2.09 San Diego Slewage - QB Christian Hackenberg

In the real world: Here's the story: Promising quarterback prospect plays well under one college coach and is heralded as a future NFL franchise quarterback, but is inconsistent, holds on to the ball for too long and takes too many sacks, and ends up falling to the halfway point of Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Sound familiar? It should, especially to anyone who drafted Jimmy Clausen six years ago. Hackenberg looks the part with his size and his arm, but as Sigmund Bloom says, "His accuracy comes and goes in an unsettling way." Nolan Nawrocki: "Prone to emotional sideline outbursts and bad on-field body language and could learn to channel his frustration more effectively." After a great 2013 season under Bill O'Brien, Hackenberg didn't fare as well under Nick Franklin over the past two seasons. In fairness to him, he suffered behind a patchwork offensive line that included two converted defensive tackles. Pocket awareness and accuracy are question marks.  The Jets drafted him in Round 2; their only other QBs are Geno Smith and Bryce Petty (and that's assuming they don't re-sign their best QB from last year, free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick).

In the TUFF world: The Slewage already have Joe Flacco and Andy Dalton, two steady if unspectacular QBs, but that doesn't stop Todd Hansen from stockpiling younger signal-callers. Flacco and Dalton should buy plenty of time to find out if Hackenberg can be the answer for the Jets at quarterback. San Diego also has two second-year QBs as well: they drafted Brett Hundley in Round 3 last year and later signed Garrett Grayson as a free agent.
