As far as actual talent level, it's preseason.
I mean chalk me up for not getting this response

You can still evaluate


These throws are great and what makes a pro qb



It being "preseason" doesnt matter. He threw the ball to the spot the size of a dinner plate


sorry for the potato quality

I think he’s more jeff Garcia than Brees.

That he's got the ability to be a good qb in the league. I don't want to see him scramble a lot (Unless it's in the Russell Wilson) style.

I mean maybe

But these are combine measurments


Mayfield

6' 5/8"
215 lbs

Brees

6'0"
213 lbs



So that feels pretty close to me

I thought he looked pretty good. Few of his passes were well behind his receiver including his TD pass to his TE. I liked his pocket presence and how he ran for short yardage after plays broke down a few times

Thats how he was last night


He stepped up in pocket and kept eyes downfield


Only left pocket when it was absolutely neccessary


He really isnt a runner TBH

He's not. But I hope he doesn't lean on that as a way of getting himself out of trouble.

I also don't think Hue Jackson is the answer as far as an HC goes.

Garcia won grey cup once.
5 seasons Canada.

Got a solid retiement from.nfl, bounced from team to team, mainly starting only when star qb had injury.

He was never properly appreciated in San Fransico. That whole saga with him and T.O. is probably the only time that I disliked Owens during his career.

I’m talking more about talent level & style in relation to size

We'll see


I invision Mayfield with the potential to be as accurate as Brees, which I know is going out on a huge limb


But his adjusted completion pct in college was 82.6%

His adjusted completion pct on deep balls (passes over 20 yards) was 62.5%



That is elite stuff, and brings me far closer to comparing him to Brees than Garcia


We shall see though

He looked like he belonged and the Browns might have actually found themselves a franchise QB. He routinely went through his progressions, had good pocket awareness, and made some impressive throws. I also came away thinking that Callaway will be a stud NFL WR if he keeps his head on straight.

We know exactly what kind of QB Tyrod Taylor is. He's a good placeholder QB..sort of like a slightly worse version of Alex Smith.

If he leads Njoku(sp) there it's probably knocked down or picked

Hey i like the guy, but im not ready to go all in and say he will be Brees that easy.

It's an easy comparison, but history tells us likely not.
