    First and foremost, for me, it’s an exhibition and not Real football but it’s important because one should look good and the good news for all of us is all three did.
    Mason - Years of Experience
    Howard -Born Heart
    Allar - Born Ability

    Each has negatives too, but which do u choose for the Long Game?

    One thing that irked me was special teams playing like they rode the short bus to the stadium. It was ugly. Not just the penalties, either. For example the first punt GB had was very shallow arc and should have offered great return seams to Wetjen but when he caught it there was a wall of white shirts. Unacceptable and terrible night of teams.

    Showing your age a bit here using “exhibition” vs “preseason”

    Most of the special special teamers will be riding the short bus out of the stadium on cutdown day

    Dude. I didn't realize Howards arm was that weak.
    Watching it against the other two Allar, and Mason, and it really stood out

    Well, you must be sitting too far away from your TV. :)Either that, or maybe you just didn’t feel the vibe on Ben’s debut. Some 22 years ago, I was excited to first see him play, and it took only the pre-season to determine he was going to be good. I just didn’t know how good he would become…I felt similarly about Allar’s debut. I got the feeling he too will be good. How good? Ask me in 10 years.

    Allar has a top ten arm in the NFL!

    Rudolph's arm makes Howard look sort of weak. Rudolph's arm is average by NFL standards.

    Maybe we need to rethink this QB class… Fernando Mendoza, Drew Allar & Carson Beck all have looked phenomenal so far. - Chase Daniel.


    He is right. I saw Allar and Beck play in the pre-season games. WOW. I only saw Mendoza's highlights but, the man was impressive too.

    I was VERY impressed. He looked confident and poised.

    I had the feeling I was watching an NFL vet.

    Wasn't he drafted in 2022?
    So if You are saying that was in 2025 he was already in the NFL 3 years. Isn’t that a bit different than Allars very 1st preseason game ever or am I misunderstanding what You are saying?

    The throw Rudolph made to the back of the end zone that was almost a TD... was best throw of the game, IMO. He looked very "prime" Ben on that play.

    Danny isn't someone I would use as a resource for judging QB play. He does bring up some good points but only seldom so. His overall ability to properly analyze and dissect QB play is not succinct overall.

    Mendoza didn't look that impressive to me but then again, I need to review his tape against Arizona a lot more. Saw some of the clips but those don't tell the whole story.

    Of course not!!


    Drew Allar isn't allowed to develop for it is only preseason! Even though he is a rookie, him improving his overall foundation is meaningless against NFL Competition! Don't forget that he will not be seeing any NFL Action after the preseason either!!


    It's like Aaron Rodgers said; Preseason means nothing!!



    :lolol:
