If Fields ceiling is top 5 qb, Ridders is Brad Johnson.

Ridder is close to his ceiling, Fields is digging holes to see how far from the ceiling he can get.

I don't see Fields ceiling that high. To me he's got a 6 year window where he can do some things with his legs and then he may as well retire or be a backup to a qb like Hurts

So who wants to lose more? The Vikes or Bolts. These teams seem to want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory more than most.

General thought so far this year is Houston might've actually gotten it right with Stroud as QB1, regardless of it being owner meddling or not. Might be a more contested AFC South than most assumed.

He has a cannon and amazing scramble. He can't diagnose a defense and has accuracy issues.

His weaknesses are all mental, so if he resolved that stuff he would be elite. He has sooooo far to go with it though.

Nice hit on Ridder, he coughs it up and Detroit wins. Lions over .500 is like seeing an eclipse or a comet.

Stoud being successful throws out a lot of what Ive seen over the years when it comes to QB scouting. At some point, its just random.

Damn, what a punt for the Jets after the safety. Backed the Pats way back. WOW, got to give him a heck of a lot of credit there

Is Carr hurt or benched?
Hurt shoulder early in the 3rd quarter... After first series, Winston has come in and that's when GB made their move...

Stroud has been better than expected. I think Bryce Young has been set up for failure he wishes he could be in Fields shoes for the extra support.

I can see where it is a legit way to measure success but Stroud throws a gorgeous ball man. Marino was a tard on Wonderlic (not saying he's Marino) but sometimes talent just Trumps all.

My favorite comparison for him pre draft was Jared Goff with wheels.

Yeah, Strouds eyeball test is pretty good. Its just usually when a QB is just alright and then has one really awesome game Im pretty sure most of those guys bust.

Tank Dell succeeding, on the other hand, reconfirms a lot of things that are easy to replicate. He was tearing it up last year.
