Penix Jr. is being ‘underrated’ in 2024 NFL Draft | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC https://www.youtube.com/NFLonNBC

The first time I’ve ever agreed with Sims. Penix is the best QB in this draft and I hope Miami pulls the shocker to grab him
I think Penix will have a better career than Caleb Williams, the mostly consensus first pick. While QBs need physical talents, most of QB play comes down to the mental attributes. I think Penix does better in that category than Williams.
Commanders should trade back with Vikings and draft penix
He’s easily the second best QB based on performance and talent combined. Throwing only he’s the best. The issue is obviously health.
michael penix jr. is the best quarterback in this draft
Raiders
Penix is qb2
Penix to Adams, Meyers, Mayer, dude will be slinging it. And he will have ample weapons to make it look good on the other end!
Honestly don’t care what Dane had to say about it. I can make the same argument about Williams, who fell apart against the only NFL caliber D he faced. The offense was geared to throw the ball deep outside. But for sure he has areas to work with (foot work and base on intermediate throws etc) but his talent throwing the ball is only
Matched by Williams. Daniels is a guy w a good not great arm who didn’t show a ton of arm strength during the year or at his pro day. To me penix and Williams are in their own class. JJ is a JAG and so is Nix.
He is the best thrower in the draft. Taking McCarthy over him is a mistake. The ball snapp coming out of his hands.
Chris Simms sounds like he's stuffed up 🤣
Penix is going to the Vikings at #11!!
Dude is insanely accurate.
After Chris Simms pre draft evaluation of Zach Wilson I just can’t take this seriously anymore.
He's top 5
Steelers trade up to 12
super senior with an injury history that choked in the CFP. 2nd round.
He will be the best quarterback of this draft!!! You can bet on that….
😂 Chris Simms must be pulling some major smoke to help NYG. Please, somebody in the top 5 take Penix and push one of those other QBs to the Giants. Penix will bust in the NFL. Sorry.
He the best at playing QB in the draft. If you want a one read a run QB don't draft him. If you want a guy who read the defense and throw the ball, draft him. The NFL wants the shortcut now. Give me a guy who can run. Have that guy run instead of playing QB.
Bottom line is the G M and Coach will go with the QB in the draft that fits the system. Chemistry is what we need.
2:02 if Michael Penix goes to the Giants, he will have the starting job by week five
What I don’t like about this years class and Caleb & Penix both do this is over or under throw on easy routes. You just can’t do this at the pro level. So maybe Harbaugh is right about JJ. Will have to wait and see.
What a shocker Florio has nothing to offer regarding player evaluations or X’s and O’s. Hmmm wonder why this is always the case? Uhh cuz Florio doesn’t know football!! He refuses to actually do his job and analyze football. He can’t hold a candle to Simms. They’re not even in the same galaxy. And Florio knows that but he’ll never admit that, or actually put the work in cuz it’s too easy for him to just steal Simms takes and knowledge and never give him credit for it. He’s a selfish, egotistical fraud
He had a private workout with the Vikings.
The Raiders really are the team for a durag wearing QB. Hopefully turns out better than Jamarcus though.
Agree completely: Penix is a top 10 pick, IMO. He's arguably the best QB in the draft. He's got a very natural, easy, strong release. He can throw the ball.
top 3!
If penix was a handsome white boi like mccarthy his injury concerns would be replaced by the phrase "hes had a tiny hiccup or two along the way"
And Penix will last 5 Years and Maye will be around for 15..
Penix to the saints🙏🏿
He is being smoke screened big time, he will go higher than people think no way he gets past the Raiders
Falcons 🙏🏾
Better 40 and vert then Love Jordan.maybe he should sit for a year and learn
Wilson, Fields and Penix would be a very nice QB room
Not worth the 13th pick in the first round Mabey in 2nd or 3rd raiders have all 3 NFL QBs better draft defense.
Micheal Penix Jr to Miami. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. And he's a True Lefty.
I don’t see how the Vikings don’t take Penix.
Penix > mccarthy
Same game, Penix Jr vs Mccarthy, both had tough games. One played against the best college D, the other played against the 109th ranked D. One team won a defensive struggle, then Penix is thrown into the scrap heap, and McCarthy is propelled into the top 5-really?
Thank you Chris!
The most unbiased analysis in the whole industry. It’s so clear that he’s a top 4 Qb in the is class
People who thought he couldn’t run never watched him in Indiana
I would love the Patriots to make that Minnesota trade if it’s offered and take him at 11 they get a potential franchise QB and more draft capital
Bronco
Patty Mahomes also had 4500 yrds back to back seasons in college
Have been saying all year that he reminds me of Warren Moon. As Caleb Williams is not in play for the Vikings, I have Penix Jr. as QB #2 this year behind Maye. McCarthy is a very close #3, but Penix Jr. throwing darts and arching rockets to Jefferson, Addison and Hockenson is deliciously enticing 🏹
He’ll never make it to the Raiders.
