I would not hate taking a stab at Carson Beck, depending on which round of course. Tall, experienced, rhythm passer with a winning pedigree, kinda hard to hate that in the mid rounds as a backup/developmental QB
The problem really boils down to, "who." Who will shake free? If anything, 2026 has taught us that, no matter which direction you turn, the QB crop available is dog shit. Nothing coming out of the draft, FA or going to be available via trade is worth jack. If anyone is trading anyone then they aren't worth wasting a pick. No one is trading an actual player who is starting caliber or 1a quality backup material. Period. Not for cheap anyway.
I just can’t comfortably sit here and listen to Dan Orlovsky on ESPN saying Ty Simpson, the QB of the ALABAMA crimson tide is special because he was the whole team and “had to do it all for them” Not Alabama State, not South Alabama A&M Community College, but the ‘Tide, with 5 star athletes everywhere that he’s saying this about. he gets paid to make stupid comments like that
Wow, that takes stones! Good thing Simpson is in the draft as I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be him walking into spring drills with that kind of stupidity flowing around the air waves! Orlovsky is an idiot.
That’s why I love Mateer! Pretty much everything he represents is what you just said. You might be right he might not be a good fit. However, my eyes tell me he’s going to be a good NFL quarterback.
As for the cold weather. He wasn’t tested in those elements in college so your guess is as good as mine if would affect his play. With solid mechanics weather is usually not an issue. His footing is very clean and he has strong enough arm strength to deal with the wind.
