Now that's like saying I'm more likely to throw a TD than my toddler, just because it's true doesn't mean it's likely. You just have to hope that whoever we pick, gets the right coaching and actually develops. I don't hate Wilson actually, I think he has some special talent as well. I think Fields is the safer bet in terms of ceiling/floor but I also don't have access to their mental evaluations or character. 6 hours ago, maury77 said: The hot read question with OSU is an interesting one because I didn't see it much on film. The only example I can remember is here at 6:10: Definitely didnt seem like they gave him a hot read our routes when I watched, nothing was easy except for maybe a timing out route to the sidelines. Lots of 4 vert, read the field, make the progression and let it go. The play he literally shoved in the mouth of his TE vs. Clemson, was his 4th progression, came all the way from the right to the left, and boom, TD. So, he held to the ball being held but I think that had to do with, they just expected him to figure it out in the pocket because he's that dynamic. It certainly never hindered his production but I think it would have helped him in a game like NW where he was down some many key players. That said, I think this is an easy thing to pick up at the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence had his choice of quick reads if things got hairy, which is my main concern with him. I see a bit too much of the ghost Darnold "lean back, throw while running backwards" type plays from him. I see some very good plays, but some of those under pressure ones scare me because it can become a bad habit. All of them will have to work on pock presence and making reads. 15 minutes ago, kdels62 said: Yeah that sounds good but that’s not a transferable thing.

It is just easier to see when these guys @win4ever and @maury77 are breaking it down the way they did which was really informative. On the other side when you see these scouting reports on Fields they mostly all read the same: Quote Poor pocket awareness Can get rattled by the pass rush Can freeze when seeing the blitz Must get better at passing in the face of the rush Blitz recognition needs work Needs to check the ball down more Field vision needs development Needs to get quicker working through progressions Limited playing experience; only 1.5 seasons as a starter https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2021JFields.php When you read these things its definitely easy to just go with the narrative. Watched plenty of Fields and Wilson but the only all 22 I saw on Fields was the QB school and a few from PFF/Draft Twitter. But did I like literally watch all 22 of Fields from games and break down plays the way win4ever did up top/Maurys guy did? No. And you really can't understand some of these concepts without it. From what you guys have displayed the negatives on these scouting reports really need to be taken with a grain of salt. Last thought - From what I am gathering from your opinions these deep mesh plays were called bc they trusted Fields and were going for huge gains. Kind of like he was playing in an advanced system that didn't have alot of these check downs as options like some other QB's would have to pad their stats. I totally agree with win4ever thats its way easier to teach a QB to check down rather then teach a QB to be accurate deep. But is there a chance this system could hurt his draft stock? Bc many of the above negative narratives seem to be based on the system they were running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Falcons are going to make a push for 2 though, because both QBs are GA natives with legendary HS careers. I think they will make that push at some point, just not sure the Jets take that risk. I think Sam's 5th year contract will be picked up. At this point, I think part of the blame is at Gade's feet, so I think a team will pick up that option. However, it doesn't help them to compete as well because the rookie QB salary doesn't help them. I think a team like the Bears are a good possibility. They could package Foles with a pick, help their cap, and still try to win now. Yeah it's going to be a never ending debate unless some trades happen.

Bc many of the above negative narratives seem to be based on the system they were running. I use Walter Football like a calendar. When I can't think of a prospect's name, I scroll down their list. The scouting is useless with them. I think the reality is that you have to take any of the main stream reports with a grain of salt because they get paid by traffic. It's much more beneficial to not have a consensus ranking, rather make it as cloudy as possible. Fields doesn't read progressions? Mac Jones does! Who is better? It gets better traffic if you keep coming back for clarity. This is why a bunch of the mock drafts will have wildly different picks. After the draft, very few go back to see who got it right. Everyone just googles "Player X scouting report" and see so and so said he'd be a top 5 pick!!In essence, most basic spread systems have this concept: Find the one on one matchup. A mesh is simply two crossing routes in the same area, which works as a pick play. One of the defenders has to go around someone, slowing them down, thus open pass. The problem is this works great if you are playing a lesser college because the defensive guys just aren't as fast as the guys on offense. When you face a team that can match that athleticism, then you have issues. A good example would be Oregon playing OSU in the championship with Mariota. So the OSU system seems a bit more evolved, by taking away the heavy reliance of quick routes, and installed deeper routes. In this instance, it's not just about matching up one on one, but more into route manipulation. The defense can't key in on one thing, and jump quick decisions, allowing your receivers a better chance to get open. The downside is that, there are plays which take so long to develop, your QB has to avoid the sack or make quick reads. OSU throws in another wrinkle from spread, but I think also used by the Pats in having receiver option routes. So a receiver may have the freedom for an in or out route based on the defense, and the QB releases based on that read. This means you can plug in receivers and keep on chugging. That's why you see guys like KJ Hill or Benjamin Victor do well at OSU, and basically be end of the draft fodder. They are relying on the QB to be consistent in the reads, and it's nearly impossible to defend when executed properly. The downside is that it's heavily susceptible to the blitz, which is what Indiana and NW adjusted. They both got beat down last year, got better this year, and attacked. They would do overload blitzes while dropping guys into coverage, stating the blitz would get there before receivers made their adjustments. This is similar to what Rex did against the Pats at times, he'd attack their weakness and hold them down decently. If they adjusted to a different system, they didn't have a chance, which was why we oscillated between blowouts and competitive games with them. In the NW game, Ohio State adjusted to the run away from the defensive pressure, which allowed Sermon to run wild. The hard part is, as you mentioned, we just don't have the All 22 to see adjustments from Wilson, pretty much just guesswork. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just really odd to see Atlanta send that many people including the owner to a Pro day of a player so locked in for the first pick. I agree they'll be aggressive as you mention. The Falcons know how difficult it is to get those top picks and Matt Ryan is getting cut after this season. The last time they picked this high was a long time ago. They sort of have to get a QB this year. The whole NFL knows this including Atlanta. Someone is coming up to #3 to take Fields/Wilson before Atlanta takes them. That means they are staring at Trey Lance and that kind of sucks for them. So as we were saying I believe they'll be aggressive. They will definitely have strong offers for the 1 and the 2. The question is do the Jets get cute and think they could move down a few slots and still land Fields/Wilson? We prob could land Atlanta's first next year (Top 10 pick) and maybe luck into Wilson? Its Ballsy though and you could get stuck staring at Lance or Sewell. The point is people are talking about moving down to 8. I don't think well need to move down that far unless we want to. We could move down a few spots and do quite well. Ofcourse thats if we wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think on this... No three teams combined that Wilson faced this year were as talented and deep as Clemson!

But they have Wilson as the 2nd best QB just ahead of Fields. The site can be entertaining but they are all over the place and rather inconsistent with their content. Yeah, that site is basically useless beyond the names. 3 hours ago, Shockwave said: Just really odd to see Atlanta send that many people including the owner to a Pro day of a player so locked in for the first pick. I agree they'll be aggressive as you mention. The Falcons know how difficult it is to get those top picks and Matt Ryan is getting cut after this season. The last time they picked this high was a long time ago. They sort of have to get a QB this year. The whole NFL knows this including Atlanta. Someone is coming up to #3 to take Fields/Wilson before Atlanta takes them. That means they are staring at Trey Lance and that kind of sucks for them. So as we were saying I believe they'll be aggressive. They will definitely have strong offers for the 1 and the 2. The question is do the Jets get cute and think they could move down a few slots and still land Fields/Wilson? We prob could land Atlanta's first next year (Top 10 pick) and maybe luck into Wilson? Its Ballsy though and you could get stuck staring at Lance or Sewell. The point is people are talking about moving down to 8. I don't think well need to move down that far unless we want to. We could move down a few spots and do quite well. Ofcourse thats if we wanted to. I think they want to do the due diligence for both of those guys, learn from Ryan in year 1. If the Jets keep Darnold or trade for Watson without the No. 2 overall (unlikely) I think Atlanta is coming with the godfather offer. I'm thinking picks plus Julio type deal. I don't think we're going to go for it, but I think that's going to be the most aggressive team to get to the top 2. It'll be interesting to see what they do, because I don't think they are a major rebuild candidate. Their defense improved in the second half I believe, and if they got better QB play, it could really be a decent team. I think the Jets only move from 2 if they think Wilson/Fields are the same, and kinda taking the risk to see no one jumps ahead of Miami. Although after the Mims trade down last year, I can certainly see JD as someone that might take the risk. Would you? At what pick (or player) value would you take that risk? If this was last year, almost guaranteed they would stick with Darnold and move down. Now, I'm not sure. I think it depends on the value Darnold generates on the trade market. 2 hours ago, Charlie Brown said: Thank you! Quite frankly it is sickening! On a side note -------If Fields had been playing against the Coastal Carolinas of the world, had had a horrible season the prior year and had never faced top tier opponents EVER in college would ANYONE be putting him in the same sentence as a College QB who played against the highest competition and who has stats on par with Lawrence???? Think on this... No three teams combined that Wilson faced this year were as talented and deep as Clemson! Folks are nuts with this stuff.......and I like Wilson but to say that he is BETTER than Fields based upon college tape is preposterous. I honestly don't understand how Wilson got so hyped, playing basically no one. It's like looking at Lance last year and being excited he didn't throw any interceptions against colleges I never even heard of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Random thought of the day. I have a new draft scenario I haven't seen mentioned much but one that I find slightly possible and highly appealing. Say HOU has settled on one of Fields/Wilson as their highly-preferred replacements for Watson. But for whatever reasons, either Watson pushes hard to get to MIA, or MIA offers them a better overall package. Unlike, MIA, HOU might then be motivated to want to trade up from #3 to #2 to complete their draft positioning. Example - MIA offers them some combination of picks/players that includes enough capital for JD to agree to swap positions. This could include a variation of #3 and #35 and maybe a 4th round pick this year, or #3, #50 and a 2022 pick. That move still offers us a trade-down option, but even if we stay and pick a QB, and extra 2nd would be really nice to go with it. It only makes sense if we aren't as locked in on one of the two prospects as HOU would be in that situation. Perhaps one of them is too much of a heathen for Easterby?

I just can’t get on board with “holds the ball forever because Chris Olave will always get open 30 yards downfield” and “throws the ball into tight windows when easier players are open” as positive traits.

I dont think anyone is calling them positive traits, they're just facts, at least in regards to Fields. Wilson threw a ton to his backs and had a lot out bail out routes available, he just plays hero ball, so he's a little tougher to understand sometimes. Fwiw - if Josh Allen can overcome all the sh*t he's overcome to put an MVP caliber season, I'm not worried about an all world 5 star athlete with Ivy league brain figuring it out ie: processing faster or getting the ball out accordingly based on the system. I'd say the same about Wilson but he's more like a 2 star athlete with the brain of a squid, so probably a lot harder for him to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my favorite part of this flag football game he broke down is when Wilson is eating a sandwich in the backfield, skips the wide open come back and starts directing his WR who is double covered to break off his route and head to the pylon. lmfao but yo peeps those stats and that live arm! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean come on. Fields is also never under pressure. Look at that evaluation that ignored the wide open tight end in the middle of the field. I think I’m just sick of all this QB talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Weird. I could have sworn the knock on Fields was how he handled pressure, now he had the same clean pockets as Wilson? Anyway the wind blows....doesnt really matter....just throw sh*t out there and see!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he takes two steps to the right he evaded the pressure because his player gets back in front of the defender and can make the easy throw. He runs into the second guy outside of the pocket. My point is that you’re pointing out a play by Wilson that is praised even tho it is a bad and the same is being true for Fields. There’s a lack of good faith evaluation with these guys and it’s what’s wrong with the QB evaluation at this point. 5 minutes ago, JiF said: Weird.

Literally both of them see pressure at an absurdly low rate. The argument that can be made against Fields that can’t be made against Wilson is that he converts pressure to sacks more than you like and he holds the ball longer when blitzed than any other QB in college or pros.
