The Bears next starting Quarterback might be playing tonight....

[BaBaBlacksheep]

He reminds me of Mike Glennon both are about un athletic as you can possible be.

He needs to work on his deep ball as well he's only accurate in the first ten yards.

Looks nothing like Glennon

 

[Leomaz]

Probably an undrafted free agent

They are saying day 3 pick up for some teams for QB depth

 

[msadows]

You're right, he has a normal sized neck.

I started a thread about my hope they take him at 20. His ability to process the field and read defenses is crazy good. His accuracy is about as good as it gets, at all levels of the field.

The knocks on him are his arm strength and lack of mobility. His arm is not like Josh Allen, but he can make every throw. He can’t scramble like Lamar Jackson, but his pocket presence and movement within the pocket is elite.

I hear people’s worries about the talent around him. Burrow had the insane talent also (and no, I am not saying he is a better prospect than Burrow was). But if you watch tape and the analysis that goes with it, you’ll see how accurate he really is. Yes, he has Waddle and Smith. But Jones is processing things instantaneously and usually throws well before the WR even thinks about getting out of his break. On target. Almost every time. At every level of the field. Why not take him? If he doesn’t pan out, you draft another one next year and Jones can be a good backup on a rookie contract.

 

[msadows]

I can’t trust you to be honest.

he is too short though.

Never mind

Why not? He struggled hard his last two games against real competition.

He wasn't anything better than like a 5th round pick before that.

I still have my major question marks about him only due to the supporting cast around him.

That oline and smith make life easy as hell for him.

I have no issue if we draft him, but it still scares me if he's a product of having a loaded NFL level squad or not.

Good point, but his mechanics and his mental processing would be a nice change of pace in Halas Hall. Certainly traits to build upon.

I agree, but that throw that fields just threw is extremely impressive.

I'm not interested in what he can do with a clean pocket and all day to throw, I'm interested in what these guys can do when its collapsing around them and the opposing D is all over their wideouts*

That will happen a lot in the NFL. Not as much when you have the talent bama does.

 

[bamainatlanta]

What’s the story on Ian Book? What is his draft prospectus? Anybody hearing anything?

Fuck no.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Why not? He struggled hard his last two games against real competition.

He is a better version of Chase Daniel. Likely 7th round pick at best. No arm strength, rarely throws deep.

 

[msadows]

Fuck no.

Bears will take him in the 3rd round. Trade up for him too.

We need someone who can replace mitch as the scrambler in this offense!

 

[msadows]

I doubt he even goes 7th.

There are like arguably 15 qb's in this draft that are better prospects than him. 12 for sure.

Unless like half the teams in the league draft a QB he's gonna be a UDFA.

 

[Payton34Sayers40]

With that fumble he is looking like Mitchell now

 

[bamainatlanta]

It's easy to look good as a QB when your only pressured about 10% of the time. Hard pass on Mac Jones and his noodle arm

 

[bears26]

Alabama has no defense so this game is going to be high scoring. SEC defense is not a thing anymore.

 

[greg23]

1 pressure faced
1 sack and fumble

The guy doesn't face pressure and doesn't have to make any contented throws into tight windows

Add to it; he's completely unathletic and I think his upside is career clipboard holder

 

[roadwarrior_joe]

I'll take the receiver.....what a difference he'd make even with MT at QB

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Rough crowd. Think the kid looks pretty good.

 

[Payton34Sayers40]

The guy is mentally quick. There is no doubt about it.

As a Bear fan, I am not used to seeing mental professions that quick

 

[Payton34Sayers40]

Rough crowd. Think the kid looks pretty good.

He does.

Worthy of a look at 20 for sure. And if he there in the 2nd round we definitely need to snag him.
