Hudson Card
It’s tough to fully gage Card’s performance as he also had receivers with drop issues and he played primarily against the second-team defenders. His numbers were still solid, completing 15 of 25 (60%) for 168 yards and a touchdown while he displayed his gifted arm talent.

This throw from Card moments before the touchdown pass to Washington is the kind of throw that can win him the job. You have to be able to stick these consistently on third and medium. This play is all throw. pic.twitter.com/JkFnHz5c7g

If there were any issues that Card displayed, it was the sacks. He didn’t have the starting offensive line to protect him, but he took too many of them, instead of getting the ball out of his hands. He was sacked more than Thompson, five to three, and his desire to extend the play could get him in trouble in live game action.
Card took full advantage of his opportunities. Displaying the arm talent that he’s been coveted for since his days at Lake Travis High School taking as many intermediate and deep throws as he could get. If he did anything, he showed he’s got plenty of upside in a vertical offense.
