That seems, at this point, more crazy than Wilson jumping up there. Ignore them then because they're either chasing attention or incapable of evaluating QBs.

I'm not sure why we think NFL teams who take guys like Blake Bortles, Mitch Trubisky, etc. top 5 or pay Tayson Hill $20M a year and view him as the QBoTF are capable of evaluating QB prospects either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, well, that is a fair and valid point. XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody with eyes knows Lawrence is the best QB prospect of the past 15 years at least, and yes I'm including Andrew Luck in that. There's plenty discussion rn that Fields could be right there with Lawrence as QB 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking Lawrence on pedigree/doing it for as long as he has if I had the choice... but it's close imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSURacerDT55 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Can anyone else sell me on Christian Barmore? I watched his cut up from the Ole Miss game this year and was not impressed at all, is he another Alabama hype guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool beans bro, the same can be said for someone doesn't think a player can't continue to ascend as a player and can reach that level Edited November 10, 2020 by MSURacerDT55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think it's possible to love both Lawrence and Fields as prospects. To be honest, I think that both have their strengths and flaws. Lawrence: He has about everything you can want out of an NFL prospect, and is one of the best prospects to come out in my lifetime. He has ideal size at 6-6 and 220, arm strength, accuracy, is a plus athlete, a great pocket presence, poise and patience, and a very clean throwing motion. That said, I've seen him get a little locked onto his primary target from time to time and show reluctance to get to a second read, which behind his OL, he has the luxury of doing at the college level, but won't in the NFL. He did struggle in the first half against OSU until Shaun Wade was ejected, which eliminated an elite slot defender/push safety from the game. After that, he looked like he did throughout his career, but the tape in the first half leading up to that didn't lie. He was slow to process and identify coverages, and never found his rhythm. Fields: Good size at 6'3 and 220-225, coming in at a leaner body type with a diet change this year. He's got elite accuracy (only 11 incompletions this year, several of which have come from drops), a very good arm, is an elite athlete, and as a whole takes great care of the football. This year thus far, he's done a better job of going through his progressions and navigating from within the pocket as opposed to dropping his eyes to run like he was more prone to do in 2019. He did throw a couple of costly INT last year against Clemson and wasn't as accurate in that game as you'd like to see, but he was also playing on an injured knee and couldn't step into as many throws. The bottom line is, Fields doesn't have nearly as much experience or film on him, and he is still very much progressing/developing into that elite prospect, whereas Lawrence has been there for longer. Both are absolutely elite prospects. Lawrence will go #1 overall, but someone is going to be absolutely pumped to get Fields at #2. I think that both are going to have fantastic careers in the NFL as long as the team they go to doesn't ruin them with awful OL play and/or coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
