Is a joke right? Every QB they pumped up or "impressed" has looked awful except for Mateer.

Maybe its time to not judge guys on their ability to throw into a basketball hoop, but on their game film.

You realize the Manning Passing Academy are for kids, right? The QBs are instructors for the kids. Then they do something drills and fun things for the fans and throw to the kids, but it is not designed for the college dudes

You’re taking it too seriously. NFL GM’s, pros at their chosen profession, draft busts year after year. Nobody frickin’ knows shite.

I remember them telling us how great Jordan Jefferson and a Brandon Harris looked at their camp.

Anthony Richardson was the most recent head scratcher to me. I could not figure out why anyone would take this guy before the 6th round. I realized he had great size and some athleticism, but it was clear he was inaccurate with very little football IQ. I will be surprised if Caleb Williams has long term success too. I think he may have a little better IQ, and his athleticism will help.

I ran 14 miles last week and really killed it on the diet.

I am going to live in a world without Mannings. May take awhile so need to stay in shape.

This is your answer coaches always think they can make a player better and GMs thinking they are smarter than everyone else.

All of the QBs at this camp are athletically gifted so of course they look good throwing against air.

Packers seem to know what they're doing.

They should’ve sent Nuss to that camp in California where Burrow and JD5 went after their first year. That place works miracles

I don’t see how waving brooms and tennis racquets helped those two, they were pretty good in their own right

Big swing and a miss by the OP thinking it is a camp for college QBs.

I remember going to maybe the second or third camp ever. Eli was there as a HS Senior. Jake Delhomme (who was a backup with the Saints then) was my group leader. It was a fun time as a HS kid

Their midwestern sensibilities kick in when drafting QBs haha.

Do they or do they not have competitions for the QBs? Do we or do we not have media telling everyone how good these guys look at this camp? Do we or do we not have media members who pump up certain QBs? Did Moscona do an entire segment on Nuss throwing a football into a basketball hoop from 35 yards out?
