This is all about the QB

Personal preference, which is fine. Moore and Manning will definitely be in the running for QB1, they're both super talented and I like both of them as players a lot. Sellers won't be a better prospect than Sayin unless Julian has a really bad year in 2026 (like bad enough to come back to school bad). Basically its like choosing between Drew Brees, Andrew Luck, and DeShaun Watson (pre-massage) in styles. Its just whatever you like best.

I'd be more than happy if other QB's went ahead of him though. It makes it more likely the Steelers end up with him (which would be excellent for us). If you like QB's that win in the pocket with their brain and arm, then you'll love Sayin. He has a good arm, lightning quick release, elite accuracy and ball placement, and the best processor of defenses to come out of college since Burrow. His only knocks are his size at 6'1'' and 208 lbs, he's an average athlete, and that he hasn't shown elite improv skills. He's basically another Drew Brees. Idk. I like his game a lot. He's NFL ready now, and coming off another season run by Arthur Smith as OC, he will have played in an NFL offense with NFL schemes. He will walk onto whatever team he gets picked by week 1 ready.

As of now PFF, CBS Sports, and NFL Draft Buzz (the 3 draft sites I tend to look at) all have Sayin as the frontrunner for QB1... and all of them have both Sayin and Jeremiah Smith as top 4 overall prospects. I know a lot can change between now and next year's draft, but the consensus is that Sayin is a really strong prospect and if he has another good year, will likely hear his name called early (potentially first overall).

 

Yeah, his size and athleticism are average but you think he will go top 5 . You're letting your fandom get in the way of analysis, if Sellers rebounds with a good year he will probably go top 10.

 

He's considered one of the best prospects at QB in regards to accuracy and ball placement since Burrow.... So what if he's average athletically. He's a sick passer. He doesn't have to be a Madden "Create a character" to be really good with his throwing ability. He won't be Josh Allen, but he could be Drew Brees. That's not too bad at all lol

I listed 3 sites that have him as the #1 QB and a top 4 overall prospect. I know you don't like him very much, but he is actually currently considered an elite QB prospect for the draft. Its not a fan thing... its actually how he's being viewed at the moment.

 

You got half of that done: bad takes.

 

So do Shanahan and McVay. They seem to produce a lot of up and coming OC candidates who go on to HC rules.

 

True but those guys are usually promoted from within over time then get a shot. Maybe in a couple years someone who ends up on Mccarthys staff will do the same but I don’t think he’s getting a good one to come over to start. We will see.
