Cotton Bowl tonight: "Kyle Trask can silence any remaining skeptics"

[Jon Snow]

Trask certainly didn't help his case for the Heisman Trophy.  But I wouldn't rule out someone taking him late in the 1st.  There will private workouts for him to keep an eye on.  That could tell you where he may go in the draft more than this game.

Proof is in the pudding. He put together two good/great years without always having better talent than the stiff competition he played against.

Y'all want to use this one game to talk smack. Fields is dropping like I said he would. AND Trask will come up. Regardless, he will be a good/great NFL QB. Give it two years.

As far as COLLEGE careers, he beasted on all those other guys beginning last year as a QB not RB.

The NFL Draft is about projection.

As much as I'm not a fan of Fields, he has the physical tools to be a starting QB in the NFL. Trask lacks the requisite arm strength. Sure, he could develop into an NFL starter, but he'd have to have unworldly anticipation on his throws to make up for the lack of velocity he has. 

Right now I'd guess that he's seen as a Day 2 / 3 pick who's going to be a very reliable clipboard holder with some upside.

Trask was never a day one prospect, and anyone thinking that he's a day one prospect now is being unrealistic! He doesn't have a great arm (just ok), his decision making isn't stellar (just OK, but can hopefully be coached up), and he has limited mobility which doesn't a day one prospect make. This is not what teams will reach for on the first go round!

Your take on this is so unbelievably head scratching. I know we have discussed this before, so I won't rehash and try to get you off this hill you are determined to die on. 

I am curious, however, at your past takes on QB prospects. Any big hits or big misses? I have to believe you had quite a few misses recently given your views on QB prospects. I am guessing you were high on Burrow and Herbert but didn't like Tua? Hated Kyle Murray?
