I wonder what the Jax jags are thinking about now ....

[quote=skinsfan69;1271208]You can not judge college QB's by past players that came before them. If you are watching the OSU Clemson game it is clear in this game who the better qb is.Not saying Fields is better but he is better tonight and it's not close. Fields has flat out dropped some dimes tonight.[/quote]

You sure you didn't mean "you shouldn't" instead of you can't? Sounds like you are telling me what I can't and can do lol But getting back to the stat's. This is just my opinion backed up by statistics. Can Fields be the real deal - obsolutly he can but odds are not in his favor...

Lawrence is a great QB. BUT a lot of his "greatness" has come from rolling up big numbers against competition that was totally outclassed by the Athletes Clemson put on the field. But when he has been in the big games against pro-level competition, his body of work is not so shiny. He will still be the Number One pick int he draft. But tonite's game shows he has some warts.

Always loved the “experts” drooling over his 4 TDs in a half against The Citadel....🧐. Obviously he’s a really good QB, but the notion of tanking for him two years in advance is a little over the top.

Re: The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread
 

And don't judge Fields by the body of work from other Ohio State QB"s. He is on the same level as Lawrence. Those two have been ranked 1 & 2 for practically their whole lives as athletes. And they are now both 1 and 1 against each other.

But perhaps the biggest difference between Fields and past OSU QB's is Ryan Day. Ray does not run a college "gimmicky" kind of offense. He develops his QB's inside of a program that uses a NFL style offense. So I think Fields will enter the pros with a different kind of mentality than previous OSU QB's.

Lawrence is still the no brainer #1 pick

It ain’t close

Re: The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread
 

I agree. But I think it is closer than it appears at first blush.

Roullier resigned to 4 year deal, one less hole to fill

Good. I hope that's the first of many more to come. Scherff, Darby, Sundberg...

Re: The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread
 

So if you're the Jets do you take Fields at #2 or stick with Darnold and address other needs?

If they take Fields, presuming the projections see us missing out on a top QB prospect, maybe go after Darnold after the draft when he's likely 'cheaper' to obtain? Bring in someone like Tyrod Taylor and have them compete?

Again, this is just on the assumption we have little or no prospect of a franchise QB when we pick AND we don't pay over the odds.

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;1271200]Mac Jones is really really good.[/QUOTE]I like Mac Jones... I'm kinda leaning toward wanting WFT to draft him late in the first if he's there. I have a feeling he's going to rise up draft boards though.


And get this... Our offensive and defensive leaders would be... Wait for it....

Mac and Chase

I'd give Darnold 1 more year with a real coach. They have the number 2 pick and a shit ton of cap space. They can improve the offense drastically if they draft well and sign a couple guys. I think they'll definitely sign 1 of them big FA receivers.

Re: The Too Soon 2021 NFL Draft Thread
 

I hope we draft the best QB still available with our first pick.

I am not convinced Alex Smith will come back next year. My impression of Allen is that he’s probably a journeyman but a decent backup QB. I’m not sure about Heinickle except that he has potential even though he is “short” at 6’. Let Heinickle, the rookie first pick and Allen compete for the QB spot.

Until we get a very mobile, franchise QB, we will not be able to balance our excellent defense with an equally good offense.
