OSU holds on D,that final drive, Stroud likely lifts the trophy.

But his team lost so that means he sucks. By this rationalization we need to sell the farm for Stetson Bennett. That guy's teams beat the poo out of everyone with him putting up big time numbers. Obviously the future GOAT.

Care to elaborate?

Not really necessary, two very different players. I think Stroud is a much better passer

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.

Not really. It's the most important position on the field. If you're trading up for a guy like that he'd better be a difference maker. 

He was up by like 3 scores against Georgia and couldn't seal the deal - that's not a good game to reference.

If you can't see it, writing a bullet pointed comparison is very unlikely to help you out.

But, carry on with whatever agenda you choose to push.

They’re very different. How is this even a comparison other than they went to OSU? Fields has the rushing element and is less polished as a passer. Stroud is mostly a pocket QB and has superior passing stats. It’s like comparing Cam Newton to Matt Ryan.

To you maybe. No one that matters cares. Or Stetson Bennet would be a 1st rounder. 
 

  I’ve never seen this Mahomes prediction but there are plenty of Sam Darnold evaluations on here from you to properly judge your ability to scout a QB. 

That's such a dickish thing to say, but I guess that's par for the course online isn't it.

You did basically cut to the core of what he is trying to get at. He wants significantly less good Cam for some reason.

Remind me, did Fields only play half the season in 2020 or something? Because what I’m seeing is Stroud throwing for A LOT more yards, TDs, with higher avg, rating, similar completion %, and way less sacks. I must be missing something for somebody to call their passing “pretty close”.

[Catsfan69]

Fields can't throw he's basically Mike Vick/The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Stroud can throw but still some doubt about if he'll be Rodgers or Tannehill in the NFL.

I don't want Fields on the Panthers. 

Stroud I think to move up for could be crippling.

Your rationalization leads to drafting Stetson Bennett.

Just say who you like and who you don't because your logic doesn't flow.

Even after that Stroud got them in field goal range with 8 seconds left to win the game and their kicker shanked it like 30 yards left

Did you watch the game? Only reason OSU was in it was because of Stroud. Trying to use that game against him is silly. Yeah it’s a loss, but not his fault and it was against a juggernaut of a team

It’s the truth. No scout, GM, or coach in the NFL is judging a player on the outcome(not their specific performance) of a team single game. Much less those that think Darnold is/was the answer. Sorry about them feelings man…..

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