Jimmy has been benched I’ve been keeping tabs on the QBs. I say this with limited knowledge, but I have a weird, strong feeling about Jayden Daniels.
Do you see a scenario where he drops and we are able to draft him?
That GPA award honestly means more to me than the rest. Book smart
Maye, Caleb, Daniels, Nix, McCarthy, Penix
I think we bring in a veteran like Kirk for AOC to sit under and heavily draft O and D Line.
Yea but I’m just asking whose the best QB of the 6 main not necessarily for us to draft but just your opinion whose ready for the NFL.
Rule 1 in qb drafting: No USC qb’s
I don’t care one bit about next year’s QBs. We do need a backup, but hopefully we find one in free agency and not the first round.
Nix, Maye/Williams
My belief, based on a lifetime of watching football, is that a QB is only as good as his offensive line and his coach. Teams that excel at both areas win, teams that don’t, lose. O’Connell is more than good enough to win if he’s properly coached and properly protected.
I also believe that nearly no QB is a sure thing. For every sure thing that panned out, 10 more sure things were busts. The only certainty is that when you draft a QB early, you have to pay him a fortune. We’ve seen this time and time again.
If the Raiders absolutely must draft a QB, I hope it’s J.J. McCarthy. He’ll probably be available when they draft, and he has the most potential of anyone who is also likely to be available then. That said, I’d rather they focus entirely on the offensive line and their defense. If they trade up, I hope it’s to draft a tackle like Olu Fashanu or Joe Alt. QBs are easy to find in later rounds (Brock Purdy anyone?) but tackles aren’t.
Before anything, the team needs a coach. Jim Harbaugh is the obvious choice. If they can’t get him, there are some promising offensive coordinators, but, as we learned with our most recent coaching hire, they come with some risk. A proven winner like Harbaugh should be the top choice.
Keep sleeping on Bo Nix. He’s like a better and more explosive Brock Purdy. People might see that as a bad thing but its not.
Jayden Daniels by a fuckin mile for me. Bo is second, but I don’t think he’s gonna translate well onto a team like ours.
Plus I want a QB that can run, or scramble at the least. It’s necessary in today’s game.Defenses are too smart for pocket passers to hit for 3 td 300 yds consistently. These two passing tds one rush etc. He’d open up the running game etc, could mask a shitty O line.
What’s a pocket when you don’t need one. (This is a joke) but point stands
Why is everyone writing off AOC after 4 starts? Give the kid some time. Year 2 is usually when you know if he will be legit or not. Not just based of 4 games lol
