Trey Lance will realistically be within reach

here’s a good breakdown 

their nfl comp: Steve McNair

Irony: Early in the video, you hear the announcers say he had a chance to sit behind Easton Stick and learn the QB position.

That was a good breakdown. 

I like his footwork and the fact he has played under center. He has a huge upside.

Does that make 3 QBs in a row?

Wentz, Stick,Lance?

[Jared Patterson]

Once again he is a redshirt sophomore....will he for sure come out??? Someone with knowledge of the situation please give me an answer?

[RockyTopVol]

This guy should be #2 on our board...yes, ahead of Fields. I'm a fan. 

[Soul Rebel]

I am equally happy with Lance as Fields, though I am a Fields fan first from his time at UGA. 

No guarantee he comes out, but he should def be in the conversation.

Some analysts have him ahead of Fields and I've seen comps to a more accurate Randall Cunningham. Watching several cut ups of him.... I totally see it and would be happy with it here.

From another thread on the same subject.....

 

Great deep ball, very good runner.  Only spot I worry about is what Teddy is doing very well.  The crossing patterns of 10-20 yds.

Agreed that he needs to sit a season IF we think he can run Bradys offense.  I like him ahead of Fields for long term but behind Lawrence at this point.

[Chief Keek]

I would take Lance  before Fields just because of his upside. I believe his ceiling is higher than Fields.

I’ve said it a couple times already but if we draft him I’d sit him for a season or two, let teddy play out his contract and mentor, build up the oline and give him a chance to work on the finer points of the qb position. In everything I’ve watched he rarely had to throw the ball into tight windows because he literally never had to. NDSU is just too dominant in that division. 

His arm is crazy. Throws 50 yard tds effortlessly and can run and scramble and throw the ball from different angles but he needs nfl coaching in practices and preseason games until we put him out there. I wouldn’t rush him.

This. 

However, I do not see the Panthers guaranteed to be in play for Lance either--New York Jets, NY Giants, the Bengals, Jacksonville, and Philly are nearly locks to have worse records than we do. ( Philly is pretty bad--losing to Washington by 10, tying the Bengals, and losing to the Rams by 18---yikes. Aside from playing the Giants twice, they have a tough schedule--I could see them going 3-12-1.)  

So imagine this:

1. NY Jets

2. NY Giants

3.  Eagles

4. Bengals

5. Jags

Miami and Denver (Miami owns their pick) and Minnesota, Detroit, and maybe Atlanta--could threaten to break into the top 5, but the way it looks now--current record and schedule, they won't.  We need to root for the Eagles, Bengals, and Jags this season if you want Lance. (Of course, he is young and not playing this season could drop his stock--a player like Newman could muddy the waters.)

I read an article recently that said Fields has the upside--that when he was at Georgia, he could not pass with any accuracy and that he has improved 200%---said he might be a better pro than Lawrence.  (I disagree--but fwiw).

Said before, I'm just not convinced that Lawrence is going to be as good a pro as he is a college player. I'll probably get ripped for that but that's my feeling.

The others I don't know as much about yet.

Funny how the QB thing has played out:

A five-star recruit from Georgia selects Clemson over Georgia.

Haskins beats out Burrow at Ohio State--Burrow goes to LSU.

Fields then goes from Georgia to Ohio State, where he becomes a stud QB.

Newman goes to Georgia from Wake.

I am so confused.

If we don’t land one of the top 3 qbs this draft I’m going to be very worried about our future. I would trade up a bit for lance. Nothing insane but to move up a couple spots I would do it.
