QB THREAD - 2x quarterbacky award winner: Lamar Jackson

Surprised Andre Johnson hasn't been traded and publicly disrespected yet.

The way of the disciples.
 
Buy: Teddy Bridgewater being the long term answer. He has talent, mental smarts, and can make all the throws needed by an NFL quarterback. He's an articulate, smart guy that understands what his role is now, but also what it is expected to be down the road. I feel bad that he got shafted in the days leading up to the draft with all the 'skinny knees' ####, but I'm glad it resulted in him landing in the Vikings' lap. He is a legit talent, and is going to be very good.

Sounds like Cassel is still impressing thus far though and still the frontrunner to get the job for Week 1. Still early though.

NFL Nation reporters assess the training-camp performance of rookie quarterbacks who were drafted in May.

[h4]ROOKIE QB WATCH[/h4]<p>NFL Nation reporters give their first impressions of the rookie quarterbacks.</p>
i

Blake Bortles
 
Rd. 1, UCF

Bortles was a little wild and threw an interception in one of his first 11-on-11 periods in camp, but he bounced back with a touchdown pass. He had solid practices on Saturday and Sunday, leading the Jaguars to a touchdown in three plays in one two-minute drill and hooking up with receiver Kerry Taylor for another long gain on Saturday. The Jaguars will be in full pads for the first time on Wednesday, so this will be the first chance to see if his improved footwork holds up. -- Michael DiRocco
i

Johnny Manziel
 
Rd. 1, Texas A&M

Manziel has done little to seize hold of the job. He's not fast in his decisions, not overly accurate with the ball. He mixes in good throws with errant ones. He forces the ball and looks like a rookie. None of this is unexpected. Manziel is playing like a rookie in a new system, but he's not playing like a rookie taking grasp of the job. -- Pat McManamon
i

Teddy Bridgewater
 
Rd. 1, Louisville

His arm strength has been much better than was suggested during the fuss over his subpar pro day. Bridgewater's accuracy also has been impressive, although he mostly has been able to operate from a clean pocket in drills. If he's as good under pressure as he was in college, it'll go a long way toward his bid to win the starting job. -- Ben Goessling
i

Derek Carr
 
Rd. 2, Fresno State

The younger brother of former No. 1 overall selection David Carr has not shown any rookie nerves and commands the huddle, not flinching in the face of a rush. (Granted, he's not being hit.) When Carr runs the offense, he throws more bombs, while Matt Schaub is more accurate underneath and in the intermediate passing game. -- Paul Gutierrez
i

Jimmy Garoppolo
 
Rd. 2, E. Illinois

A quick release and a polished presence in media relations are things that have stood out from Garoppolo. He's thrown a handful of interceptions in training camp, a few of which came with no receiver in the area, which has led some to make the conclusion he's struggling. I've been impressed with how he's responded to some of the miscues by adopting a next-play mentality. -- Mike Reiss
i

Logan Thomas
 
Rd. 4, Virginia Tech

Thomas' arm strength made headlines his first couple of days in camp. He rocketed passes to defenders, causing bruises and hitting tight end Troy Niklas in the side of his helmet. When Thomas can connect, he's deadly, but more often than not early in camp, his passes came up short or sailed high. He's getting the majority of third-team reps. -- Josh Weinfuss
i

Tom Savage
 
Rd. 4, Pittsburgh

It's clear Savage is very raw and very talented. He has arm strength -- his deep balls never lack that -- but he doesn't always know what to do with it. One thing that stands out about Savage is he is bigger and stronger-looking than Case Keenum and starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. -- Tania Ganguli
i

Aaron Murray
 
Rd. 5, Georgia

Murray has been at the back of the Chiefs' quarterback line behind veterans Alex Smith and Chase Daniel and another developmental prospect, Tyler Bray. His few snaps come mainly at the end of a drill. Although his chances for significant playing time this season aren't good, the Chiefs don't look ready to give up on Murray. They'll keep him around on the 53-player roster, an injured list or perhaps the practice squad. -- Adam Teicher
i

AJ McCarron
 
Rd. 5, Alabama

McCarron is rehabbing a shoulder injury that caused him to miss most of organized team activities and minicamp practices. Part of his rehab includes staying a few minutes after practices and getting in a few short throws with a training staff member. But if McCarron plays this season, something will have gone terribly wrong for the Bengals and the two quarterbacks ahead of him: Andy Dalton and Jason Campbell. -- Coley Harvey
i

Zach Mettenberger
 
Rd. 6, LSU

Mettenberger is rotating as the No. 3 quarterback with Tyler Wilson. He has the strongest arm of the Titans' four quarterbacks and appears confident and composed. Just before camp, he made headlines for getting sucker-punched at a bar by a guy who told the former LSU QB "Roll Tide." He showed restraint and didn't retaliate, and is laughing off all the Roll-Tiding he's getting from teammates now. -- Paul Kuharsky
i

David Fales
 
Rd. 6, San Jose State

You won't marvel at Fales' arm strength, and his delivery looks a little awkward, but he's certainly capable of making NFL-caliber throws. Fales excels at anticipation and decision-making. At this point, the NFL game doesn't appear to be too big for him. -- Michael C. Wright
i

Keith Wenning
 
Rd. 6, Ball State

Wenning is enduring growing pains while adjusting to the caliber of play in the NFL as well as a new offensive system. He has the athleticism to run the bootlegs in Gary Kubiak's offense, but his arm strength is clearly his weakness. He's not close to competing with Tyrod Taylor for the No. 2 job, and he's firmly on the roster bubble. -- Jamison Hensley
i

Tajh Boyd
 
Rd. 6, Clemson

Boyd is a right-handed Tim Tebow. Has great intangibles, is mobile and is capable of throwing a pretty deep ball, but he's all over the place on short and intermediate throws. He has a long way to go and is hardly a lock to stick as the No. 3 quarterback. -- Rich Cimini
i

Garrett Gilbert
 
Rd. 6, SMU

Gilbert is getting plenty of reps, even with the second-team offense. He's had his share of struggles, especially in team drills. In one red zone drill, Gilbert appeared to struggle getting his feet set and airmailed a throw intended for open tight end Cory Harkey that should have been an easy touchdown. A big part of Gilbert's adjustment is transitioning from playing in the shotgun-based spread offense he had at SMU to the West Coast

[COLOR=#red]correct.

Josh drafted him and the Broncos went to and won in the playoffs. can't change that.

I hate Tebow as a QB, can't deny the man as a pure football player and cat with heart though.

And I love Josh as an OC... at the same time... F-ck That Guy. [/COLOR]

Well, I always felt whichever team ended up with Teddy would win. Teddy, A.J. and Mettenberger are the best QB's from the draft.
 
[COLOR=#red]Have heard nothing but damn good things about Carr so far.[/COLOR]
