At this point I would refer to myself as a "semi-retired" QB scout since I have produced a ton of content over the last few seasons. I still watch way too much tape, chart and take notes so here is the result: My 2026 QB Prospect rankings

@GrimBurden @JoeA_NFL In my opinion this doesn’t mean he can’t have big statistical leaps as he acclimates to the offense and the offense adapts to him. But ask Mitch Trubisky if he actually improved during his pro bowl season or if he and the scheme just clicked.

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@GrimBurden I think he can absolutely get better at running the offense he’s currently in and likely will.

I think @JoeA_NFL is speaking to the bigger problem of QBs entering the league with set of issues and if they don’t improve on them very early, most of the time it just doesn’t happen

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@MasonYKB That Dak is probably closer to 7 than 9?

Also yes… I see the elephant at the top of the list

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@JoeA_NFL Yep. You can count the QBs on one hand who’ve actually developed in any significant way since entering the league and I think a huge part of this is due to the changes in offensive coaching. It has become much more expedient to scheme around weaknesses rather than work on them

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@ScottKacsmar Such a weird statement here on his part. If 3 peats are the measure then the only person who became the GOAT is Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson is the last guy to 3 peat since Phil Jackson who was the last guy to 3 peat since (checks notes) Phil Jackson again!

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@VinnysCorner1 That’s totally not fair I mean nobody knows anyone who isn’t those gu…..Ray Allen

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@ScottKacsmar Ahhhh who could forget the great Stephen Wade or the immortal Dwayne Curry

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@ScottKacsmar Passing touchdowns in a single season?

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@VinnysCorner1 Two really underrated options here:
Marion Barber and Stephen Davis

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

@Hoopss @BallTalkO Unpopular opinion: I’m taking Reggie here. People today have zero idea how cold blooded he was.

I would totally fine with any of these dudes taking the last shot, but this was Reggie’s whole game

THIS IS AS ABOUT AS MUCH A RED FLASHING WARNING SIGN AS THERE HAS EVER BEEN. LITERAL GOLDEN CALF

And it was presented by a pastor no less!!!

[Pastor Mark Burns @pastormarkburns]

Today at Trump National Doral Miami, history was made.

I was deeply honored to lead the dedication event for President Donald J. Trump and the unveiling of the 22-foot statue created in his honor.

This was far more than a ribbon cutting. It was a moment of gratitude, honor, and remembrance.

Let me say this plainly: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.

This statue is not about worship. It is about honor.

It is a celebration of life and a powerful symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, courage, and the will to keep fighting for America.

It also reminds us of the hand of God over President Trump’s life. We thank God for preserving him and not allowing his life to be taken, not once, but multiple times.

What happened today was more than an unveiling. It was a visible sign of a movement that continues to spread across America and around the world.

I was honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me.

I want to thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who gave, prayed, supported, and made this historic moment possible.

Thank you to the Trump Doral team for your hospitality, professionalism, and excellence.

And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking directly to the crowd. We are forever grateful.

God bless President Trump.
God bless the Patriot movement.
God bless America. 🇺🇸

@Sirgrogshire No my worried about that at all my friend. You overcame so much to get here. Really excited to see what the next chapter brings for you.

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

Really proud of this guy. In a world where all the news is usually bad. Take a moment and celebrate some really good news with me. Congrats @Sirgrogshire

[SirGrogshire @Sirgrogshire]

@firstroundmock It’s a fantastic class and while I respect your analysis (I very often disagree but respect it), it’s wild to just flat disrespect Mendoza or any prospect in this way.

FWIW not sure any of these QBs succeeds with the raiders

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

First time Dallas has ever taken the top player on my board. This must be what it feels like to have a competent front office

There’s no way this guy is human

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

LEBRON STEAL AND GAME-TYING 3 🤯🔥

WHAT A MOMENT.

[Chris Smith | The Unfiltered QB Scout @ChrisSmithUSN]

This is absolutely the most likely scenario. Doesn’t mean a guy can’t dream of adding Jacob Rodriguez today

[Jon Machota @jonmachota]

Inside linebacker is still the Cowboys’ biggest need. But don’t look for them to trade into the second round to grab one. The most likely scenario is now that they trade for a veteran like they did for George Pickens last year when they didn’t get their No. 2 WR in the draft
