Bryce Petty for those in the know

[garyv]

What is your honest feeling regarding Bryce Petty and how high will he go in this Draft ?

 

[IAmLegend]

My honest feeling is that his ceiling is a decent backup QB at best. Would not touch.

 

[reddyuta]

I dont see it,the amount of work he will need just to make make NFL throws and go through progressions is monumental.I would not spend anything more than a 5th on him.

 

[Pokes28]

I wouldn't use any draft pick on him. Good college QB, but frankly he's just a system QB. The next good QB Briles puts in the pros will be the first (yeah I'm looking at you RG3).

 

[TheCoolFan]

Not a fan at all. May be worse than Kevin Kolb was. He is entirely robotic as a QB, programmed to execute Briles' Baylor offense. Plus he never won a bowl game

 

[CF74]

I thought he'd be a good 3rd round pick but now after reading some of these comments I have my reservations, plus I've never seen him play...

This "can't read a defense" and "system QB" stuff is complete BS. EVERY QB is a system QB. That's why almost every QB who can't stay in the same offense for an extended period, fails.

Petty can make every throw. He has a strong arm and a good release. He absolutely CAN read a defense. His biggest question is being able to take passes under center and then make his drop while reading. That's what a QB coach is for,

All that said, I wouldn't take him in the first two days. He's absolutely hands down better than Hundley though. Anyone saying different is on some serious narcotics.

I think he is a solid prospect. Not a day one starter but has the physical tools and intangibles to be a very good starter. He needs two years of coaching and practice reps to learn how to play under center and how to read NFL defense and go through progessions. But he'll get it.

I think he is a 2nd rounder

You sir, are clearly not "in the know" so I will take your comments under advisement

Yes all QB's are system QB's but not all QB's come from gimmick offenses that only succeed in college. Some QB's come from pro style system where they actually have to take snaps under center, take 3, 5 and 7 step drops, read D's and go through multiple progressions, throw the whole route tree, or how about actually get into a huddle and have to call plays.

Every criticism or concern about Marcus Mariotta applies to Bryce Petty.

QBs always get over drafted

We get this weird and terrible feeling Petty will be drafted early than we and most expect, potentially the second round. There are some nice moments with Petty, but when things broke down in terms of pressure or when throwing to covered receivers off an initial look, he did not respond well. The Bills should not be confident in the future of any of the QBs on their roster, so we approve of Rex working out passers.

This is my opinion as well. With a quarterback on this developmental timeline, however, does it make sense to draft later in 1st for the extra year on the rookie contract?

 

[Gaede]

I like Petty. Probably the only QB I do like

 

[Fredd]

I like Petty. Probably the only QB I do like

I have liked him as well....not as a first round pick for anyone, but I actually like him the most out of any QB in the draft (including the big 2)...I just think this is a really weak draft for QB's and wouldn't touch any of them

 

[Hardline]

Do not draft any QB that does not fit the prototypical NFL pocket passer mode.

 

[RS12]

Wonder if that was a Cowboy personnel man.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Dallas area prospect hype is probably going to make me hate him tbh. I will have to fight against that.

 

[burmafrd]

hasn't he already had a couple of concussions and knee injuries?

True, but I like Petty much better as a pro than Mariotta. He's way more accurate throwing the football than Mariotta is.
