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.
Been watching all their games and I agree. I suspect he’s playing through an injury.
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.
His throws can be accurate, but they take so long to arrive. So much loft on his balls. It works at the NCAA level in the style of offense UW runs, but an NFL defense with speed will pick him off left and right. He should have had multiple picks in the Apple Cup
