As a PSU Alum I've always rooted for the big red dog. I was hoping the Steelers would draft him but they were too much invested with the Kenny Picket boondoggle. The Packers are a good spot for him, I wish him much success in GB.
Brian Gutekunst came out and said that he wanted to add another quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft, and the Green Bay Packers landed a steal in Michael Pratt falling to round 7. Michael Pratt will compete with Sean Clifford for the 2nd string backup job. We have quarterback competition and it’ll be very interesting to see who will be our 2nd string quarterback. Sean Clifford has the advantage of spending a year in Green Bay, but Michael Pratt has exciting upside and should make the roster. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
@@driftlessman2094 Well Michael Pratt and Sean Clifford will be competing for the 2nd string quarterback spot so yeah I think we’ll keep all 3 of them active.
The Packers have kept 2 QBs active in recent years, and are expected to do the same this year. Whoever doesn't win the backup job will be on the PS and not active. If Pratt clearly outperforms Clifford in camp and preseason thus becoming the backup QB, then I expect the Packers to try and get something for Clifford and let him go to another team where he has an opportunity.
I think Clifford could be one of those guys like Brunnel or other backups that eventually get traded to possibly start for another team. He looked good last year when he played.
I'm excited to see Clifford and Pratt play in the preseason. Thought Clifford played pretty well last year, and I, no pun intended love his gunslinger play style. Doesn't have the arm of Brett Favre but has that same mindset and style. He uses his accuracy over his arm strength I've noticed. He fit it into a few tight windows last year for either TDs in the redzone or big gains. I said he was a steal and now we have another potential huge steal in Pratt. Guy was very productive and successful in college. Heck, he beat Caleb Williams haha 😄
Without a doubt Clifford is the incumbent backup. He’s like having an extra coach around. He has commanded the huddle in pro-like college offenses. He’s been part of a scheme in which, on any given play, there might be several targets in play and he’s made some good reads and good decisions. He has enough arm strength to make most, if not all, of the throws in the playbook and he doesn’t suffer from any accuracy issues With the Pack’s talent and coaching, he can definitely develop into a starting caliber QB.
I keep reading from some people that Michael Pratt has a weak arm, but Pratt averaged 8.9 yds per passing attempt in 2022 (Led the American Conference), and averaged 8.5 yds per pass in 2023. The weak armed QBs don't have that high of a number. Sean Clifford's best year was 8.3 yds average per passing attempt (2019), which isn't bad, either. Michael Pratt thrived on long passes in his last two years in college. And he was accurate w/ a passing completion PCT of 65.4, and had only 5 INTs, in 2023.
IMO, Sean Clifford's comp is Don Majkowski. Like Majkowski, Clifford doesn't have the strongest arm, but he is very good at improvising. That's one of the reasons why Majkowski was called "The Magic Man".
I'm a big #4 fan and he does remind you a lot of how Brett played, he is not afraid to take chances to find an open receiver for the big play down field, nothing wrong with that, That's what I want to see in a back up quarterback, plus the kid is not afraid to scramble when he needs too.
He looked just as good as Love last preseason imo. Even Love commented that Clifford picked up the offense quicker than he did. Clifford will get his chance someday somewhere and I believe he will shine. Nothing against Love but the Packers are blessed to have a great QB room
I like him too What many spectators don't realize is that Cliff meets the minimum threshold of being 6'2," so he can sit in the pocket and see his guy down the field. He also has some weight on him. You never want your QB to take a hit in the pocket but if he does, he has to have some weight to absorb a hit. Clifford weighs 218ish according to the Pack website. He also has a 4.5 40 time so he's mobile. He has qualities you'd look for in a starter.
How does Pratt have a weak arm? Pratt thrived on long passes, especially his last two seasons in college. He was first in 2022 in Avg Yds per passing attempt w/ 8.9 yds in his conference. He averaged 8.5 yds per attempt in 2023. Clifford's arm isn't as strong as Pratt's arm. Clifford's best year was 8.3 yds per passing attempt (2019). Pratt was also more accurate in college in his last 2 years.
@@SokemRokemRobot yard per attempt doesn’t define my argument… even the experts say he has a weak arm…. Not good velocity on his balls, he can’t fit passes into a tiny space outside the numbers… watch his tape, 95% of his balls have air under them…. He doesn’t throw darts and Clifford 100% has a stronger arm!
@@andyadams7806 Try watching the games yourself, and stop trusting the opinions of "experts". The experts don't even agree with each other. Pratt thrived on long passes, and he was accurate (65.4% w/ only 5 INTs-2023). Pratt's 8.9 and 8.5 average yds per pass has everything to do with how strong his arm is, and his accuracy. BTW... long passes usually have air under them. The weaker arms wouldn't ever have those numbers. Pratt made many amazing passes that were completed in "tiny" spaces. You don't need to 'zip' the ball to prove you have a strong arm... that's not Pratt's style. Pratt was projected to be drafted in the 4th RD and the 5th RD by different sources, but he was drafted in the 7th RD... which proves the experts don't agree with each other. I rarely saw Clifford throw the long pass because that would go against his strength. And Clifford's darts are no more impressive than Pratt's darts. I like Sean Clifford, too, but I can be objective about this.
@@SokemRokemRobotI never said the man was trash… I figured he’d go in the 5th. He has little zip on the ball which hurts for over the middle throws. Nobody is gonna convince he’s better than Clifford RN…. No way
This was a nothing burger. What do you expect to hear from a guy who’s a QB coach? “Oh that guys trash and we hope the rookie can beat him otherwise we gotta sign a veteran free agent. He as his work cut out for him and I doubt he will impress anyone cause he’s a loser. I still cant fathom that this guy is a top 60 qb in the world. He sucks.” I really hate parts of offseason news cause guess what, it ain’t news. It’s lip service. A big nothing burger.
@@SokemRokemRobot 🤦🏻♂️ wow. Ok 😂 Either this is satire or you just made yourself look like a fool. A 4-3 defense is 4 defensive lineman, 3 linebackers (2 OLB, 1 MLB) hence 4-3. After that you have two corners and two safeties.
Clifford is potential trade bait if Pratt also shows up preseason. I would think that a team like the Raiders or Saints would be interested in trading as high as a 3rd round pick for Clifford.

He's the qb whisperer, so you have to listen carefully to hear.
No one gives him credit but he's probably the best qb coach the nfl has ever seen just tell me one coach to make two hall a famer back to back!
@@jimbobhootenanny4440 we'll wait 😎😎

I liked Clifford last preseason. I look forward to seeing Pratt this preseason.
That's all they will ever be depth pieces
@@Love2Musgrave So... you're a psychic?
I've watched Clifford all throughout college I'm telling you man he'll make mistakes sometimes but he is an absolute DAWG!!@

SS has some of the best off-season content. Keep up the great work!
Tom Clements was a good QB and a great QB Coach. Sean Clifford might be the next Zeke Bratkowski.
Clifford always seemed super attentive and involved on the sidelines last season. Love to see that from our back up.

Sean Clifford will be a top NFL QB! Watch
Only a play away from being the starter on every play of every game.
There's a big difference between Farve & Clifford..Clifford studies..
And Clifford's arm isn't near the same strength as Favre's arm, and Clifford will never throw as many INTs.
"Just trying to make a play." -- Brett Favre after each of his 336 career picks.
Also one of the greatest to ever do it.
@@patriot4christ204 Indeed. The man threw many a beautiful pick.
Favre picks were beautiful

I think of the ‘90s, when at one point, the Packers had Favre, Brunell, and Kurt Warner on the team - an embarrassment of riches!
It's too bad, Kurt Warner never made it pass pre-season w/ the Packers. Someone really messed up on that one.
I'm a big #4 fan and he does remind you a lot of how Brett played, he is not afraid to take chances to find an open receiver for the big play down field, nothing wrong with that, That's what I want to see in a back up quarterback, plus the kid is not afraid to scramble when he needs too.
Matt Flynn situation I'm positive of it. He's gonna go in and play lights out and teams are gonna want him. He reminded me sooooo much of Brett
Pratt has a Battle for #2
Hey Bro!
he did have a better or was having a better preseason at that point than Jordan. thats no exaggeration a few pack fans did agree with me at the time.
I'm curious about Michael Pratt and how he's going to do
Clifford looked great last preseason. He has a lot of zip on the ball
He looked good. Saying he was great is a big stretch.
He looked just as good as Love last preseason imo. Even Love commented that Clifford picked up the offense quicker than he did. Clifford will get his chance someday somewhere and I believe he will shine. Nothing against Love but the Packers are blessed to have a great QB room
He's not Favre, but I could picture Clifford becoming a Drew Brees kind of quarterback.
Didn’t look so good against the cowboys.
@@tomcollins5112 Even in his dreams, he'll never be a poors man's Drew Brees.
