My boss is a NDSU alum so i have watched quite a few of there games over the past few years i'm not sure i see the Luck comparison, but i do like the Cam Newton comparison
Could it be that the Titans are the winner if Wentz is the clear cut top prospect? It could make that #1 pick easier to trade if they decide to go that route.
I dont know if I'm comfortable with Luck and Newton comparisons. I see Joe Flacco. Big arm, small school, a little bit of mobility but not a guy you want running at the next level.
His running ability is pretty similar to Luck IMO. I don't get the Newton comparison.
Coming out Cam was very similar to Wentz both big strong QBs that would make 1 read then take off running if they don't like what they saw both have stronger arms than Luck too. Luck on the other hand was a very polished passer that could call his own plays, read defense, and get through his progressions. He runs as a last resort not as a first option. Another comparison i like is Wentz to Kaepernick(I think Wentz would do well in a Read Option Pistol)
Yeah, he is at least as good of a QB prospect as Bortles. I think Wentz has a better arm but Bortles has been throwing it around in the NFL so it might be in the same ballpark. I also think Wentz might have a higher football IQ but Bortles was a lot more proven in clutch moments coming out.I only really saw Wentz' bowl game, but I didn't see him as a 1 read QB, but more of a pocket passer that can run when needed. He was manipulating safeties with his eyes even in the Senior Bowl. I think that STILL puts him ahead of Kaep.
Cam has a stronger arm, is a stronger runner, but I think Wentz has better passer mechanics.
So one guy roughly in the Bortles territory and one guy in the Bridgewater territory just 2 years after they were drafted 29 picks apart. You have to figure that the gap has closed quite a bit.
Hue Jackson, Browns using time to their advantage before settling on No. 2 pick
"Hue Jackson emphasized that Browns plan on taking BPA as 2nd overall pick. Also didn't rule out free agency to fill QB need."
WTF does that even mean?
