Time to seriously start looking at this QB draft class

That they did not score on, and Rodgers threw one too...the word clueless comes to mind.

Who was playing catch up when the INTs were thrown?

The defense bailing Prescott out is not a + for him, he still threw an awful INT.

Mechanics are often not fixed - Rodgers and Brady are outliers.

Recently Teddy Bridgewater tried and failed and Bortles reverted back to his old habits. It's like teaching an old dog a new trick, if a player doesn't have the throwing mechanics down by the time they get to the NFL, it's normally not going to be drastically changed.

Now some players, like Rivers, obviously have found success with odd throwing mechanics. But again, it's rare.
Yup. Every guy in the league is working on it, for the most part. If it was that easy, they would all be accurate and have great mechanics

Yeah, and that's what I think makes Rodgers so special. If you look at his rookie preseason performance, he looked like a completely different player. Unrecognizable.

Romo experimented a lot with his mechanics, but even in his college days, I never thought he looked too bad. Scouts just questioned his arm strength and height.

And so has every QB that has ever played the game. Dak is the reason we had a chance to win that game and you have to be a complete fool to not think so.

If Dak doesn't look like he can put this team on his shoulders and the rookie year was a fluke, we can't mess around and hope for a "bounce back" third season with the unique QB class coming up.

Sam Darnold, The Chosen One, Allen, and Jackson are all quality QBs that any other year, would be considered top 5 talents if not for the competition.

I think Darnold is going to the Jets while Jags will snag one of the other QBs if Bortles doesn't step up. But we are in serious contention right now to have a top 15 pick with how our defense is and the way Dak has played.

Time to find a true franchise guy that can make all the throws and doesn't go noodle arm on every other intermediate throw.



Always always always BPA, but Tap the brakes on Dak, he’s our Future Franchise QB...

And he's also part of the reason we had to play catch up, dude. He was going against a crap Packers secondary, and he couldn't throw on them early.

Anything else? Go eat some turkey, try not to think so much.
