I watched Stroud keep OSU highly competitive against a significantly superior UGA team. Period.

Seems like the goalposts of rationalization move based on whether or not you like a prospect.

"Significantly superior?" I don't know about that, and I'm a Georgia alum.

Honestly, I would take either with a concerted effort and focus to develop them. I suspect that Stroud is the better processor right now, but I also believe that Fields has a markedly higher ceiling overall. Development is likely the key. Neither one is a surefire bet, but of course Fields has invaluable NFL experience.

Lots of comments about OSU qb lack of success.  But given the Bears luck or lack thereof with qb's, they will trade Fields, pick Young, and then Fields will become a star while Young will be a bust.

Fields already has NFL experience on a bad roster.

 

Put him with a decent roster and he's going to look considerably better than he did last year.

 

Give me Fields all day!

Yeah, UGA was head and shoulders the most talented team in the country this year. Second place was barely in the rearview.

They're the new Bama. Smart is the new Saban. They're killing it. I'm a huge UNC fan but I admit, Drake Maye should've taken that bag. He wins the Heisman and the national championship next year if he did.

Has it? Didn’t realize OSU ran the same system with the same success every single year regardless of who was coach or QB. I completely forgot about all those JT Barrett 4K yd seasons.

I mean Urban, Day and Tressell all notoriously run super QB friendly systems that have not translated into the pros. Outside of Conor Cook and Russell Wilson a  OSU QB has won The Greise-Brees award in the last 13 years, and before that Pryor was making all big 10. What was the last time a OSU QBs struggled?

Maye couldn't even win the ACC lol

 

SEC is a different ball game my man. Georgia would still beat them imo.
