Paxton Lynch Plays Today at 11 am

[bayeslife]

I'd still maintain that it's a hard sell with your team to draft a QB in the top five knowing that the fanbase may not seem him for 2-3 years. Ideally, if you can get someone in the Wentz in the second, I think most people would rather see this scenario.

Lynch is actually perfect in this scenario because he's the most raw out of himself, Goff, Wentz, and Cook. Need a full year to get his footwork and mechanics corrected, but he's easily the best prospect.

Lynch is like this year's Winston where everyone goes OMG STATS and thinks Goff/Mariota is a better prospect.

I dont think anyone said marriota is the better prospect. They said Winston was an idiot and not worth the risk.

 

[jordan4vols]

Can't judge by one game. Have always wanted Goff over Lynch and I could be way wrong years down the road but I don't think anything from their bowl games has changed my mind. Goff has looked much more impressive

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Paxton doesnt throw with the laces, one of the few that doesnt.

Like Aikman

 

[JW82]

So that makes him a better prospect than Goff who does not have to work on his footwork or mechanics? Jerry...Is that you?

Lynch is dripping with raw talent so yes it would. That's why Winston was taken before Mariota

The leap from top college ball to the NFL is a gigantic one. I don't want to risk a top5 pick on someone who MIGHT make that leap.

If either Goff or Lynch get drafted by Dallas, he will not sit for 2-3 years. It is a pipe dream to think that Romo will go through another season without getting hurt. Either of the Qb's , if drafted by Dallas will make their NFL debut in their rookie year.

He's the #1 QB prospect in the nation

There are a whole bunch of qbs dripping with raw talent that are not in the league for long. Give me the guy who throws with accuracy and has great mechanics and pocket presence every time.

 

[Plankton]

If it were me making the choice, I would take Jared Goff over Paxton Lynch. Just a personal preference.

 

[Nightman]

He's the #1 QB prospect in the nation

Based on his size, his arm and athleticism. But every scout will tell you he is far from a finished product.

Can he make the switch to under center snaps and he learn the progressions and reads?

And that would be dumb. They should go out and get a legitimate b/u QB in FA and if drafted, Lynch/Goff should be the number 3 QB. That would give the team the best shot to win now and maximize the future of the franchise. Either one should not see the field for the 1st year unless it's an emergency.

Name some

Comparing Lynch's situation to Winston's is pretty out in left field.

 

[Sydla]

Name some

Jamarcus Russell.

David Carr.

Just two quick ones off the top of my head............... guys drafted high with great raw talent.

Lynch is easily the scariest prospect in the Top 10. High reward but massive amounts of risk. Any time "the best QB prospect" in the draft needs to refine his footwork and mechanics, that should send up red flags left and right.

 

[chuch]

Comparing Lynch's situation to Winston's is pretty out in left field.

Seriously. Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf is a closer comparison (although I don't think Lynch is on Leaf's trajectory)

Ryan Leaf had more tools and the stronger arm and a better QB rating in college.

Not everyone is a Veruca Salt ( I need to see our #1 pick play NOWWWW! ). I'd rather feel good about the future knowing we have a real shot at replacing Romo in a few years with quality instead of trash myself.

Despite Wentz being lauded up on this forum by many, there is a reason he is rated much lower than Goff/Lynch. Doesn't mean he won't pan out, but it's not as likely as Goff/Lynch scenario. And besides, doubt he'll be there in the second for us anyway.

I have to believe JJ will get a vet backup regardless of whether they draft a QB. That would mean having 3 QB's on the 53, but that's the price you have to pay. No way do I think they would draft a player and use him as the primary backup.
