Penix is a warrior, to hell with the injury history! It’s also funny that everyone says that he is just a statue with no mobility. Go watch his tape and watch how many times he avoids sacks in the pocket and how quickly he releases the ball before pressure can arrive..

One can only hope Penix moves cross-town and gets a year with Geno before he is unleashed on the unsuspecting NFL.

Penix reminded me of Warren Moon

Penix has one of the top 10 arms of all time by the eye test. Beaver fan here.

JJ is definitely in that A+ level category. Some of these guys are NFL ready: JD. Michael. Joe. JJ.

I've said since the Oregon game he's gonna be standout of this draft

All I know is there are so many guys not taken top 5 who I'd love to have right now. Mahomes, Lamar, Josh Allen. Who's that guy this year?

As a Raiders and Texas Longhorns Fan, I was devastated when Penix EVISCERATED the Longhorns secondary. Both because he took the Longhorns out of the CFP, but it looked like he was out of the raiders reach, but since that Michigan game, it's looking like the Raiders could realistically draft him now

Rich is high off his fucking head or getting paid to try and swing public opinion if he thinks that McCarthy is anything but a backup QB talent. Dude is very talented at handing off to the RB though😂

I’m glad people are starting to realize what UW fans have been screaming all this time. Penix is the best passer in the draft and should be a 1st round pick.

Been saying hes the best qb in the nation the last year.

It’s crazy to see how many people haven’t really mentioned MPJ. Folks forget their perspectives have no impact on another persons talent or ability

I cannot believe that the National Media and ESPN is so late to the Michael Penix party. It will be interesting to see where the best passer in the draft ends up going. He literally CARRIED that Washington Husky football team to a National Championship game. Their defense was not even top 25, so that should tell the story. How and why you all chose to look away from him had to be because of the disrespect to the Pac 12. Penix should have won that Heisman. He not only had the stats, but his team was undefeated, unlike the 3 lose player that won it. Not sure how often you see that, where records don't matter? Should be interesting now to see if he continues to be knocked down from the 1st, or 2nd quarterback off the board, or if Jerry will be smart enough to put a Star on that boys helmet???? Yeah baby!

Those deep outs are ridiculous.

Those knee injuries might've been the best thing for Penix's development. I've been saying for a couple years now that Stafford and Rodgers are the last great pocket passers we'll ever see because of how mobile the new genereation is, but Penix might prove me wrong.

@@dawgpost90 I'd define it as lacking a vertical running threat. Of course QB draw and the improvised "it's man coverage and I've got thirty years of grass in front of me" plays will exist with everyone, but I don't think QB run-option was ever in the playbook for Stafford or Rodgers. I'll admit I haven't watched their entire NFL careers, but, in any of my passing attention, I was never struck by their speed. Allen is the Bills' RB1 almost, Mahomes and Jackson speak for themselves, Burrow/Tua/Lawrence/Herbert can run QB option. It's going to be interesting to see how the playstyle of these guys develop as they age -- Russell Wilson might be an interesting test case in that regard. Current Burrow might be my weakest example here but the spread concepts he showed off at LSU definitely aid the argument. Bottom line is we're still several years away from making true assessments of any of these players and I very well could be proven wrong by then, but Stafford, Rodgers, Cousins, Flacco, and Carr all hail from the days of traditional quarterbacking, and I think there's been a distinct shift in the last decade where that type of player has become *nearly* extinct.

Bills fan here, hoping Penix doesn't fall to the Dolphins! That offense, those weapons, if they had a QB who could actually throw the ball they'd be scary.

Penix to the Seahawks!!!

Penix spins it like Warren Moon

Been watching Penix since Indiana. Yes 2 ACL's & 2 RIGHT shoulders..not Left throwing shoulder. If it wasn't for injury history. He'd be top 3 picked 4 sure. He's NFL ready RIGHT NOW. Lot of teams are gna regret not picking him. He's the TRUTH 🤨

Peniix can throw what we call a deep 1 ball, most QBs throw the deep 3, some throw the 2 and very few throw the 1 ball deep.

And one thing he’s lucky on his pro day. He has all those receivers NFL caliber to throw to so there’s gonna be a lot of teams at his pro day.

Penix needs to come 2 Mile High on draft night!!! We need 2 86 the "experienced" QB plan, & get 1from the beginning of his career & teach him the Bronco way from his inception n the league!!!

I pray that the Seahawks can get him

Being drafted at 24 isnt a bad thing for a QB.. Cousins is 36 and just signed a 4 year deal

Imagine a team gets him and then either McMillan or Polk would be scary

Yessir MPJ

I think some at the end of the first round is gonna come out the second round and come get him like Teddy Bridgewater. Lamar Jackson, I can see some team in the second round, coming up at the end of the first round and come and get him.

Hopefully the raiders pick penix up but what scares me is his injury history

Am sad he didn’t showcase that vs. UM in the natty. He is a specimen out there running passing clinics and has for two seasons. Props to Michigan for being the more physical team. They did get away with several holds on offense and defense (zero were called- ZERO) but I don’t think it would have changed the outcome of the game but would have made it close down to the wire. That would have been more fun for everyone to watch. Just call 2-3 of those early to set the tone and the game changes.

I think he goes in the top 15

Agree on the beautiful balls, BUT going through the Penix tapes I see some weird mechanics, upper and lower body not in sync, no second reads, ignoring the corners, slow decisions on clear routes, uncomfortable if not in the pocket, overthrowing, not managing the clock,… So all in I am not too impressed 🤷‍♂️

Penix was great but who the hell was that receiver that let deep ball hit the ground? Packers cross him off the list that was crazy.

It’s not accidental. They don’t want to feature him. The narrative is set

Pittsburgh Steelers better draft this kid if he’s available at #20. Been saying it for over a year!

But yet espn does not have him in the top 5 qbs as draft prospects… even though He is the qb that’s most NFL starter ready.

Mike is top 3

As a bears fan this is who I want. I don’t see it in Caleb.

He will be the best QB in the draft

Your point about JJ is exactly why the Bears won’t take him. They don’t seem to understand what winning is.

Penix, welcome to Carolina

It feels like with his age, the lack of mobility because of the injuries and the quirky throwing motion he won't get rated just on how good a passer he is. Could be a Peyton Manning/Phil Rivers hybrid if it all pans out right though....

Hope the New Orleans draft one of qbs, because Carr is bound to get injuried, since he holds the ball forever, man another roller coaster year

It means absolutely nothing, just like every mock draft, player prediction, and other attempts to look into the crystal ball and tell the future. Here's the cold facts: of the #1 and #2 picks, one WILL be an abject failure. For everybody else, you're not really gonna know what you have until about the 3rd year of their NFL career. And about once every five years or so, a Tom Brady or other unicorn pops up to snatch the entire league by the throat and shake it till all the money falls out. And there is absolutely NO way to accurately predict who is gonna be Tom Brady 2.0 and who is gonna be Johnny Manziel 2.0.

How's JJ going to adjust to losing in the NFL
