I wasn’t really asking you to. NFL teams aren’t reaching out to ask me to chime in the way they do with your guy. I was just sharing my opinion. Truth be told, evaluating QB play was not a task I was asked to engage in during my coaching career. I’m pure fan on some thing like this.
It could be the fact that he’s playing behind a plus OL throwing to first and second day picks at WR playing against lesser recruited athletes. I think that’s fair. At the same time, I point to how he played vs Georgia. That’s as close as you’ll come to an NFL caliber defense in college and he was really impressive that night. I think Richardson could have the highest upside in the group. However, I think Stroud is the safest pick to translate to top 15 NFL starter and maybe better.
Autocorrect thinks I am haha.Are you a Wranglers man then?
Damn. Should have read your post first. The Georgia game was telling for me as well in stepping out on calling him the best in this group.
I loved Fields in that draft. I called him 1B to Lawrence’s 1A that year. This is the big year for him. I think he’s poised for a Hurts like leap now that he has weapons around him.

I think his accuracy issues are entirely fixable through footwork. Hurts was also incredibly inaccurate. He went to work with ….get this… guys who are former MLB relief pitchers who have QB footwork down to a science in their ability to teach and drill great footwork habits that translates. The guy Hurts worked with is Tom House

Nick Sirianni Reveals What Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Worked On in California
Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Jalen Hurts spent time in California in the offseason working on his fundamentals and footwork with coaches and trainers.
I didn't see that.
Nothing is set in stone with his guy but in his defense he has been pretty good for the most part in his predictions. Not sure about the last 2 years or so but kinda hard to tell with a short span anyway. Maybe the only misses is Hurts and then Kyler, who started off hot but fell off.
To be fair, we had doubt about Stroud over the years and we have seen the progression but if he doesn't go out and play lights out against UGA...I probably have more concerns. That game definitely changed my opinion some which worries me a bit.
To be fair, he was overdrafted. He was a late 1st at best imo.
