Simpson.
Allar legitimately regressed every single year in college since he was the starter. I don’t give a damn about the physical tools if the football IQ isn’t there & his is not even close to being there.

Allar had a SIGNIFICANTLY better running game to lean on compared to Simpson, & Allar still played bad. Tools be damned.
I don’t think they are anything like. You just see white Alabama QBs.

Really awful argument. The actual argument against Allar is that Franklin broke him beyond repair, which is possible. Trying to claim he doesn't have the football IQ when nobody can know at this point is legitimately illegitimate

It's hilarious to me that you look at a QB who is an old prospect with very few games played, but who people somehow want to take high in the 1st round because of his dad and his dad's influence. Haven't we had enough of the "But his dad will help him" in our QB room? Have we learned no lesson here?
When you have a kid who's one big thing is because of his dad and not, you know, the QB himself, that should be a big red flag, of which he has several.

Yes, I’m sure that it was James Franklin that told him to make the most ill-advised throws the last two seasons.Really awful argument.

If he went to Pitt, you would not be defending a clearly bad player.

He didn’t lie at all.

Talk about biases. If his name was Ty Simpson, you'd be his biggest backer. You know, the guy that won nothing and only started 15 games? Whose biggest resume point is his dad's job? You're calling for him to be drafted in the 1st. I'm only advocating taking Allar as a project later in the draft. But go on with your absolutes.

If Ty Simpson played at Penn State with the same exact film he had, I would be backing him.
If Drew Allar played anywhere else that’s NOT Penn State, you would not be backing him in any round of the draft.

With how much film? Four good games? Five? Fifteen total played? I respect you because, like I've done with players in the past, you're certainly putting yourself out there on a limb. Setting yourself up for huge kudos or major nose rubbing.
I'm willing to take a look at a toolsy QB who played under a QB killer coach any time, no matter the school, but not in the top end of the draft. Allar's a risk, a throw of the dice, so you don't draft him high. Yeah, he's a Penn State player, so I prefer him over the other project QBs, but that's the only preference.
Both Simpson and Allar are super risky QBs with a better than average chance of complete failure as an NFL QB. The difference is, you want to draft one in the 1st and I want to take a chance on a guy later in the draft.

Disagree. I think a 2nd round pick is appropriate risk for his resume.

This was the Kyler argument and he went 1 overall.

Considering prior Alabama QBs were under a different HC and offense, I don't understand how that is relevant.
How many QBs can you name that started just a single season of college football and are 6'1 or shorter and made a pro bowl?
I can only think of 2. Brock Purdy and Kyler Murray.
Kyler had elite athleticism to overcome his size until he didn't and then he was gone

At least Simpson doesn't have athleticism to lose or cover his warts
Kurt Warner? Cam Newton?

I think this is fair, but I am willing to use a 2nd on a QB at a major program who has put on tape like Simpson has. There is obviously no guarantee, but as we have seen, there is nothing guaranteed for any second round pick. I am more willing to take risks when it comes to acquiring QBs.
Ooops. Just saw the 6'1" note so you can ignore these two as they were taller.

I look at Brock Purdy and think, if that is what that skill set can produce in the NFL why wouldn't I spend a 2nd round pick trying to get it?
Very similar to Love or Mauigoa at 3. Ideally, you wouldn't spend a 3rd overall pick on a RT or a RB, but sometimes you have to overspend to have a chance to get the productivity you want.
With Simpson, a 2nd rounder might be an overspend, but is probably worth the risk to try and get a QB.

Because teams will take risks and pick poorly. Doesn't mean he should have been taken 1 overall.
