Those measurable matter but not as much as people like to act like they are.
tank, you have been putting some great BP posts in here and keeping the BP optimism all offseason, it's great to see 
Yes I agree its not about *height, arm strength, and 40 speed -* instead of what really matters.
Which is the point of watching his college tapes and looking at his target progression just a little beyond his college receivers and just right for the pros. His poise is also miles above most rookie QBs.
We will see if he grows this year but as I said before I'm pulling for the kid.
Can't wait for camp.....
Approx Two weeks away! Dun dun dunnn can't freakin wait. I hope Trey is balling too and it becomes a real competition between the two. I'd rather see Lance get the remaining first team reps instead of darnold.
can't wait to see how the rep splits go when Brock is out there and when he will be out there
I know my optimistic side thinks we have 3 good QBs and one may turn out great 👍 I like Trey as well the anti Baker Mayfield. I also want him to get the first team reps, let's see what he can do. This two weeks is very slow for us lol. 
I think we have 1 QB (Brock) that we know can play at a high level but have questions about maintaining after the injury and additional tape on him.
then we have 1 QB (Trey Lance) that is super raw but seems to have made a lot of progress this off season. Right now, pre camp, I think we can rely on Lance to play at a mediocre level and help us beat bad-average teams but not the top teams. He could have a big time camp and become a real threat, but it's his inexperience that worries me the most regarding playing good teams. I feel like he hasn't played enough top defenses or complex schemes to be effective, but that's to be seen.
then we have 1 QB (Darnold) that I'll only be optimistic if he's playing if it means Brock/Lance is coming back from the injury and it isn't season ending. If he's the leader for the rest of the season, I see us as one and done in the playoffs at best. I don't think we can truly compete with the top teams because our team relies on not turning the ball over.
last year we lead the +/- regarding turnovers Vs takeaways - that was instrumental in us winning the way we did. So i doubt we can be e (Brven top 10 in that catagory with someone like darnold. I think darnold can be respectable if it's a few games while Brock gets healthy.
I think we have one QB (Brock) who has superlative instincts and judgement, and if he can get one to two weeks of full go in practice, and one to two weeks of light go, which he's on schedule to do, he's your quarterback. I don't expect to see him in a preseason game healthy or not.
Then we have 1 QB (Trey Lance) that is super raw that Kyle will be very reluctant to start. He's got physical skills, and he's a smart kid, but he's a Long way from Prime Time. This team is Prime Time. I think the FO has determined that they are not going to invest this roster in him, and since it will take perhaps a couple of years for him to develop, and then you can't know how far he will come, I don't see him being even the primary BU.
Then we have 1 QB (Darnold) that was also a 3rd overall pick, has immense physical talent, that was a Kyle draft crush when he came out even though he threw too many picks at USC, he's been with crap teams and coaches in the NFL, and, surprise surprise, he's still thrown too many picks. Kyle thinks he can work with him and get him to let the plays and our playmakers come to him. I don't know. But I wouldn't bet the house against it either. I don't know about the house, but I would bet Kyle's going to have more confidence in the 6 year veteran he's worked with than whatever experience he can find in the magnifying glass in Lance's resume.
Here's the deal. Kyle has always preferred to go with two QB's, and put one on the PS. I know, I know. Don't even say it, because I don't believe Kyle and John are wired like fans. For a team to use 3 quarterbacks is about a one in twenty chance, and they don't see recent history being their fault, and we have too much talent to protect. With these three, we can't put one on the practice squad. With Brandon Allen, we can. If we can get more than a 2nd for Trey, I believe we will.
