Bad QB play right now is partly because these teams are taking swings trying to find the next Josh Allen or Lamar. They overlook how bad these prospects are at playing QB to take gambles on big arms and scramblers. These QB’s can hardly go through progressions.

Some of the college QB’s are getting compared to Lamar, but Lamar even back in college was a legit passer and had better QB fundamentals than people gave him credit for, especially compared to these college QB’s today.

Fans act like it’s easy to turn a “raw athlete” like Josh Allen into a touchdown throwing monster, but that’s way too rare. Plus Josh Allen had 650 passing reps through college and played QB/Baseball all through High School (over 599 in-game passing reps through three years of High School, one year throwing 350 times). Lamar Jackson had over 1000 passing attempts through college.

Mahomes threw the ball 1350 times over 3 college years.

Folks trying to push these guys who’ve thrown ~400 passes through college football and say “they’ll do better in the NFL” when the opposite is true, they’ll get exposed. Coaches are going to ask them to throw it and it’ll show how bad at reading defenses and processing they are. WR’s are going to get pissed when they keep scrambling and/or missing them during windows both clean and nuanced. They’ll blow up a franchise.

It’s a loose metric, but I’d like to see prospects have around 750-800+ college reps passing and a decent HS history of playing QB (with a good amount of throws). If you barely have 750 throws you need to sit more in the league.

People overlook that Lamar played for Bobby Petrino. You cannot run his offense without being able to pass.

What other choice do they have considering how ass QB play is for guys that aren't rookies or early into their careers?

It wouldn't be an issue if a lot of the vets weren't ass and could actually hold down the fort until the young guys are ready.

Build offensive line, build a defense, draft weapons.

When the right QB comes around and you’re out of draft range, trade up or let the right one who can take advantage of what you’ve built fall to you. All-timer QB’s have been taken in the 20’s.

These teams are blowing top 10 picks on QB’s who have no business going that high.
