Joel Klatt: Justin Fields is just as dangerous as Trevor Lawrence for the NFL.

Trevor or Fields would both be reasons to be excited about our future. 

Like I stated in the thread last night, when someone stated they were "tired" of hearing about Lawrence.

We have to find the light at the end of the shitty tunnel, like Shawshank Redemption. JF or TL are those lights.

I just dont know about fields.  Seems like it may be the system

Every QB is a system QB. Every QB has talents that play well in certain systems and not as well in others.

Labelling QBs that play well in short passing systems as "system QBs" and not QBs that play well in power run/deep ball systems is pretty dumb. Troy Aikman would be as poor a fit for the current Saints' offense as Brees would be for the 90s Cowboys' offense.

He has really high praise for TL as well.

While admittedly not a professional scout by any stretch, I’ve been around the game since 6. 
Trey Lance checks all of the boxes on film. Playing QB in the NFL involves more than physical play, but he has all of the tools and intangibles.

well, I still prefer Lawerence.  The Ohio St thing does sit in the back of my mind.  

But if you watch Fields in college and Haskins in college.  They are very different IMO.  Can't get caught up w/ Haskins' stats.   He had great stats.  Probably better than Fields.  Fields is a better QB in college than Haskins IMO.  Haskins had warning signs IMO you don't see with Fields.

I have him as a close #2 to Lawrence. I really like Fields but I am almost pretty scared of any Ohio St. QB at this point.

Haskins definitely had more of the look of a system QB than Fields did, IMO.

    • Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files was cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!      
    • The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.
    • Lonzo mentioned Melo going to the Clippers, but he also said we would draft Dylan Harper and he isn't making it to 4.
