Way my view on this QB group is shaping up right now...
Mendoza goes at the top to the Raiders. Then you have a bunch of flawed options that can be sorted roughly into two groups. And all of them are probably round 3+ options.
First group is the "Association of Small QB2s Who May Be Outliers." This group has three at the top, to my eye at least, who are roughly equivalent, those being Simpson, Klubnik, and Gronowski. Then you have some dropoff and guys with more concerns or less skills, the Nussmeiers, Altmayers, etc who are more unlikely to develop into outliers. But this group as a whole can run a WCO offense for you for a short stretch if you give them a ground game.
Second group is the "Association of QBs Who Look The Part But Probably Aren't." These are your Becks, Allars, Paytons, Robertsons, Greens, etc. Probably all backups at best as well.
I think McVay will prefer the small group because they are moreso fits for an offense like his where the chains must be moved by the QB distributing the ball underneath due to the ground game not working. But when you're talking about a guy to sit the bench and redshirt I suppose it doesn't matter, may end up being which personality do they like best as a backup.
NO QB is going to beat out Stetson.
Mendoza is The QB of 2026 class.
What happens to Jimmy G is going to be interesting to watch before The Draft !!
IMO it’s always best to go with Tge Older(Experienced) QB. Drafting a rookie QB puts a franchise back a couple years.
Joe Flacco was an All Pro. Just look around with Colts,Cards .
