Actual Bowl watching 2017 edition

[Jay_Fixit]

And Darnold has a way of making a move as if he’s gonna take off (sometimes with a quick pump fake) and then jumping back into the pocket and making a throw. Does it all the time.

Anyone else see the coin toss?

Yes, that was what's called a flat spin. In most airplanes, that is unrecoverable, and will get you killed! LOL

 

Also, I just had to Google it, but the "Cotton Bowl" has not been played in the Cotton Bowl since 2010! WTF, over!? Does Jerry Jones have to RUIN everything!? I hate that ego-maniacal guy! LOL

 

ETA: Darnold stinks!

Not a good read Sam....pic6

Not doing much to break that USC QB stigma.

Darnold—bust-in-waiting.   I hope the Bills go nowhere near him.

If he's smart, he'll stay in school another year.  He needs it.

I agree.

 

He needs more time.

Trying not using phrases like " shoved down his throat" if you are trying to compliment some one.

No one could play QB under the conditions Darnold was in , was getting sacked, hit and hurried on every play.

Sounds like the exact same list used to excuse Hackenberg's play.

That saved me watching the second half last night. Good win for tOSU and the Big Ten.

Lamar Jackson with 2 tds...1 on the ground and 1 passing.  He is definitely explosive.

He is so good.  Needs to have the right coach/system in the nfl but going to be a great QB for some team, imo. Hope it’s not in our division.

I actually compared the two after last season. Tons of similarities. Darnold is a lot more mobile. But the hype after the first season was premature for both. I like Darnold as a prospect but he struggled with an nfl defense last night  (multiple soon-to—be NFL players and nfl DC/scheme) and didn’t look particularly interested or motivated (Hack looked like that too). He is talented and protypical but sloppy.

Jackson is certainly not a finished product but is something to watch.

[BuffaloRebound]

It's only one game, but Jackson doesn't look like he can beat you from the pocket, a necessity to be a successful NFL QB.  

[YoloinOhio]

Watching mayfield and then watching darnold is so different. Mayfield is ultra fired up and competitive, a natural leader. Darnold seems like a nice kid but very laid back. Can’t tell how much he really wants to win. He always looks like he’s in slo-mo

That’s how it looks.  And then there's a 75 yard run that few could make.

It’s obvious that your reading comprehension is on par with your QB analyses.

Barkley playing in this bowl game is admirable but praying he doesn’t get hurt
