I don't listen to Kiper or McShay. They routinely mess up QB evaluations. Chris Simms is my go to for QB evaluations and he has said routinely that Fields is the #5 QB that has issues with mechanics and decision making. Considering Simms track record, people need to take him serious and put their fandom aside. If Fields busts, a lot of people will get fired for taking him too high.
Wilson under throws and plays risky hero ball. It’s cute in college but against pro-bowl ranked defenders?... he has some impressive angled arm throws that no one else is throwing but again it’s just cute little flea flickers. Dude be lookin like this ☺️ after every throw like he just beat his little brother
Half of these qbs will be busts just facts
It's not an african american thing. Looks at Kellen Mond. Unbelievable discipline and a QB I think will have success at the next level.
The am guy
Yup and a sleeper
Better release too
Yea and he has an better arm then justin fields
Everybody got Lawrence in the HOF already
@Paid Tourist The point is everybody ignores Lawrence’s flaws like he’s has none
It’s ridiculous
@Paid Tourist doubt it luck wasn’t and wouldn’t be and neither will he. I think him and luck were both Phillip river tier QBs. I see fields being better because he’ll have a better coach and organization along with the fact that he’s more talented all around. But just lacks in read progression. If he’s with Belichick omg.
But what if he is a future Hall of Famer tho? Then everyone would be correct and you would look like the blacksheep lol
4 experts who never threw a football in organized game. Absurd.
So only a chef knows if food taste good? Only a fast runner knows if someone runs fast? your logic and argument is dumb
Remember jimmy clausen???? Or how about Brady Quinn,I do!!!! I don’t listen to nun of these clowns about drafting qbs
Tim Couch
Zach Wilson is gonna get annihilated smh. I feel sorry for the kid.
That's the reality for most QB drafted in top 3. The team they get drafted sucks. Now at least the Jets have more draft capital to support Wilson.
@Paid Tourist Sam darnold was making the same throws as Wilson it’s the team not the qb but you never know
He will take the Jets to the playoffs
What Max is saying they're using new code words the old code words working anymore Michael Moore said it's our time to rule the party over the party over
Stephen A Smith your opinions don't count. All you know how to do is throw brothers under the bus.
They overhype quarterbacks every year..it's all to promote the nfl draft
@Paid Tourist The league didn't even give Russell Wilson a first round grade, which is why he fell to the 3rd round...thanks you just proved my point...most of theses first round qb's that these "analysts" project become bust and most of the best qb's come in the later rounds
You prolly said Josh Allen, Carson Wentz, and Russel Wilson were all overhyped put of college too lol
Does anyone actually take Mel kiper seriously anymore
He knows more than the 2 dudes next to him if anything 😂
@theocratickingdom30 I dont take non of them seriously anymore
More than the two clowns 🤡 to his left and right.
Why he’s spitting facts
They shouldnt
Keep hating on Justin Fields he's going to be the best QB out of all of them. GUARANTEED
Yessss
@Lavon Story I’m a Florida man and i think he’s definitely at least the 1b at QB. They’re playing in my boy face and he gonna kill em
Coming from a florida fan 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
He is pretty trash
Nope he sucks
Falling for Wilson’s hype will cost a team fields
Fields is poo
I hope fields is the Jets pick, but that being said, they probably screw it up and get lost in the hype.
Wilson 11td 9int last yr Fields 43td 3int last not Comparison Jets Pass up Wilson he overrated He rank 5Qb He Injured Prone out Shoulder injured
Max Kellerman doesn’t know anything about football or sports! He’s a hype beast analyst.
Lamar jackson last pick. Drew brees 2nd round
Everyone sleeping on Kyle trask, he’s gonna be something special
@1 go watch Trask's pro day and try not to puke
He wasn't that good. My dead grandma could have put up those stats with that offense
OU
He sucks
Stop it, he got shut down when they didn't have Kyle Pitts
This guy should lose his job
lol who said it was
