Can't wait for the more in-depth look, Verge!  Wilson, Lance or Fields will be exciting prospects!

Wilson is somewhat of an enigma that came out of nowhere, but he obviously can play ball. I just hope he lives up to his considerable hype, especially for a team that will expect him to compete day one!

Id add Jones too.  I really see Brady liking him in this system--not to say he will not like Wilson et al better, but...

Please do. And if you’re going to go back a few games to look for bad tape, don’t forget the previous entire year of great tape as well. And don’t forget to include Lances tape from 2020. 

I am REALLY looking forward to breaking these QBs down.

I really, REALLY like Wilson but the one year wonder thing combined with the injury issues (that likely heavily contributed to him being a one year wonder) definitely cause me some serious pause.

Fields literally has the same skill set except he can throw better and has done it for longer. He’s also probably going to post a better 40 time than Lance. 

Fields has the production for sure. He should though, coming from the superior program with markedly better talent. I don't think that he can necessarily throw better; honestly, that remains to be seen. I also believe that Lance might be physically stronger than Fields and is more nifty and improvisational with his legs.

Fields is shorter but weighs more than Lance. As far as talent gap though... OSU doesn’t win the National Championship every year but NDSU basically does. They are far more talented than everyone they play even in the championship games. 
 

I have a feeling these QB breakdowns are going to intentionally exclude Lance’s 2020 game.

Brady has three upcoming HC interviews. He may not be part of this evaluation process and our offense could potentially look different next year.

Correct. Brady isn’t going to be here long term so we don’t need to cater to his wants.

I like Wilson, and, perhaps contrary to popular belief, I see why people would choose him over Lance or Fields (I said as much in a post after first seeing him). The one-year-wonder thing doesn't bother me nearly as much as his injury history. But, as long as his shoulder gets a 100 percent clean bill of health from doctors across the league, I won't think anything more about it.

The only game "tape" that may hurt Fields is the Indiana game this year and Northwestern game last year.  Scouts still love the kid.  In fact there are a few drooling over him because there's a few things in his game that they saw in Mahomes coming out.

I like seeing the good words on Mac Jones. I’ve liked what I’ve seen from him and think he deserves scouts attention. Where exactly J don’t know but he seems promising. Maybe more than a Dalton.

Oh, he's definitely getting scouts' attention. I'm sure every team on the hunt for a QB in this draft is doing homework on Mac Jones. Scouts go a LOT deeper down the list than the media does. That's why virtually every year there are some guys drafted fairly high that have even us football nerds being like...

      That argument could be used for actual trolls. “If you don’t like it find somewhere else to post” is just silly. Some of us are just letting you know, you are sounding like a broken record on these threads. It’s just some constructive criticism. You don’t have to change your ways. I doubt you will. Just wanted to make sure you were aware. Feel free to deflect and use one of those GIFs again.

      It went from he has to jump to he has to bend his hips. That’s changing it. I showed you clips of him throwing deep without jumping which means he doesn’t always have to. I liked and like Stroud better so I’m not really a Bryce defender. Just think you don’t have to make up things when critiquing our QB like he has to jump to throw it deep. There is plenty of ammo there without those exaggerations. Oh yeah the “you don’t know ball” argument. Classic.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By strato · Posted

      I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans.
