I should be around tonight for the game. I'm not as high on Falk as some of you guys are, but hopefully he changes my mind tonight. I was very high in him last year- not Darnold/Rosen high but I really loved him. Super super accurate with a nice quick release, not a gun but adequate arm strength. Sees the field. He seems to have regressed a tad this year. Need to see him up his game and start taking and completing passes down field instead of all the screens and check downs. _ |

I haven't watched much of him this year, but from what I saw of him last year, he reminded me of a young (pre-surgery) Chad. Accuracy, timing, getting the ball to receivers in stride and allowing them to make plays. Biggest question I have about him is arm strength -- clearly he does not have elite arm strength, but is it good enough? That is really what I want to see from him -- does he have the arm strength to make NFL defense defend the whole field. Looking forward to seeing what he does tonight. |

It's going to be hard to tell until his pro day or workouts because a lot of his throws are such short quick hitters you can't really get a sense of his arm strength. _ |

I'd like to see USC take the lead and see what Falk can do trying a comeback. |

I'd like to see USC take the lead and see what Falk can do trying a comeback. That's what I don't get about this year. He went downfield a LOT last year and also threw a bunch of 18-25 yard darts. This year (from what I've seen) it's been all under 10 yards and most at or before the LOS. _ |

The QB derby is heating up... dare i say - trending towards a conversation that Falk is at least nipping at? ...Gotta watch some Mayfield at some point.

Just watched the 2nd half. If I had to make a choice right now, I have Rosen ahead of Darnold. I know the USC OL is banged up, but just seems to me Rosen makes more plays in the face of the rush than Darnold. And Rosen has played all season behind a shitty OL and with questionable weapons. Subject to change, but Rosen is QB1 for me.

I've had Rosen & Darnold as 1a & 1b for a while. I think Rosen has the higher floor and Darnold has the higher ceiling.

The real + is that Falk may be entering the conversation as a top of the draft QB. We may end up needing more options than Darnold/Rosen. I'm hoping that by draft day at least 4 QBs will be worthy of a top 10 pick.

I have them currently ranked but what I like as Rosen,
Falk, Darnold. I would be happy with any of them at this point.

Of course, if we pick the wrong one, we'll never her the end of it. |
