Yahoo Sports NFL on Luke Altmyer
From the article
Luke Altmyer's interception looked very similar to Dobbs' mistake the previous week: rolling out to their right and throwing the ball back across the middle... To Altmyer's credit, the UDFA bounced back on the very next series. He made some good throws, a balance of quick, decisive strikes to Greg Dortch and Tay Martin, as well as a pass to Lucky Jackson on third-and-9 for 19 yards... Altmyer's second half resulted in another turnover when he held onto the ball too long, a problem that often plagues rookie quarterbacks.
STACKED’s take
Altmyer shows flashes but turnovers and progression issues cloud backup QB evaluation.
Altmyer, an undrafted free agent competing for the backup QB role, had a mixed preseason finale. He opened with an interception on the first drive—rolling out right and throwing back across the middle, similar to Josh Dobbs' mistake the previous week—but bounced back immediately on the next series with good throws to Greg Dortch and Tay Martin, plus a 19-yard completion to Lucky Jackson on third-and-9 that showed patience and feel. He led a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. However, he threw another turnover in the second half by holding onto the ball too long, a recurring rookie issue. Head coach Dan Campbell has emphasized wanting Altmyer to move through progressions more confidently and concisely, raising questions about whether the Lions have seen enough development from the young quarterback this summer.
