Best Traits: Deep-ball placement and strength, ability to see the field, play under pressure, underneath accuracy

Biggest Questions: Level of talent around him, lack of starting experience

Scout's Take: "You have to worry about the talent around him, especially last year, but he throws a beautiful deep ball and I love his toughness and moxie." — NFL quarterbacks coach
 

jones does everything we don’t have, and haven’t had for yrs.....sounds perfect for us

This can’t be. Someone in the CBS mock thread told me that Jones has problems with the deep ball.

That ship has sailed.

And if you've seen him play this season, it sailed for good reason.

It's all relative. He has a lot less than Jake, but more than Teddy.

I'm not even sure "moxie" adequately describes what Jake had.

I well remember watching him get up from the cheap shot Lance Briggs gave him and tear off a rant that Samuel L Jackson would be proud of.

Medical stuff is really difficult.

What people originally thought was going to be a six-week recovery for Newton basically ended his season.

On the flipside, lots of teams who thought Drew Brees' career was over back when he had a shoulder injury are probably kicking themselves now.

That kind of stuff is damn near impossible to predict.

Thought that too...

You can look at other teams that have West Coast systems though. For example, they mention Wilson as a guy who'd look good in Kyle Shanahan's 49ers system. Shanahan runs a WCO like his dad.

I just gotta throw this out there, "'I don't run the freaking West Coast Offense,' Shanahan explained, except he didn't use the word, 'freaking.' He used a different word we can't print.'

 

Anyways, I disagree with this article. Fields has pretty good arm strength. BYU doesn't have a "backyard football" offense. Even so, people praised Roethlisberger for doing that for years.

Trey Lance’s comp to Lamar seems ridiculous to me. I don’t see the similarities as a runner or passer.

Yea... I don't want to take a chance at this juncture .... dude looks like gumby and could snap like a twig if Chase Young hit him..

I remember that from Shanahan. Thought it was amusing.

Heck, his dad was one of the better WCO coaches in the league.

I know he's probably bigger and thicker than he looks to me, but when I watch him he reminds me of a high school kid.

Definitely have concerns, but will get on board and hope for the best if the Panthers take him.

Yep....very good point.
