we play this game every year it’s kind of funny because uh people make fun of my my comps on this but we’re going to play the high low game I’m going to take all the first-round quarterbacks and basically it if if it goes really well this is how good it could go or on the low end this is sort of what it becomes so let’s play the high low game we’ll start with Caleb Williams Well everybody’s comparing him to Patrick Mahomes so we’re not going to outthink the room he has a lot of Patrick Mahomes capabilities he moves around he’s got a strong arm there’s arm angles he’s just a very very unique unque Talent Caleb Williams so I would say the high is Patrick Mahomes and the low is Kyler Murray maybe a little too much Sandlot football um spectacular but not as consistent as you thought he would be the high low game for Caleb Williams Mahomes and Kyler Murray Drake May well the high low game for me on Drake May is first of all Justin Herbert so I think Drake may actually looks and plays a little like Justin Herbert was more accurate consistently but he’s 632 he’s 220 he moves the low end is Carson Wentz he looks the part but he’s just not consistent enough with his accuracy everything looks like it should work nice arm can move big strong can let it rip he just doesn’t deliver the ball squarely and accurately enough high low for Drake May is Justin Herbert uh um and Carson Wentz okay Jaden Daniels the high low game the high is easy for me Lamar Jackson electric Runner who is more than capable to make throws in fact I think he’s a better thrower out of college than Lamar Jackson the low end is RG3 which is he just takes too many hits for his small frame so the high low Jaden Daniels Lamar Jackson in RG3 JJ McCarthy High Low game high I think it’s Alex Smith there’s a lower ceiling coachable is going to be about as good in the NFL as his coaching and his surroundings Smith was a bust until Jim Harbaugh and Andy Reid the low end is Marcus Mariota slender frame not really able to carry average Talent can win games may get you to the playoffs but the high-end low-end for JJ McCarthy high-end Alex Smith depends on the coach lowend Marcus Mariota certain clear limitations high-end low-end bow Knicks now I think the high-end because of accuracy college starts and productivity is Drew Brees coachable accurate schemed up the low end is Derek Carr he’s okay doesn’t win enough never feel like he’s a top 10 guy there’s something there a pro pretty accurate but not a great deep ball and you always feel like yeah we should proba probably move on and get another quarterback B Nick’s high low is Drew Brees and Derek Carr and then Michael penck the kid I like out of Washington I think the highend is Mark Brunell a really underrated all-time quarterback a lefty out of Washington moved very very well smart guy move well out of Washington threw a beautiful ball the low end is jamus Winston again it looks the part he’s got the arm he can move it just just doesn’t work enough he just doesn’t win enough so the high low for Michael penck Mark Brunell that’s not a shot Mark was a really good player got Jacksonville when they were starting out to the playoffs I think it was Tom Coughlin was his coach the low end is jamus Winston nobody doubts the first round Talent throws a beautiful ball but doesn’t quite square up with what you want as a franchise quarterback hi everybody it’s me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the scenes videos and more wherever you may be however you may be watching thanks again for making us part of your day

Collin sempre puxando o saco de quem ele entrevista… O teto do Bo Nix é o Carr, não o piso…
The Nix and Pennix comps are awful.
Colin… You gotta find a higher end for Penix. Brunell had an Ok arm at best. And why choose Brunell? Because he's a lefty? Seems pretty arbitrary.
Michael Jordan may be supperman of the nba but labron JAMES IS GALCTUS OF THE NBA HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME HE IS GALCTUS A COSMIC BEING OF THE NBA HE IS GALCTUS OF THE NBA 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
This McCarthy hate is egregious, so his ceiling is a top 12ish Qb? But Bo Nix who is is clearly more nfl ready than, and three years younger than, has a ceiling of a top 10 Qb of all time? Laughable.
Let’s play the same game with Colin Cowturd:
High:
Walter Cronkite (The Most Trusted Man In America)
Low:
Bob Barker (One of the Biggest Pervs in America)
JJ McCarthy reminds me of Andy Dalton
Surprised colins ceiling for caleb wasnt sam darnold his goat.
Jj is the next Daniel jones man
The lows need to be lower. Some of these floors are “out of the league in 4 years”
So Caleb Williams now wears a dress? 🤣🤣😂😂 Good luck with that Chicago
No, no, and no. Don't compare Justin herbert to anyone on this list. Caleb williams didn't win a bowl game for the trojans in my dead conference. Rip pac 12
Where did Penix go to school though?
Nice comps. Really a good deal
All of his “lows” were multi-year starters that had some good seasons but let’s be real the actual lows for some of these guys is gonna be Trey Lance or Easton Stick
Everyone’s saying the lows are too high, but the actual low for all of them is being out of the league and that wouldn’t make a fun game. These are like, realistic lows if things went in a slightly disappointing direction
I usually agree with most of what Colin says… but his Bo Nix evaluation is horrible. Drew Brees is a HOFer.
He compared Maye, McCarthy and Nix to other white QBs, and Williams & Daniels to black QBs. Only Penix broke the streak (barely).
Lmfaooooooo this man said Bo Nix high is Drew Brees 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These lows are way too generous 😆 or too high i should say.
Mark Brunell is such a great and clever comparison
High: Peyton Manning, Low: Ryan Leaf
This dude is so bad at his job lol how does this guy have a show ? Like Honestly it’s amazing how long he’s been on air and not know a lick about sports no matter how much he watches 💀
I'm taking Penix later on and passing on JJ and even Maye tbh. Penix isn't that far behind those guys and you can get him 20-30. Williams and Daniels are elite but Maye and JJ are not much better then Penix. Nix falls behind the Nix group to me and I'm staying away till late second
These are absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic, how is Derek Carr the floor for Bo Nix a hall of fame QB is the ceiling? The likely scenario is 1 of this QBs will be great, 2 will be ok and 3 will be misses.
Easily the worst segment I’ve seen in my life. Every one of these guys should go first overall with these low ends
Bo nix more like No nix
The lows are too high. Out of these quarterback there will probably be at least 1 that never starts and is out of the league in a few years
You can tell who Colin like the low is a soft low landing
Penix is Jameis is a crazy comp
JJ: High is Joe Burrow
I see a more athletic baker mayfield when I watch Bo Nix. I’ve been an Oregon fan for years so I’m not being biased. I feel like Baker is a perfect Comp
So nobody will be a bust other than JJ McCarthy?
low for drake maye is sam trash darnold
JJ low end is Mac jones
To me Penix Jr is Lamar with more IQ less razzle dazzle.
Damn Colin is going to be wrong, wrong on JJ.
Patrick sucks
Mark Brunell for Penix is crazy
How does Colin have a job talking sports😂😂😂
I look at Drake and I think of Josh Allen instantly. So similar in college pretty much identical. Always fighting to keep the drive going. Drake will be a stud in the NFL and any team that gets him will probably end up having the best quarterback for the next 10 years.
Bo nix is the best qb nfl ready out of this draft
1 comp outside the last decade lol.
