It’s fake as in nothing posted on it has any bearing on reality. Just a bunch of random crap. There were a couple threads on here a few months back posting tweets from that account with some kind of big news that wound up being just blatantly wrong.

Also, that tweeter account and the initial post on this thread are two different things. The initial post website is what quoted Person. That tweet didn’t quote anyone it just threw out there randomly with no source attached that we’re high on Jones — the opposite of Person’s quote.

Based on what I've seen and the scouting reports I've read he's my favourite QB in this Draft (closely followed by Wilson [his footwork is a mess]).

He fits really well into what our offence does (short - intermediate throws stretching the field laterally with the occasional shot play to keep the defence honest) - but obviously because Lawrence / Wilson / Fields / Lance are much more athletic than him, the actual QB basics that Jones does exceptionally well are being overlooked. 

If he pans out (which is always difficult to predict), I think worse case scenario is that he's Kirk Cousins. I'd take that.

Beauty is literally in the eye of the beholder. There isn't a perfect QB prospect in the Draft. For me:

Lawrence

  • + athleticism / plus arm / plus mobility / starting experience / unscripted plays
  • - missed reads / inaccuracy (worryingly so at times)

Fields

  • + athleticism / plus arm / plus mobility / unscripted plays
  • - missed reads / v. simple OSU offence (don't teach a lot of concepts you see in the NFL)

Wilson

  • + plus arm (incl. ability to throw from multiple angles) / mobility / plus accuracy / unscripted plays
  • - awful footwork

Jones

  • + Pro ready / good reads / accuracy
  • - average NFL arm / pocket passer / surrounding talent

Lance

  • + athleticism / plus arm / plus mobility / running ability
  • - glaring missed reads / footwork (which got worse in 2020) / surrounding talent / inexperience

 

So it literally all depends on what you're looking for in a QB - 4 of the 5 guys can literally play in any system you want. With Jones he's system specific, but that's not a bad thing.

I wouldn't want to start Lance, Fields or Wilson in Year 1. They're all going to have huge technical / mental things to work on. Of those 3 I'd be most comfortable starting Wilson as a rookie, but his footwork is baaaaad (I finally put my finger on why I'm not overly sold on him!).

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
