re: True or False: As prospects, Penix is better than all of the following

I think people went too far the other way criticizing him after the national championship game. He had one or two bad passes IMO and there were one or two more misses forced by good Michigan pressure. After the Sugar Bowl, this is what we were hearing.
Penix v. McCarthy matchup preview.
I think he can be the best QB in this draft. However, it just doesn't make sense (especially given his age) to sit behind Kirk for 2-4 years.

“With what I just witnessed in person at the Sugar Bowl, Penix is an assassin and has absolute, total command of the offense and incredible poise, nothing fazes him,” one evaluator said. “J.J. McCarthy is a great athlete but not nearly the arm talent Penix has. Penix is the most accurate downfield passer I’ve ever seen in college, ever. And I’m not exaggerating. Texas had good coverage on a lot of those big plays and it didn’t matter. And the designed QB draws were daggers. [E]very time Texas thought they were figuring out how to stop Washington, Penix would rip off a 10-plus yard run for a first down.”
quote:
“I’ve watched Penix for two years — he can really spin it [and] throws the best deep ball I’ve evaluated in 30 years,” one high-level NFL personnel man said. “I saw Penix in the wind last year at a practice and was astounded at how accurate he was on the seams, overs and deep balls. It really grabbed my attention. But the injury history is super scary.”

Penix's biggest issue is his looping, slow as frick, throwing motion.
This is before his injuries or pocket issues.
People forget how hold he was when he finally blew up, too. And he was being coached by possibly the best HC/OC combo in hte NCAa

This was a terrible take when it was made and still is.
That guys opinion has as much weight as mine does

Literally Burrow and Stroud threw better deep balls while in college, so again, this doesn't make it "true"because some unnamed source said so
