hurts, 25, Trevor Lawrence 24,
you're such a pro. You mentioned toward the end of
the year analysis of Lawrence. A couple of names are going to
see coming up. Yeah, here they come. All right. Number 23.
What do you got? Justin feels 23 Chicago Bears. I'm in.
WoW, Justin Fields. Wow, you want to talk about another guy
that really, you know, maybe crapped on me a little bit last
year. They'll be Justin feels, and I'm happy to say it from 39
to 23, 49 to 23. I just get the feeling that he
impressed. You more in Chicago, then he didn't come.
Um, he did, he did come. Yep, because I think first off
the things I questioned about his throwing,
you know, which is, of course, to me is big
man. He he basically said Chris him. Shut up. You don't even
worry. Look at this, her spiral here. It's on target. It's
pretty good Rhythm. Boom. You know,
he didn't overthrow all year. That would be the first thing
I'd say. Like, I think, when I go back and think about Ohio
State, when he overthrew, he lost control of the ball when
he smooth, and he keeps his arm a little bit more compact. He
never loses control of the ball.
I mean, When there's a lot of wow with Justin Fields, I think
that's where you get a start. We got to start with. Wow.
I mean,
he made a lot of wow, plays and
not just with his legs because his legs are gifted. And he's,
you know, as athletic as anybody in the sport as far as
the quarterback is concerned, when really he's up there with
Lamar Jackson, as far as the ability to run and like, wow,
factor running the ball,
but I think the thing I'm most impressed by and going back and
watching the sun. Wow.
Damn. He makes some wow throws every
Yeah, every game and I think that's where I went man.
Okay, Justin Fields with a bit more of a polished passer,
a little bit more control with some of the
down the field. Wow, types Rose. And I gave him credit for
and didn't have the greatest offense or support system
around them. And that's where I give them. A lot of credit.
They're the I think they're in OTAs their intersection where
media is around them quotes are coming out every day. New head
coach, Maddie bird flu said,
first of all, he throws a great deep ball. He does gonna do
that quite a bit. Well, you see? See Ryan. Yes, and I also
thought aloud - right. Yes another wow. I mean get him
outside the pocket. I
don't run. Let him move in. Like I thought last year they
they didn't do it. Do it often. Right? So if you have a head
coach at recognizes you can throw the hell out of it, down
the field. And boy, I'm going to let him get out, run around
and mean
the potentially showed your one. Yes, but he might be in
a better spot in terms of what they want him to do. I don't
disagree with you there and I think like to your point with
the running to where you and I think got frustrated.
A bit last year's not that we wanted to sit here and see him
run 20 times a game, but we were like but a tour of
an albumin of just to just to help the offense out, help him out.
Scare the defense, make them play a defense for. They going
to worry about him running
to where. Now makes it nice and easy for a throw or something
like that. That's where I think you and I were frustrated.
Yeah. There's a few games. We came away and were like
do they know they have the second fastest quarterback and
football and they didn't run one pipe. You're not calling
plays Randy right here, right? Yeah, exactly. So that's where
it was frustrating. I would expect that.
Part of the offense to grow.
And Hey, listen, Maybe it. Maybe if I was going to stick
up for Chicago because this is something I wrote down to is
I was just writing some point sound. As you know, maybe they
were a little scared protecting them.
If there was a negative about him last year
is just puts himself in danger a little too much.
You know, they just sometimes you get tackled, four, minus
one in the NFL Justin fields that just,
you know, don't don't try to break the tackle break
somebody's ankles and now you got seven guys, flying at you,
who are all trying to kill you. Like sometimes you just gotta
know when to hold them and want to know when to fold them and
I'd like to see him
know to fold them a little bit more at Cleveland nine sacks
news 625. That's right. And that was also one of those
games where you go. That was one of those games for sure. We
got they don't, they don't have one run for the guy. It's
Cleveland
and they're fast as hell, and they never did anything to keep
them off, balance the whole game. So but that was one thing
that protect the body a little bit, you know coming back again
being nitpicky.
Can he still stay on receivers a little too long at times?
Yes, I think a little bit of this is Trust. In his arm, and
his deep ball, a little bit. You know, those are the things
that I came away looking at a little bit to go,
man. I'll get off the post route. He's he's not open
the krauser coming across as wide open. Get off it. It's
the third hitch, all that. There's that that too. But damn as
a whole it was a positive again, really for for these rookies.
I think they
were it was all positive
and I know people are going to sit there and go. Wait,
you know, you're
you're talking about these guys and
do their stats weren't as good and their team.
In go. The playoffs. How come they're rated in front of Jalen
hurd's? And I'm going to go one.
Don't all he goes, fans would be more excited if these guys
were there, starting quarterbacks going the Year,
too. So don't try to play that game to me. I mean if Trevor
Lawrence or Justin Fields with the quarterback going to your
to Philadelphia fans regard, we going
to the Super Bowl this year.
I mean so relaxed, like I because I know I'm going to get that.
All right, and yes, I'm playing a little bit of the
okay, potential growth factor that I talked about at
the start of this race. There's rankings. That yes,
traditionally. I've been too low on these guys.
This is the year. You see tremendous growth
and a jump off spot and we saw it with these guys towards
the end of the year to make me think. And I know from people
around the league that these are smart guys. They work hard.
So I have the confidence and
giving it, the little bump,
let alone. I think that that their, their ability to play in
the pocket, and make the rose
and the Windows and consistently do that. I think
is better than Jalen hurts
right now, right now.
So that's why I'm here
and that's why I got them in front of them. So I think
I think it's an automatic to kind of take take the group that
we're talking about and connect them together. You talked about
the comparison with Jalen hurd's. People going to bring
it up of course,
but he's just ahead of Trevor Lawrence. Yes, who went ahead
and last year, right? Why do you see? See Justin right now
is just a little bit better than Trevor. I think it's
the word of consistency that you and I used
to when we were talking about Trevor. Lauren. Yes, I think
it's a little bit of that. I honestly thought Justin fields
in the pocket. It was a little bit better, you know, of
course, we know once he gets out of the pocket, he special
that way. And that's a big question. He had
to answer because I remember sitting right here, a year year
and a half ago and it was like he missed too many short
throws. Yes of the long motion, huh? And he tighten that hate,
tightened it up. He did and then I think within
the consistency of the throwing,
you know, again and have you watch,
you know, throw for throw
you go, Justin Fields controlled the ball throughout
the You're better than Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, Trevor
Lawrence. I mean, you're going to yeah, you got some games
there. Where you go. Damn. He's you know, he's 64 15 and he's
thrown some balls that. Yeah, he lost control of and
you could see it the boss fluttering or whatever. Yeah,
and you know again that there's too much for my liking but
that's where Fields I think was a little bit more consistent
and better that way. And that says, I mean that what you just
said, I
mean, I said earlier, he goes from 39 to 23, control the ball
more often than Trevor Lawrence did. I mean, that's, that's why
he Jumped up 16. Exactly and surprised, uh, definitely did
I think with all these guys I want to tie in the team around
him
as they head into the next season.
They lost Allen Robinson. I mean, I think it's very fair to
look around him and be like, hmm. Uh-huh. I don't know. Be
a little scary. You look at The Playmakers around him. What do
you think? Yeah. I look at it right now and go.
I think out of all the rookies that were drafted in his class.
He's got the least support system around them.
I do. I mean, again, Zach Wilson the Jets when there
LT. That's going to be pretty good.
No, Trevor Lawrence. Like we just talked about. I mean, what
they did this offseason? This gonna be pretty good. Yeah,
Trey lands of the 49ers. I mean, come on. They're
the best. Maybe the best team in football completely, and then,
you know, Mac Jones,
even though it might not be Superstars. There's a lot of
good across the roster there. Yeah, so might be last by
a significant but significant amount. I mean we're talking
about. Hey, Cole, combat. Good tight end. We know he's legit.
Yeah, I like Darnell Mooney a lot. Yeah. Elder Elder. Darnell
Mooney yet Mooney. I don't know why I was going to say. Daryl,
Daryl Mooney and take a look. There used to be a
but yeah, then after that we're getting into David Montgomery.
Some slightly and David Montgomery. Certainly but Slim
Pickens. As far as you know receiving Zoo receivers go and
that's why I think you're hearing of the
kid. They drafted out of Tennessee, Vilas Jones right
there. He's making some noise, they're going to, they're going
to probably have to depend on him to make some plays for
their offense this year,
right? All right.
