My significant other would say Dak Prescott.

(I'm not sure I would but I can't say that out loud)

The list can definitely be a little flexible.  A few qb's get on that list for a couple of years, then fall off of it.  I would say that both Delhomme and Cam were on it for a couple of years.  

Point remains though that its going to be hard to get one.

It’s worth mentioning that like Russ and Fitterer, Justin Fields has a baseball background as well. 

He’s an athlete. 

Russell was further along in his development coming into the league than Fields is. If you go back and read Wilson's draft profiles, they are hilarious. Point by point everything you want to see in an NFL prospect but almost all mentioning that he might be too short to play in the NFL. In hindsight, it's extremely goofy to read that kind of stuff. 

I still like Fields but I don't know that I can say he is ready to be a day one starter in the NFL. I think some of the struggles he had this past season with decision making are going to be amplified at the pro level pretty considerably. He just needs some more high level reps to get him there, IMO.

I’m just saying Fields, Fitts and Russ all share baseball backgrounds. Seattle is big on athletics and so is Rhule. There are also parts of playing shortstop that come out when playing QB. It’s also why I can’t see Fitterer and Rhule drafting a guy like Mac Jones.

As far as the other things you said I agree. That OSU offensive scheme doesn’t help either. It was well documented that Haskins needed a year to sit and learn. He didn’t get that which ended up being part of the reason (obviously there’s off the field issues there) he struggled so much.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
