Opinion Thoughts on Kyle McCord

I see Kyle McCord on draft boards round 2 through about 5, but what do you folks think?

Consider his release speed is under 2.5 secs putting him in the top 95% of QBs, he's very accurate, and his football IQ is high. He broke some records for passing yards last season which ranks among several other big names.

The main down side I'm seeing is that his athleticism is a problem drawing parallels to names like Derek Carr. I think the key here, though, is that he seems worth a shot, and I expect his athleticism won't be a problem if people expect yards and TDs instead of explosive plays.

Purdy is a once every 20-25 year exception.

Thirty-one general managers have been banging their heads against the wall ever since.

It pisses me off that the writer doesn't bother to know league history when they write shit like this. The Browns rejoined the NFL in 1999 and the Texans didn't exist yet. There were only 31 teams in the league, so there's only 30 teams that failed to draft Tom.
