The top three all-time college passing TD record holders are Case Keenum, Kellen Moore, and Graham Harrell.

He's not the top three all-time college passing TD record holder. So your point is guys who a good/great in college can't start in the NFL?

The guy was running for his life every play because KC ran out of healthy OL. If he hadn't been running for his life he would've been getting sacked.

Or he could have just gotten rid of the football quickly like Brady would have done in the same circumstances.  But I know...running around and looking for the homerun play every down was the ONLY option.

Yep, throwing the ball away on virtually every down would've definitely been a better option. Brady would've left the field on a meat wagon if he was playing for KC.

Yep, absolutely.

For the record, I've been driving the Zach Wilson bandwagon since back in October. I'm just not blind to the reality that there are question marks.

My bad, I wasn’t insinuating you were or anything, I’ve just read that on here about Wilson a lot, didn’t know if it was being said about Lance as well. I like both QBs, Wilson will be gone by then, so if it’s fields or lance, I won’t be upset about it.

You could make a case that lance played better competition, many still havnt got over his CC game. My issues with Wilson are his size and 2 know elbow/shoulder issues. 

BYU played a super weak schedule this year (they had better overall talent than every opponent along with a good OL and scheme). 

Coming into the season Wilson wasn’t even guaranteed to be the starter.   Better opposing talent exposes a lot of his flaws.   He pays more for throws that really aren’t there and his bailing from the pocket. 

to me he is more of inbetween the 2019 and 2020 player.   Which isn’t what is being sold.

Ill add- every single top 5 QB, when they took the field, only 2 games had less talent than the opponent. One was the OSU vs Clemson, the other escapes me currently( think the other was bama vs OSU). So none of those QBs had to over-come a talent deficiency, each where never tested except in 2 games. 

I was not a wilson fan, so I went back and my jaw got hurt doing the "wOw" face. Hes got some the best arm talent Ive seen. I think the surgeries made him better. He is this years Burrow, about coming out of no where. Youre right about that.

Patrick Mahomes once got a math problem wrong.  Math changed to fit his answer, because Mahomes can't possibly be wrong.

ZACH WILSONQB, COLLEGE PLAYER
zach_wilson.jpg

The Athletic's Ted Nguyen said there's "more of a boom-or-bust factor" with BYU's Zach Wilson than he had expected before analyzing the prospect's game tape. 

Nguyen credited Wison for making reads quickly and delivering throws not many pro quarterbacks could make, but pointed out Wilson's poor footwork and overaggressive approach. Wilson's inconsistent footwork led to many off-target throws in his final season at BYU, even against weak competition. Nguyen said in the NFL, Wilson might not have the clean pocket he had through much of his 2020 season behind one of the nation's top offensive lines. He called Wilson a "project" and said the "team that drafts him will have to be patient and comfortable in its ability to develop him." A willingness to sit Wilson during his rookie campaign, Nguyen said, could aid his development as a passer. Whoever ends up taking a chance on Wilson likely won't be in position to give the QB a red-shirt season. NBC Sports Edge's Hayden Winks has Wilson going to the Jets with the second pick in the upcoming draft. 

How about this:

Trade for Darnold. Put TB in the package to help bring Wilson along. Just make it a straight up trade. TB for Darnold. The end.

You know a debate isn't going well when you revert to stuff like this.

The debate has already gone in a direction that doesn't fit your narrative when you have taken a position that a QB has to run around for X seconds or throw the ball away and there is no solution inbetween.

On the 7th day God rested, because he created Patrick Mahomes.

 Yeah, Mahomes is totally just a guy who has proven nothing at the NFL level and KC definitely hadn't had any injuries along the OL. I mean, it was very weird, right?

      Ex-Panthers great Steve Smith sued under 'homewrecker law' for alleged affair.

      By NAS · Posted

      Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.

      The Athletic's "Undrafted Player to Watch"

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly.

      The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
