Both played in gimmick offenses. I just read a stat Stroud threw it to his first read more than any QB in the nation 

There are several hundred college football teams.  How could anyone possibly know that?

It has worked out well for every OSU QB in college.

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.

This seems like you're implying that they shouldn't trade up for a QB, but this was not your initial assertion, which was that you don't think they would trade up. Feels like a pivot on your part to bring up Robbie as a slight on Fitt's decision making.

Since we're going to really parse words, how about I just say that I don't think they are going to trade up AND I think trading up is a stupid idea.

And yes, the Robbie contract IS a slight on Fit. As would be the Ian Thomas one. (I keep wanting to call him Ian Anderson... but he wouldn't make a very good tight end, especially at his age.)

Wait people want Stroud over Fields?

 

Im pretty sure Fields would go #1 in the draft given what we know.

 

The people saying Fields can't throw that is a flat out lie. He doesn't have time to read the field because his Oline is the worst in the league. Also who is he throwing to?

 

Chicago literally has nothing around him. Give me Fields over Stroud if given the option.

QUESTIONS:

Would it be cheaper to trade for the #1 or for Fields? How much cheaper? Should that matter?

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. 

[top dawg]

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.

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

Just wait 'til next season.

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.

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?
