Where who didn't complete a pass? And I don't care how well Kaaya's form looks when he is throwing in a drill without rushers coming at him because this is what's going to happen the majority of time he sniffs any pressure

Chuck and duck out of the way, don't care where it lands, just get it out of my hand...
You're tryna tell me he didn't throw that out the back of the endzone on purpose? Please.

You mean when he had a receiver running open into the end zone? Please.... he threw it as hard as he could and ducked away from the slight bit of pressure...

Look I could play the gif game and show him doing the chuck and duck but there's no need because we all know he has an issue with pressure, anyone who has watched him play see it and the fact remains, he has formed a habit that is going to be tough to break...

He's definitely taken his share of hits and it has taken a toll on him.

I think of all the project QBs, Kaaya might be perfect for what Pace seems to be looking for from the position.


I like a guy with a little more wiggle/juice, but what the hell do I know.

They may have, but there are rumblings that he might go round 2 and I think with our deficiencies on offense/defense, plus how deep this draft class is, round 2 is too rich for a QB.

He looked directly at him, but I digress. I know what homers Adipost and I seem like for Kaaya, but I actually didn't like him at all his freshman year. Something clicked for me his sophomore year, though, and that FSU game totally sold me on him.

I'll keep saying it: if Mike Glennon is what Ryan Pace is looking for in a QB, then Kaaya should be a solid get in round 3 or 4.

Okay. All the "experts" agree, NOT ONE of this years QB class is ready to play day one, but as many as three could go Top-10, but you people still think Kaaya will fall to Day 3? Explain yourselves. He has as much experience as Kizer and Bisky combined. And better tape. He can't run? Well, he actually can, but a QB who runs more often, isn't confident in tight window throws, which Kaaya is. I am not trolling, and I'll gladly eat crow if he busts, but I really don't see the faults in his game that garner a 4th round grade.

Cause... it seems to be a fun thing to get you all worked up... Hell at this point I'm ready to say Kaaya will go undrafted if it bothers you so much...

- Derek Carr was a polarizing draft prospect three years ago, in part because of the spread system he played in at Fresno State and also because of an alarming dip in production when pressured. He was incredibly accurate when in a clean pocket during his college career, completing 72 percent of those passes. But when under duress, his completion percentage dropped to 29 percent. If Carr reacted that poorly to pressure in college, some wondered how he could possibly succeed in the NFL. -- ESPN

This is dumb and you know it... just because player A and player B have similar draft profiles doesn't mean player B is going to succeed the way player A did... not one person in here is saying a Kaaya can't overcome the habits he created this year, but it's a tough habit to overcome... and that said rumor is all warrooms see him as a 3rd round prospect at best

Derek Carr could lose a leg and his throwing arm and still be more athletic and have a stronger arm than Brad Kaaya.

Brad didn't run any 40's because he played through, and is still recovering from, turf toe. And I'll give up a little bit of strength for Kaaya's accuracy, any day.
