Does anyone like this QB class

[CATCH17]

It’s early days but I just don’t like any of these QBs outside of Lawrence.

Fields.. Just plays like Dak part 2...

Lance.. There is some upside but he needs a lot of work.. Release is slow and he likes to pat the ball...

I kind of like Mac Jones. He plays in an optimal situation but he makes good reads and he slides around and moves in the pocket like a pro QB should do.. He’s interesting..

Overall though I’m just not a fan and if we want to avoid the Dak pay day I think another option could be a 1 year deal for a vet like Stafford or Darnold.. Give them half the year and if we are struggling do our best to tank.

We need an affordable option at QB that let’s us add players to the team.

I am with you. The only qb I like is Lawrence and we aren’t getting him unless we get the #1 pick. I would take him if some how we get the pick. I like Dak but think Lawrence has a better skill set and just as good intangibles. Plus he would be on a rookie contract for 5 years.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’m intrigued by Fields.

 

[cowboyec]

not really.
Lawrence is obviously the head of the group.
i do like King at miami and Smu's QB Shane B....can't spell it off memory.
but i'm looking at them for depth behind #4...not as a replacement.
i like Sam Ehlinger...gonna be curious to see where he goes...i like what he's made of.

Fields.. Just plays like Dak part 2...

He's more athletic and a more accurate passer. He's closer to Mahomes than he is to Dak IMO.

Lance.. There is some upside but he needs a lot of work.. Release is slow and he likes to pat the ball...

Now here is your Dak comp. Very similar style and skillset, even down to the slow windup/release.

kind of like Mac Jones. He plays in an optimal situation but he makes good reads and he slides around and moves in the pocket like a pro QB should do.. He’s interesting.

He's Matt Ryan to me. When things are easy, he plays well. I'm not sure he's the QB that can get you out of a jam and carry a team.

vet like Stafford or Darnold

If we let Dak leave, Stafford is the guy I want. If everyone is healthy, he would be a machine with this offense.

I also like Darnold but I'm not sure he'd develop with our coaching (Spoiler alert: I don't think McCarthy or Kellen Moore are any good)

 

[unionjack8]

Fields coukd be atop level player in this league imo

 

[CATCH17]

Fields coukd be atop level player in this league imo

I’m sure he’ll be solid but he’s a well protected 1 read QB..

He’ll be a high end solid QB but I don’t see him as ever being elite..

I could change my mind but he doesn’t impress me much in terms of being a pro..

Good mid round prospect

Fields threw the ball well today. I thought he had more wiggle. I wish a team on the lower end of the draft board could develop Lance. Trask is guy who I think might sneak up to number two.

Stafford’s better days are behind him and he cannot move. Plus I cannot get that horrible game he had against us in 2014 playoffs. He is just a stat passer now.

Darnold, He would be lucky to get to Dak’s level and let’s say by some miracle he became Tannehill in Tennessee, you would have to pay him 50 million in two years plus at least a first round pick in 2021.

Unless we totally fall apart and the Jets some how win 3 games, Dak will be our quarterback for the near future. The irony of the thread is that Darnold like Dalton will probably lead the Jets to the top pick.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Fields does not play like Dak lmao

 

[baltcowboy]

Zack Wilson Quarterback BYU is a player to look at. He is their most talented quarterback prospect since Steve Young.

After Lawrence, its very 2018 for me. It will have several guys go in the top 15, but with mixed results. I do think Darnold can rebound somewhere else

 

[reddyuta]

nope.I like Lawrence a lot,i dont know a lot about Trey lance but i am wary about drafting a QB not from FBS.

 

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

Im good with Fields after watchin his game against Nebraska yesterday. Still rather have Lawrence of course if we wind up with #1, shame the Jets couldnt hold on to that early lead against the Bills lol...

 

[CATCH17]

Lol well..

I say Dak is a more athletic Prescott.. Then this pops in my YouTube feed..

Trying to watch Trask this year.

Athleticism is becoming more and more of a trump card for quarterbacks as the NFL becomes more of a street ball-ish "positionless football" game.

Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, and Lamar Jackson all really sucked with accuracy coming out of college, and there were questions about their abilities to read pro defenses. I watched breakdowns of Allen at Wyoming showing that he didn't even know where to throw hot on blitzes. Hasn't mattered. Allen's been up and down, but Jackson already has an MVP and Herbert looks like the real deal.

In fact, one of my biggest misses in the past five years was Josh Rosen. Loved the tennis-star feet, loved the accuracy, but he was a mediocre athlete overall and panicked when pressured. So he couldn't beat defenses when things went off-script. So he went from top 10 pick to QB purgatory at lightspeed. I don't even know what team he's on now.

That's the long way of saying, I have zero concerns about Fields' ability to translate to the pros. He's a dominant athlete, and college schemes like Ohio State's don't scare me any more. Kliff Kingsbury just beat the Seahawks with his offense.

Trey Lance, same thing. The step up in competition is scary, but Carson Wentz has had a decent career coming from NDSU.

Mac Jones strikes me as a guy who's along for the ride at Bama. Two 2021 1st round WRs, probably a top 50 running back, Leatherwood on the OL... all he has to do is hand the ball off and throw to open dudes. Tua had the wheels and arm strength to suggest that he could threaten pro defenses on broken plays, Jones not so much.

Sean Salisbury said a few weeks ago that he has talked to many around the league and there is a sense that Darnold has the skill set to become a very good qb in this league, top 10 like. He said that people have told him that he just plays for a bad team.

Nice stuff..

Watch more of Mac Jones though.. I'm not sold on him yet.. He's well protected and plays in an optimal environment but he is pressured he slides around and makes plays.

He's not a super athlete but he can move and his footwork might be better than all of these guys.


Fields.. Getting a lot of hype..

For me he likes to look stare down 1 guy. He always throws to wide open targets. It's just to EZ for him at tOSU.


With that said.. He looks like Dak part 2 but more athletic and as all know you can win with Dak.. Especially a Dak that can run a lot better.

Lance I need to watch more but his release and mechanics I do not like right now. But those are things that can be worked on.

i second this. i’ve watch 2 of his games this year. and yes lower competition, but he’s good at slinging it all over the place. can make all the throws
