Playing with a better supporting cast. McSorley's a better athlete and probably a little more savvy in making reads and adjusting on the fly, but the fact that he actually took snaps in a meaningful game at the NFL level is pretty much a fluke. Like I said in an earlier post, anything can happen if a guy makes a practice squad.
Hack was drafted as an upside project. Tanners problem is I don’t know how much you could “improve” anything vs Hack had the physical tools that people thought they could unleash. That can add to a guy getting drafted
These articles don't look very recent.
Tanner Morgan can be a pretty savvy passer. He shows good control of his offense and understanding of when and where to take his throws. Makes good decisions in the RPO game to slot the ball behind scraping LBs and is capable of hurrying his process here to get the ball out clean. He’s willing to pull the trigger before his receivers are out of the top of their breaks, showing good anticipation for spot throws to hit timing routes and ensure he’s keeping the offense on schedule. Plays with a big-play mentality within the pocket. He’s one of the more aggressive Power 5 quarterbacks in terms of pushing the ball down the field and attacking vertically. Routinely tossed haymakers down the field with confidence despite a lack of high-end physical skills. Morgan has also shown good chemistry and trust with his receivers, insinuating that he’s got the mental capacity for the pro level.

2023 Senior Bowl Scouting Notes: QB Tanner Morgan, Minnesota
John Vogel breaks down Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan as part of Draft Blitz's 2023 Senior Bowl and NFL Draft coverage.nfldraftblitz.com
It’s truly amazing that Tanner Morgan is still playing college football. After a breakout 2019 season that put Morgan on the map, he has since struggled tremendously to put together a complete season. In 2022, we have seen some the composure come back, the ability to operate the offense, and just his confidence to go out there and play football. He’s not anywhere near a perfect prospect, but he looks like a kid who will get drafted late as a developmental guy with experience in a pro system.
Have you compared McSorely's stats to Morgan's?
McSorley did it in three years, so the stats are not really similar. Had 15 more TD passes, seven fewer INTs, and 30 rushing TDs.
That's it? Come on, you can afford to cough up more than that.Y’all read it here FIRST! If TM gets drafted within the 7 rounds of the 2023 NFL draft, I will donate $2,500 to our Gopher Hole
They were all written during or immediately before this season. He's going to get a look. I don't know if anything is going to come of it, but he is good enough to steal a practice squad spot with a little bit of luck. This isn't Leidner where the very idea of it was absurd. He has enough experience in a pro style offense to hang around on a NFL roster.
I mean I agree with you, just answering the question.
Hate to say it, but his 2019 season looks like the anomaly in his career here.
Give me a break, you know what I mean. His freshman year was mop up duty. 98% of his stats were in three years.
Yeah, you're absolutely right about the numbers. I do think the tape tells a more nuanced story. We will know pretty soon if I am wrong though.
Yes. Morgan has a better completion percentage, rating and Yards per attempt. McSorley had a better TD to INT ratio. Their numbers aren’t that different other than the TD numbers.
He was horrible his senior year and was worse than any season Morgan has had. Saying way better is not living in the reality.
Horrible? Seriously? You are delusional. He had 30 total TDs. His senior season passing stats alone would be Morgan's second best season by a very, very long shot. Add in his rushing and it's way better by a lot, without question.
Stats arent everything watch some film, Mcsorley was way better only people on gopherhole would debate that. The skillset hackenberg had made him an NFL QB. If Tanner played in an NFL game he would be so limited on what plays can be called. I don't think you realize the quality of throws NFL guys consistantly make
Is this a troll? Like what?? Name them please
Mac Jones has a marginally stronger arm and is worse in most other aspects. Never sets his feet. Stares down receivers. Has trouble resetting when his receivers aren't open. Rarely climbs a pocket.
No I just know how to look at the numbers. He rushed for a lot of TDs but he also had a completion percentage, YPA and rating lower than Morgan has ever had in a season. 53% completion percentage and 7.0 YPA is bad.
The point was McSorley was pretty average and just bad his senior year yet is in the NFL. My point was to never compare the two directly. More that I don’t think anyone thought McSorley would ever play meaningful snaps in the NFL.
you lose any credibility when it comes to football talk this is so outrageous
