He is also a real stand up dude. Has been nothing but joy for the Tennessee fan base to have him as our qb for the last several years. Great with the fans and keeps out of trouble.
Richardson is great but he needs a lot of developing before he can be a star like josh allen was. even now josh allen is great but can play horrible because he relies so much on confidence
Richardson got so much hype pre-draft. I personally do not see it either. And watching him after he was drafted, I just don't know if he has IT. Plus, who is he going to throw to in Indy? I am so much happier with Hooker in the 3rd than Richardson at 4th overall.
Lol this didn’t she well.Anthony Richardson balled out before he got injured.. Hendon Hooker hasn’t played because he’s backing up Goff.. BUT it won’t be easy to be Better than Anthony Richardson
So, people are concerned that he may only play 10 or 12 years instead of 12 or 14? Ability and poise are worth a lot, and is anyone right now worried about how many years "blue chip" Zach Wilson is going to play?

I honestly believe that in time Chris Simms will work for the Lions organization. They are obviously listening to and respecting his opinion. I watched another of his podcasts last night about Gibbs.
Hendon’s tape doesn’t lie at all. He make the right reads and is very mobile. Only knock I have is he holds on to the ball to long sometimes and can overthrow short routes periodically.
He's the real deal. He's the third best quarterback in the draft. All yhat combine bull crap means nothing. Listen to Chris Simms tell you about this young-man.
I keep hearing he's a "system qb" Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't every team trying to create a system the "schemes" to be better than the other team? Because someone does that to perfection they aren't as good? Sometimes logic is abandoned for commonality
I don't think Chris is crazy because to me Hendon has potential to be great and his tape this year was by far better than Levis. However if you incorporate last year Levis had a great year. So, I get it. Personally, I had it ranked CJ, Bryce, Anthony, Hendon, Will. It is hard for me not to see Cam though when I see Anthony which is why I put him over Hendon.
Jim Kelly was 26 when he took over in Buffalo Warren Moon was 28 when he took over in Houston Roger Staubach was 27 when he took over in Dallas Tony Romo was 26 when he took over in Dallas Kurt Warner was 28 when he took over in St Louis Who gives a fuck how old he is,if he can play he can play.Vikes @23 God damn it!
I'm gonna say that Stroud would be my #1 QB off the board. And I think Hooker may be a late 1st rounder, or 2nd for sure. But, for me, Levis and Richardson are being way overhyped. They may have physical qualities and look like an NFL QB on paper, but top tier QBs in the NFL don't come around often. Many are drafted - few pan out. I think media personalities are pushing 2 SEC QBs into top tier QBs, but I'm not sure how many teams are willing to gamble a 1st round selection on projects from KY and FL. We'll see.
The guy on the left has NO IDEA what's about to happen. Speaking as a Lions fan myself. I'm very much in the Keep Goff camp. But now we have insurance and a capable backup for the first time in a decade.
Name an analyst who gets all of these QB rankings correct? If theres one, he's a GM ... oh wait even GM's get this wrong alllll theee timeee. So GTFO out of here naming chrises misses and not considering Chris's hits. Theres more hits than misses, ive been watching his QB rankings since 2017, its always different most of the time and alot of them are pretty damn accurate.
Mahomes was a top 12 pick and Lamar was 31 I wanna say. So saying they would be good qbs make him good? He had kellon mond who’s out of league as a first rounder and Zach Wilson who got beat out by Mike white as a generational prospect. Clown
Raiders need him in 2nd trade up if you must. He will have the highest ceiling in this class, tape doesn’t lie. The man hits his guys in stride, cannon for an arm, runs like deshaun watson, great presence, extends plays, big frame, throws like Herbert. He’s going to be the damn man, shit Vegas needs him
He has excelled in a super simple scheme offense. Simple quick reads and never had to go through multiple progressions. Kellen Mond was a similar system player. Super under developed. Hooker is a different player, but evaluate him for what he is today, and understand where his development is, and the mountain he has to climb to be a quality QB in the NFL. Draft position should be reflective of that.
I don't understand that age argument. Oh, a QB is over 24, so he's going to be bad in the NFL. Just because there hasn't been many good ones above 24, doesn't mean anything because most QBs that come out are usually under 24. So the sample isn't large enough to make any sense of it. It's like when Russell Wilson came out. There hadn't been many QBs below 6'0 feet, so many people assumed he'll be bad.
The coaching staff absolutely ruined that kid. Zimmer was open about how much he hated the guy simply because the GM passed on a defensive guy he wanted to take him. He wasn’t great but that staff had ZERO interest in having him succeed
Just like Kellen Mond please No. it was the offense, & he was a man playing w boys wtf Chris don't deny truths. The dude was alright, but what's special here? If the dude goes #23 to the Vikings I'm going to pull my hair out! 😭
I really like Hooker to Detroit. I think they will have to trade up back into the first for him though. They have enough draft capital to do it. I think it's too high to take him at 18, but I'm really not opposed if Brad went that route
Finally someone taki g film into consideration in evaluating these QBs. Yall its about NFL readiness, not purely physical gifts. Im looking at all the guys that hype Levis and Richardson even tho they suck at throwing the ball
All the things said about Hooker’s age and success after transferring because of Tennessee’s offense could be applied to Joe Burrow and safe to say that turned out pretty good.
Chris Simms was Kellen Monds main supporter two years ago and my team drafted the guy and he had to be cut by the vikings. He never even made backup QB on a team that didn't even have an average one.
He’s good. Only issues with him have nothing to do with play. Age he’s 25 and he’s coming off of ACL are the only real concerns. And he’s essentially out this year. So 25/26 until he starts but that’s still really young 🤷🏽♂️.
Really like Hooker and his skill set. If I was GM of the Houston Texans and the owner told me “we need QB at #2”, I would say “trust me - we are FAR better off ignoring the 5’10, 190 lb Bryce Young and instead taking Hendon Hooker later. Young will bust in the NFL, unless he’s surrounded by premium offensive talent the way the Dolphins did for Tua and the Eagles for Hurts. Young would have to make NFL history to be worthy of the #2 pick - let him try it someplace else.
Well we knew the age would hurt him, but with the ACL injury he becomes a mystery. He will be 27 before he see’s the field. I think he goes in the 2nd round.
Nah, the fact that they let him fall to the Lions is crazy to me. If we keep Ben Johnson on our squad long term, even mayyyybe make him our head coach, then Hooker could be the next franchise player for the lions.
No way BJ become head coach while MCDC is here. He should stay as OC until the Lions win the Superbowl then he will have better choices and have more time to learn from MCDC.
I watched Kurt Warner grade him from film 📽️ Has a beautiful ball when feet are set, but doesn't really go through many reads in Tennessee. A lot of one read and throw. Don't truly know if he can run a pro offense, where he has to make reads? 2nd round at best, won't go past 3rd.
What a STUPID comment from co-host at 3:45...dude playing college qb at 25 is NOT ANYWHERE NEAR like a HS Senior playing against 8th graders...really ridiculous analogy - and then Simms just rolls right over and agrees with him! Clueless!
I dont see anything Richardson or Levi's have over Hooker besides size. That's pretty much it. They can make all the throws...so could Ryan Leaf....Byron Leftwich...plenty of others drafted for their "prototypical qb" look.
Went to the Lions! What a steal!! And you’ve got the hoodie on brother 💯🔥 He can sit behind Goff and really learn. Perfect situation.

I think he'll be there, which means they could also trade back with a little clout...
Prob somewhat, but 25 is still very young for a QB. They don't even hit their prime generally til early 30s

He had Matt f'ing Corral as his #1 last yr. Who is on a team that just gave a ransom for the #1 pick..
If Hooker was a little younger, he’d be higher up
SO happy the lions grabbed Hendon Hooker
Simms had me excited about Mond….and now I am ready to be hurt again with Hooker. I need help.
I almost always agree with Simms - which should make him nervous. Pocket passer with ACL, not a huge deal. Needs a team he can sit & learn in.
