I am all for drafting a great talent at QB. However, I think this is the wrong year to draft one:

Caleb Williams basically folds whenever his receivers cannot get wide open, and he doesn't have all day to throw. He also has a bad attitude.

Drake Maye cannot throw against a decent defense. He cannot win big games.

I would rather keep Fields, than draft either of the 2 QBs. I really see high bust potential for both these quarterbacks.

These threads conveniently pop up every time a highly touted QB prospect has a bad game.

Pretty funny.

I... Can't... I can't... Is this a troll? It's just kinda sad.

[–] theBIGspread@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Welcome to r/toxic …where not having a franchise QB has turned us all against each other.

Go ahead and downvote me :)

[–] youngster_joey69420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is literally insane. Watch ball.

[–] YeetStreetBoys@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bo Nix is going to be the best QB in the draft. I just pray he doesn't end up on the Packers like I think he will.

[–] Tedy_Duchamp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This sub has gotten beyond the pale stupid. I can’t wait till this season and the draft is over so we can all shut up

[–] Unabridgedversion82@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This year might threaten the record of 6 QB's drafted in the first round. Two bonafide prospects, Caleb and Maye. Some slightly older, but maybe more pro ready and polished Penix and Nix. Then you have Shaduer and JJ, who are younger and can use their legs but might need more polish. There is literally somethin for whatever you fancy. Yet "this isn't the year to draft a QB." Jesus tap-dancing Christ.. When might you reckon would be a good time, if not now, oh Magic-8-Ball-QB-Whisperer-Jesus?

Yeah none of these things you just posted are true

Or is it because your racist?

He has 3 years of film at Auburn.

Carson Beck is on track to break every QB stat at UGA and he’s not even registering Heisman hype because there are so many good QBs in this class, probably gonna return another year to raise his stock

[–] Affectionate_Tap5649@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You don’t know that 😂

[–] jaydeezy0615@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Keep Bustin Fields? He’s gonna be here no matter what. You can still draft a QB this year and Bustin has no choice but to compete cause he’s only on his 4th year next year. Pick up his fifth and then ship his ass the following year after your rookie QB sits for an entire year.

Isn’t Duke a good defense?

[–] Any_Mathematician756@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this guy trolling?

[–] RicardosMontalban@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s just not how it works when you have 1 overall and need a QB.

[–] obi-1-jacoby@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

While it’s certainly true that concerns about Caleb Williams and even Drake Maye have presented themselves this season, they are both still probably the highest rated qb prospects we will see in the next few drafts

[–] checkthamethod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a lie. There will be stud QBs that will show up in every draft. When TLaw and Fields were prospects, they were considered the QB best prospects in a while, especially TLaw. Hell that whole draft people thought was deep at QB. Nobody on here had never even heard of Caleb Williams and Drake Maye. Same shit, different year

[–] obi-1-jacoby@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This argument may be valid for Drake Maye, but Caleb Williams has been on the radar for years. It was a huge deal when he decided to transfer to USC because everyone was trying to get him. He’s been made a way bigger deal than even TLaw.

I agree that every draft will end up having stud QBs, but in terms of rating the prospects before anyone actually knows how good they will be, you’re almost never gonna see a guy as highly talked about as Caleb Williams.

Up until this season, which he has suffered some tough losses, demonstrated some obvious flaws, and has had concerns with his character brought up, he was the most hyped prospect I have ever heard of (again, not that this translates into the NFL, I’m just saying you are probably not going to see a qb met with his level of glazing by scouts for awhile)

I personally don’t like Caleb as a future nfl qb, but a lot of people who know a lot more about football than I do seem to think he’s that guy

The posts on this sub just keep getting dumber and dumber with regards to the draft.

[–] ArtMorgan69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for letting all of us know to never value your opinion ever

[–] wrong-teous@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Every fucking Saturday with this shit

[–] guyincognito121@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, we should have drafted Stroud, about whom there were no questions. I'm sure there will be more of those next year.

[–] Draker-X@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"Caleb Williams and Drake Maye cannot win college games. Therefore, we should keep Justin Fields, who has proven in his three seasons that he cannot win NFL games."

[–] GoldenDude@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

ain’t no way lol

[–] JakeLake720@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

QB evaluation is a crapshoot. No one knows until the guy plays on Sundays.

[–] Foxstarry@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My issue with Caleb right at this moment is the possibility he just quit on his team today. I hope I’m wrong and it’s more of a “I’m done with the HC” thing, but even that looks bad.

[–] MrGerb1k@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everyone outside of this sub says this draft’s QB class is deep—then you come here and it sounds like it’s worst class in a decade 😂🤣

[–] Paran0idMan33@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This sub is really high on Michael Penix and Jayden Daniels. It’s such a Bear thing to be enamored by less talented players. Except for Justin Fields, future HOF QB.

[–] No-Extreme6970@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Critical-Adhole@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Caleb Williams is the future

[–] Harambefan69@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Blows my mind that people are giving up on Williams/maye but willing to stick with fields after he’s played poorly for 2 years

[–] Thexnxword@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Caleb and Drake are amazing talents, tons of potential. Justin has plenty of talent and a ton of room for growth.. no one knows who will have the better career or if any will lead us to a SB. Fields doesn't cost much for 2 years, so there's no rush. But they could be great and there's no reason to take that away from them in my opinion

[–] No-Association7719@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is quite literally the best year to draft a QB

[–] KenoshaHatTrik@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s why Bo Nix is the answer
