Mahomes bought time with his legs then absolutely killed us with critical plays at critical times on critical downs and game situations

I just rewatched the Alabama game. I'm not going to lie. I know he got injured and toughed it out. But man that does not instill confidence. Some of those throws were off and he looked really confused.

Who are you talking about?

Fields. I was really impressed with his heart and effort. But there were some plays that left me concerned.

Go rewatch Peyton Manning play against Florida in college and see if any plays would have concerned you about him.

I'm hoping this young man is like Lamar Jackson. Cus this is who we are picking

Lamar Jackson rushed for 1000 yds as a freshman and 1500+ the 2 years after that. Fields has never rushed for more than 500 yds in a season.

1 I'm hoping neither Lance or Fields are anything like Jackson and 2 I know for a fact they're nothing like Jackson. They are much advanced better passers already and Jackson is in a different breed of running anyways. I would hate to have a qb like Jackson anyways, at the end of the day I want my qb to beat you consistently with his arm and not be f**ked when they're down multiple scores

Fields winning the Elite 11, where QBs are not allowed to run, is all the proof you need that he is nothing like Jackson. Lance on the other hand, played much more like Lamar in college.

Explain what you mean. I'm sure Shanny and Co. will go over every bit of his tape.

Yes please explain...

I went back to rewatch the game and he looked way better than I originally thought watching the game and way better than his box score showed.

But Fields did have 12 fumbles, so there is that.

How does that make him like Lamar Jackson?

To me the biggest difference between Fields and Mac is Fields could have a bad game passing and still beat you in other ways. And what if the Niners suffer some injuries and they need their QB to carry them? What if the defense is on point and our Receivers can't get open on that particular day? What if we need our QB to buy some time for our receivers to get open? We can't always depend on Kyle to scheme our guys open. It's not that easy. We have to remember that defenses have a job to do also. Mac Jones is not going to be playing against those Edge rushers and Dbacks he played against in College. And the coaching is also way more advanced, The game planning, scouting, and everything. Mac's limited athletic ability scares the hell out of me. Putting all our faith in his football IQ to make him a top 10 QB is not what I want to trade 2 future 1st RD picks for.

And that's what most of us are hoping Kyle finally sees, that guys like Fields and Lance can beat you when things aren't going perfect and even when they're struggling passing or oline is being garbage they can beat you with their legs at least

yeah, just like the last Super Bowl when Mahomes scrambled and won...wait, never mind.

Unfortunately Kyle saw first hand what Mahomes can do in a SB. Mac Jones doesn't make that 3rd and 15 play. Fields may.

Ok, good thing he isn't available in this years draft.

I don't think that dude meant what he said to be a bad thing. But clearly anyone making the Lamar Jackson comparison doesn't know what they're talking about.

You do realize the only TD that Mahomes scored in the 1st 3 Quarters was his option RUN that was set up by his scramble on 3rd and 11 where Ward blew him up right? Not to mention he scrambled for another 1st on 3rd and 9 where Bosa almost sacked him and he scrambled for 16 on a 2nd and 19.

But yeah, Mac Jones could have done all of that as well.

I know a lot of people knock his performance in the Chip but fields was obviously playing injured. His ribs or something were def broke . Must of had some serious bruising too.

I like that trait a lot. I think by the time the chip rolled around, the injury was prolly around its height of pain cause it was healing - when it first happens you can usually use adrenaline to get through it - at least partially (which I think showed in the Clemson game).

I'm definitely warming up to fields - I gotta say, it would be wonderful to have a QB that can throw dimes all over and burst for a quick gain like Wilson does. If he can be 3/4 of what Wilson is - we would be in great shape.

I don't think he even did too badly. They were simply outmatched.

Ohio state is one of the only rosters that rivals Alabama's talent wise, to me the glaring difference was the quality of coaching from Day Vs Saban. Day is still riding high from the recruiting and culture that urban built and I would be willing to bet that if urban was calling that game - it would of been much closer.

back to fields - he made some really nice/touch throws at the end of the game.

The 2 most impressive throws of the last Superbowl were mahomes incompletes. He was able to do this with athleticism & arm strength. Should've been TDs too but we drops

I honestly don't think he is a bad athlete at all, he just isn't in shape. Similar to Brady - he isn't a world class athlete, of course, but they are both athletic. Mac is just sloppy and needs to get in better shape. Mac jones ran like a 4.7 - that isn't something a non-athletic person does.

Compared to other QBs in this class he's not athletic. Jimmy G is more athletic and you saw he did very little to threaten the D. Not to say he never did, but no one had to plan for it. No one has to account for Mac Jones athletic abilities. That's what people mean

Lamar jackson was never a consistely accurate passer - his college completion rate was garbage too. The reason he had that MVP year is cause he is such an unbelievable athlete. Very few players, let alone QBs, have been able to cut/change direction/stop/burst etc like he can.

because of his special speed and agilities, while defenses were trying to figure him out, he had huge passing lanes all the time. Now he doesn't quite have that and he isn't nearly as dominate. He is also on an extremely well coached team and a lot of talent.

I think Lamar Jackson is an absolutely special athlete and football players, I just wish he wasn't playing QB. He could of had a HOF career as a WR or something.

I don't like bashing on people and rooting against them though, so I hope he has a great career and proves me wrong.

I think Lance is by far the biggest risk and project out of the top QBs. That guy is so damn raw it is crazy. Super talented but extremely unknown, especially coming from a small school. I Hope we take either Fields or Mac, QB wise.

at 12 I really was hoping for Najee Harris.
