This all seems incredibly premature and hyper speculative. 

It is, but on the flip side it gets really boring after the draft.  OTAs will probably be virtural so at best we looking at late July before any action occurs.  

I'd rather do this than talk about potential uniform updates for nearly 3 months.

Not convinced the Jags are worse than us.

I think that both teams are evenly good and bad on both sides of the ball. Minshew and Bridgewater are on the same tier of QBs. Jaguars have as many good players as we do. But I will take our Coaches and owner over Jacksonville. Marrone is a crappy HC since his days at Buffalo. And they have an owner that could easily force his team to tank for Trevor.

But have you seen BLUE helmet?

The Fields we saw play Clemson I want no part of. Fields lacked awareness throughout that game. Missed throws and it wasn’t a good showing.

Same thing could be said about Trevor Lawrence vs. LSU. Everyone has a bad game, especially when you're having to try to force things playing catch up.

Ok.

[Jaxel]

Trey Lance or Lawrence are the only correct answers.

[Varking]

I would love any of the three QBs but thats why I expect Carolina to mess it up.

3. JUSTIN FIELDS – OHIO STATE

Preseason Rank: 16; Week 6 Rank: 4; Week 12 Rank: 2

The season didn’t finish how they wanted, but Fields did more than impress in his first season as the man in charge in Columbus. He finished the year with an elite passing grade of 92.5 after completing 238-of-356 attempts for 3,273 yards and 41 touchdowns against just three interceptions, two of which came against Clemson in the Playoff. Fields was head and shoulders above the rest of the nation in several categories this year, and only Joe Burrow ranked ahead of him in most others. He was just behind Burrow in passing grade on a variety of important metrics (vertical lead, horizontal lead, kept clean, 10+ yards, 10-19 yards and more) but was the nation’s highest-graded passer on pure dropback pass attempts. On straight drop concepts, Fields completed 193-of-270 attempts for 2,556 yards and 33 touchdowns. 

His 24 big-time throws were a near-the-top figure, and his adjusted completion percentage of 78.1% is by far the highest in the country among quarterbacks who averaged at least 10.5 yards per target on straight dropback attempts. He is every bit the downfield, pure passer in the 2021 NFL Draft class, and he should be one of the heaviest favorites for the 2020 Heisman Trophy entering fall camp later this year.

That’s an easy read. If you read most scouting reports they bring up him struggling to anticipate guys being open. That stems from awareness. 

You show one clip. We could go clip v clip all day. 

Coverage is rolling to the right. This wasn’t Simmons making a ridiculous play this was Fields not recognizing it. He doesn’t see Simmons at all. 
 

2:04 - Doesn’t see the safety at all. Should’ve been a pick 6

5:38 - misses window

6:05 - Really nice throw. Throws with anticipation 

There’s a few more balls that could’ve been thrown/got out quicker with the awareness/anticipation piece.

Hopefully he continues to grow and shows improvement in these areas this season.

We could go one clip for one clip but unfortunately you will run out of bad throws far longer than I run out of good ones. Especially if we look at Fields before he got injured. Still graded out as the best drop back passer last year over even Burrow.

Gee I’d certainly hope so if we’re talking about a top 3 pick. 
 

I said he lacked awareness in the Clemson game and it has been stated in multiple scouting reports throwing with anticipation is something he needs to improve on. 
 

I have clearly proved the awareness part in the Clemson game. I never once said he can’t complete downfield throws.

So not sure what you’re even doing here
