Right now I think Mullens has the edge. Long term, who knows?

CJ has the bigger arm, but Mullens has the accuracy and pocket awareness.

CJ has about no upside. Those hits will take their toll

You can see that CJ has the better NFL arm to make all the throws. Nick though has a better awareness in the pocket and appears to process the field better. He knows the offense better and will let the ball go. CJ seems like he is unsure about what he's seeing which will hold him back no matter his arm in the NFL.

It doesnt matter what your arm is like if you cant process things quick enough ala Kaepernick. Unless Mullens seriously s**ts himself, Id rather have Mullens backing up Jimmy next year.

I like Mullen's accuracy and processing his reads but agree that he needs to get some distance to have the artillery work effectively

Mullins just a little over CJ. Faster processing. We also have 2 guys to throw 2, 1 with any size, Kittle. Have got to get a big outside body 2 throw 2. Not sure what Pettis is doing out there. Caught 3 passes for like -5 yards on those screens.

Def enough of a "sample size" now to see that Mulls in the better back up. Neither is starter quality but BDN has the "leg" up on Ceej

What's interesting is that CJ had more physical tools, but it seems Mullens has more of the "it" factor. If you could combine Mullens and Beathard, you'd have a starter.

I agree that Mullens has "it". IMO All he needs is a couple of years of working with Shanahan and he'll be in the "good" Kirk Cousins territory.

I was on the CJ bandwagon, but I've been really impressed by Mullens - guys a baller.
