More Cowbell Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 1 hour ago, TuscanyTile2 said: There's definitely some truth to your criticisms of Peyton and Marino but they're still top 10 of all time and we'd still have loved to have had them, no? Also, we have no idea yet if TL or JF are going to be "big game QBs" in the NFL either. And fwiw, Marino does have a famous clutch pass against Georgia (2:35:23). So if you want to say that a QB being heroic in a big college game is significant then how do you reconcile that play against your comment that Marino "never lifted that team and his teams were stacked". (I'm not a believer that those teams were stacked btw. And Duper and Clayton were far more products of Marino than vice-versa). Honestly, I want Mahomes. I want a guy that comes in and lights it up and leads you deep in the playoffs out of the gate. I am tired of this wait and see bs. I know a lot has to do with the organization and that is why I don't think we have to have a QB because this team is shot full of holes. To answer your question, I would love to have a Peyton or Dan but that is more because of the terrible QB we have had. It would be progress.

Basically he was getting the Darnold treatment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Denver's defense was a good..but Manning played an incredibly smart game and scored when he had to. He understood he had a great defense. But if you watched the game, every time they went down - Manning countered. When they had a lead he bled the clock and didn't take chances. He was a game manager. He didn't win it.

Trevor Lawrence could lead his team to 13 wins a year for a decade and only won 1 Super Bowl. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t great. Playoffs are 1 game samples, in college the represent a game between two similar level opponents, in the pros the gaps are minuscule and less telling. Ok, Never mind then. It's ok if the guy gets us 12 wins in the regular season and loses in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields is now the best prospect. Why doesn't the Jets front office just use their heads for once and stick with Darnold instead of going after the latest shiny toy just to make the fan base happy. Build around Darnold and give him a smart and unpredictable system to play in and he'll be better than both these guys. He'll also show how much better he is than Tua and Allen. People keep talking about how good Allen supposedly is. If that's in any way true Darnold is the man to take him down, not yet another overhyped rookie Sorry Mrs. Darnold.

Sanchez 2012 had no team around him and you threw him under the bus and ran him out of town.

HawkeyeJet Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 There can be a happy medium where Lawrence is still a very good prospect worthy of the #1 pick and people acknowledge he's never been the flawless spam dunk prospect he's been made out to be.

rangerous Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 there have been plenty of qbs that have lit it up in their respective conferences. it seems nearly every year a qb comes out that has broken this record or that record at the school he's from. sometimes it's meaningful but most likely it's all about the rest of the team and the play of the other teams in the conference. i don't think there's enough in last nights game to knock down lawrence. the phrase bigtime qb has been thrown out but you still have to grind out the 16 game season before getting into the show. i think i'd rather have the qb who is consistently good game and game out, and doesn't lose games by turning the ball over. lawrence seems to be checking all those boxes. fields too but it looks like he has a dominant team.

Beerfish Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 2 hours ago, FidelioJet said: He threw for 400 yards. His defense let him down. He fumbled like 3 times, threw one pick and should have picked a 2nd time. Also the yards seemed to mean nothing for his backup when notre dame beat clemson. He played okay but only okay, the words can't miss, generational has been hung around his neck. He's a good QB prospect and will be selected 1st overall. He is not a must have prospect.

If he turns the right way, the handoff is successfully executed and Sanchez is nowhere near Moore. Instead Sanchez panics and plants his face in Moores butt.

This. Except there are no “happy mediums” on this board. I have been watching Clemson all season since this board declared him the second coming, but he never impressed me as more than a good college quarterback on a great team. If we got him I wouldn’t complain, but I’m not losing my mind because we won a couple of games. Personally, I like seeing my team win. Build a team around Darnold and let’s see what happens.

It's always the same here, everyone was drooling over Lawrence until the Jags won the first pick, now those same people are saying Fields is the best of the two. A smart GM would ignore the fans and build around Darnold. I guarantee he ends his career with more success than Tua, Allen, Fields or Lawrence.

Maybe, but somehow, I doubt a head coach is going to want to tie his future to Sam Darnold, nor would JD want a potential repeat of Darnold playing like this next season. It's JD's time to shine now, and I doubt he'll want to bet on Darnold. Likely odds are Fields or even Wilson will be the pick as of now.
