You think he's a 4.9 guy? HAHAHAHAHAAdd 0.5 to that time. OSU has a notoriously fast track. But yeah he’s a good athlete. But he was inconsistent as a passer and I think most of the people that love him only saw the Clemson game.

I don’t really see much of a gap between those two guys. One could make a good argument that you should reverse the order. Culpepper’s career didn’t end well, but he’s the owner of one of the greatest statistical seasons for a QB of all time (considering the era he played in).His ceiling might be Dak Presscot but I think his floor might be Duante Culpepper.
Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.
The kid at Clemson, DJ Uiagalelei, might take that spot in a couple of years though.
He has the ability to be better than both.
Yeah. I can't really call it either, but there is just something that doesn't have me that hard in on him, even with his comp % and TD/INT ratio. This is a wait and see when he gets to the NFL. BUT...he does throw as crisp of a ball as I have seen of late. He has good anticipation of his placement, too.There was no doubt Fields was going to look great at his pro day. The guy is a real life created Madden player. Good size, great speed, big arm, completed 70% of his passes in college, etc. The guy has it all. He can do it all. He can make all the throws and he'll be one of the top 3 or 4 fastest QBs in the league from day 1.
But there's just something about him. I can't put my finger on it. I don't know if he's going to be able to put it all together. And it's weird because I think he's a better prospect than most of the QBs we've seen come into the league lately. Tua for instance. I think Fields is a better prospect. Jordan Love, Daniel Jones, Dwayne Haskins, Baker Mayfield, Josh Rosen, etc. To me Fields is a much better prospect than those guys were. Hell I think Fields is a better prospect than Lamar Jackson was coming out of college.
Especially when his HC is on record saying Fields was instructed to make one read and then run...His completion percentage is underrated.
Most people have a hard time conceptualizing that 95% of drafted QBs are bust.I take it because they are the only 2 who check the size/athletic/competition boxes.
That's a valid position when you have those weapons and your QB is 6"3 and 230 with 4.4 speed. Unfortunately, it plays into a certain narrative about football IQ.Especially when his HC is on record saying Fields was instructed to make one read and then run...
This is an interesting take. Why would guys who have to deal with the pressure of being the starting QBs a two of the nation's biggest programs crumble under NFL pressure? If anything it may be the opposite, can Trask, Lance or Wilson handle pressure. I personally think Wentz couldn't handle the pressure of Philly despite his physical tools. Nevertheless, I think it's about where you land and who your coaches are. That's why Niners opening is probably the most attractive.The Qb that nobody expects anything from will do the best....someone who has the most knocks on them. He’s not this or that usually ends up better than the top Qb picks. So probably Trask will end up being the best the best Qb out of this class. Lawrence and Fields will probably crumble under all the pressure while Trask is just chilling and learning with no expectations to save a whole franchise.
same...very leery from the past projects...
off the top....present to past......Haskins, Pryor, Jones , Miller, Barrett ...can go back to Troy Smith, Krenzel, Hoying....
his skillset is similar to the guys listed above which makes sense for the ohio state program.

I really don't understand how anyone can generalized a QB simply because the QB before him. It's almost like trying to discredit Joe Burrow because JaMarcus Russell went there.same...very leery from the past projects...

Are you talking about Tom Brady? That's the beauty of watching players transition from college to the pros, you just really never know. We have come up with these labels of "a bust" or "diamond in the rough", but sometimes it is just a crap shoot. A player's success or failure is not always the best predictor of their future. That is my little nugget of wisdom for the day, but I believe the more picks you have, the better chance of finding some real NFL players regardless of the round!! (In Loomis I Trust!!!)
Not saying he won't be a stud but lets wait until he plays against some better teams than in that video. I mean Notre Dame, Boston College, and Citdel aren't exactly quality opponents.DJ is a dang STUD!!!
He is without question the crown jewel of next year’s draft!
Outside of their first game against Georgia, we will have to wait until the playoffs to see good competition. By that time he will most likely cement himself as the #1 overall pick. Who knows though???? I’ve been following this guy since high school. Crazy talentedNot saying he won't be a stud but lets wait until he plays against some better teams than in that video.
