Weak class, probably only one 1st rounder.

Let’s hope he can back it up!

I hope we see this year whether it was real line troubles last year or he's just afraid to go down field with the ball.

There were some plays last year when he had time and there were receivers down the field but he still dumped it off.

I wonder if he does that because he's afraid of throwing interceptions and he wants a high completion percentage.

I agree his deep ball was sketchy last year. Blaming the line for some bad deep balls seems wrong. Even when he had time it wasn’t great. Hopefully he worked on it all offseason. Well, once healthy.

If he can play like he is the #5 best QB this year we will be in the top 25.

These lists don't mean anything but something to talk about until football gets here.

There was another one that didn't have them in the top 25 quarterbacks.

I don't know if he's top five but I do think he should be top 25.

Read the practice report.

It sounds like Mertz is doing pretty good.
