Mitch Trubisky is a terrible football name. He belongs in a Wes Anderson movie, not on the field.

OK, let's go over the QBs and find out who has the best football names. I'll just go through the top 10 as ranked here: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2017/QB Mitch Trubisky -- As mentioned before, garbage-tier name. Worse than Blake Bortles. F DeShone Kizer -- I like the last name. Rolls off the tongue with force. Lots of potential for "Kaiser" puns if you're a history nerd. A- Deshaun Watson -- Kinda generic, but perfectly serviceable. It at least sells the idea of an exciting, dynamic athlete. B+ Brad Kayaa -- I should like this more, but the surname is confusing at first glance. Is it pronounced KAY-a? Kay-AA? Either way, the first name ruins it for me. "Brad" is an accountant name, not a QB name. C Mason Rudolph -- Total goober name, but not as offensive as Mitch Trubisky. D Chad Kelly -- I have never met a likable person named "Chad." Not the kind of name you want as the face of your franchise. Poor effort IMO. D- Davis Webb -- This isn't a QB name, it's a name for a fifth-string wide receiver who only plays special teams. D Nathan Peterman -- Now we're talking. I'm iffy about the first name, but "Peterman" is the kind of weird-but-memorable name you want from your QB. B C.J. Beathard -- An abbreviated name! We don't see that from QBs often. Then again, the last two abbreviated names (EJ Manuel, AJ McCarron) haven't fared well. Bodes poorly for his NFL career. C Joshua Dobbs -- I got nothing. This may as well be a Madden-generated name. C- In short, this QB class is as lacking in good names as it is in talent.

I think Kayaa's mediocre name is made up for by the fact that his mother is Felicia from Friday, which is going to be great to hear whenever he throws an interception.

The strongest name this year belongs to Bart Houston of Wisconsin. The runner ups are Mason Rudolph, Chad Kelly, Brady Gustafson, and an honorable mention to Brad Kaaya. It's tough having a vowel last name as a QB if you're not Italian but Mariota is bucking the recent trends. Kizer is a Brown's tier name and Watson is completely underwhelming with Deshaun as the pairing. Edit: I forgot Gunner Kiel but so did most of the nation

Doltos posted:Ugh this is why I have to do this every year. You got this all backwards. Any particular reason why you like Mason Rudolph? That name just does nothing for me at first glance. I'll give you Chad Kelly since that's simple and easy to remember, but the "Chad" name gives me douche chills. We'll have to agree to disagree on Kizer. At least we can agree that Gunner Kiel is a loving pro-tier QB name.

If we're on name chat Pat Mahomes sounds like some sort joke a kid would make up, but my biggest non-football related problem with him is he looks like he should be fat but he's just kind of tubby.  There's just something about his face that makes me think he should be a young Lorenzen, but he's only 230 instead of 275.

Well in Mingo's case he was unfortunately a linebacker where the rules are completely backwards. If you have an amazing name the expectations to be great are set at birth. Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert, Harry Carson, NaVorro Bowman, Brian Urlacher, Peter Boulware, DeMarcus Ware. I mean the list can just keep going on and on. If anything Mingo should have been better than he was.

NFL's draft projection on the guy was round 2 or 3, but the way they build that data is by canvassing some GM's and team scouts, so maybe that's just based off of the Jets? quote:ANALYSIS Well, Ryan Mallett was a 3rd round draft pick!

I don't get how the Jets are already saying he's not in a position to compete for the job next season. Like, is he throwing with the wrong arm or something? What the hell.

Condensed version of that scouting report: Strengths: - Can't teach size - Has an arm - Processes the play when he has time (like every other quarterback ever?) Weaknesses: - Woefully inaccurate - Gets receivers killed - Shoddy mechanics - Poor timing on passes - Can't handle pressure - The pocket presence of Blaine Gabbert
