[@Rudipu]

Just because you need a qb doesn't mean you should take one. Most of these teams that take qbs early would be better off building lines.

[@dtube441]

I get surprised at how many people don't share this exact view.

[@fortynights1513]

Build a line, maybe get an elite target or two, then get a quarterback. Perhaps sign a free agent quarterback to mentor said new player, and let the new player sit behind the veteran for a season.

[@fortynights1513]

Also, side note: The expansion Browns are probably the worst example of this. If I were them, I’d have traded the first overall pick to Mike Ditka for everything Washington asked for and then some.

As a Patriots fan, it infuriates me we squandered jones. Patricia was a stupid call, Joe Judge was a stupid call, and overall, the situation was dropped harder than a carton of eggs.

[@scmroman]

They had a chance to really build behind Mac after his rookie season and fucking squandered it. They didn't bring in any notable feee agents and took back a mediocre defensive coordinator to run the offense.

[@projectflares]

tho mac rookie season was prob the best they couldve gotten he was a higher floor low ceiling safety pick with no arm talent and poor decision making with overinflated stats throwing to all american receivers against inferior teams. While i do think his development was harmed by shit decisions, he was gonna be just a 2008-2010 matt cassel or an alex smith tier qb imo

[@projectflares]

didnt have the arm to compete with guys like allen or mahomes but didnt have the decision making and other assets that were able to to make up for it that allowed elite qbs to get away with a weaker arm which were masked by the playmakers on offense that allowed him to make easy high percentage throws and bail him out

[@GDaddyyy]

1000%. If the Niners picked him, he would have been in the Super Bowl by now. He was going to be good. We ruined his career. Hope he takes Trevor's job.

[@projectflares]

@@GDaddyyydef possible but he’d be a system qb/game manager given lack of arm strength and velocity and brock purdy a better ovr player anyway in terms of velocity and has a stronger arm than mac so idk

[@frenchfrey65]

I've been noticing a trend between College and NFL football, and I'll start with the NFL. NFL has been going HAM on QB's, there have been more busts since 1998 then there were the previous 25 years before 1998, @Rudipu here said it best, just because you need a QB, doesn't mean you should take one. It's more than that though, NFL teams demand youth over experience, even if it means starting rookies with no starting experience whatsoever in the NFL, so many QB's coming out of college need to sit like Rodgers/Love/Mahomes did before they can start, but most of the NFL doesn't have that patience, many of these QB's should be drafted Day 2/3 instead of 1st round, unless your name was Trevor Lawrence (who's getting ruined by a poverty franchise), the Mannings, or CJ Stroud. It's a proven statistic that 1st round QB's are almost guaranteed to not turn your team around in year 1, it's so rare yet teams keep trying. It's almost like the NFL is forgetting it's a PROFESSIONAL football league, and there are veterans that are either already proven, or have sat long enough to be given a shot. There was a 7 year period that was pretty much just that, guys coming out of no where to win SB's vs a 1st round QB on his original team, that would be the SB31-SB37 years, Favre was a 2nd round mistake pick by Atlanta, traded to the Packers, and turned them around, SB32-33 would be won by the only 1st round pick in those years, Elway, SB34 was won by a UDFA in Kurt Warner, then Free Agent Trent Dilfer would win one with the Ravens then be the only SB winning QB to be cut afterwards, Brady's 1st, then Brad Johnson and the Buccs, another FA. The NFL has officially over valued the QB, they're desperate, 23/32 teams last season started a backup for any reason, and it's this lack of patience that is causing it, with all the good-great-HoF QB's retiring, getting injured, or simply declining in their careers, the replacements have not been very good. There used to be a time where trading for a backup QB to try and start him was an option, having tryouts were an option, and while also rare, signing future HoF's who feel their careers aren't over. If the NFL wants to be a competitive league, they need to re-evaluate how to handle QB's, draft them later, sit them while their cheap, pay them if they earn it. Ironically, there is a position imo that will benefit from this, the RB, they may have the shortest term careers, but if more get drafted 1st round, that money goes back up for them, and most only play their rookie deals, it's a win win. Meanwhile, College has been going the opposite direction (even in basketball with Calipari's comments on recruiting and going to Arkansas!), the transfer portal has made it to where colleges are now demanding experienced starters over recruiting 4-5* prospects out of high school. It honestly annoys me, college football used to be where you'd only start upperclassmen if your recruits weren't special yet, but if you had a special 4-5* high school kid on your team as a FR, you'd play him right away anyway even if he never started a college game. Now? like I said, teams are demanding experience... Which makes no sense considering there's no preseason in college and the games are getting shorter now, how is anyone supposed to get playing time now if you're an underclassman? Who needs high school kids when you can lure a star college JR with NIL money to play for you? The irony of this? I haven't seen it work out for some teams (WI, Tanner Mordecai was such a bust imo!), but don't be surprised if it becomes the norm where P4 teams just straight up ignore high school kids in the future and recruit kids from lower divisions. It's bizarre, essentially, my hot take is that the NFL is becoming more like college by going for athletic youth over experience, while the NCAA are going for elite veteran athletes instead of developing high school kids.

[@johndavis9321]

All facts

[@slayermill8621]

One of the hosts on a local sports radio program I listen to made a great point about QB's. He said teams often evaluate them the opposite way from how they evaluate every other position on the team. Teams will evaluate a player's talent and decide if what they do fits their scheme. If a player fits, they get drafted pretty simple. With QB's, teams will overlook glaring weaknesses and focus only on the positive. Your point about the desperation teams have for finding the right QB is exactly why they do this.

[@frenchfrey65]

@@slayermill8621 considering what happened night 1 of the 2024 nfl draft, my point seems vindicated, hell I joked that 7 QB's may go 1st round, and within the 1st half of the draft I thought that joke was going to come true...

This has to be by far one of the most underwhelming draft QB class in NFL history

[@fortynights1513]

This is certainly underwhelming, but 1996 and 2007 would like a word with you.

[@phightinphil25]

This was always a Lawrence + whatever could be developed QB class. Lawrence struggling at times is a huge surprise but Wilson busting isn't. Lance being too raw to play and Fields being all over the place also aren't hugely surprising. Mac Jones is a classic high floor player who required confidence to play like he did in his rookie season and at Alabama and the Patriots completely made him uncomfortable with the new play callers in year 2 and then blamed him for it and apparently he didn't take that well. Essentially there was 1 superstar on paper and a 2-3 more maybes with huge boom and bust potential and then a solid starter with low upside in Jones and literally every single guy has been on the lower end of their individual projections.

[@goblinsarereal4954]

I feel so bad for Mac Jones. I don't think he's awful, but having to deal with Bellicheck just angry panicking that people questioned his actual coaching ability (he's really smart and knows the game extremely well, but you kind of tilt yourself if you listen in on people just saying your entire career was a sham because you had the greatest QB of all time by your side) making some really bad decisions, not to mention the OFC Jones had to deal with (like Butt Chin O'Brien and his dumbass ways, forever mad is Houston for tanking the team for so many years) weren't very good and extremely volatile people. I definitely don't think he's great, but people are going to shit on him for what he was given, and I hope a team actually gives him SOME effort instead of having OFC scream at you for not learning their dumb static plays rather than revolve around the QB's abilities.

[@HelpMeHelpMePlease]

Bro he's terrible. Cut it out.

[@thugger-vandross]

as a washington fan, watching zach wilson’s meteoric rise feels eerily similar to jayden daniel’s. i’ve been following daniels since he was a HS recruit; prior to this season, the very thought of him going 1st round (let alone #2 overall) was less than nonexistent. this video perfectly demonstrates why you should never reach for a qb, especially if you have needs everywhere else. i know it’s impossible at this point, but i wish so badly we would just take harrison jr and continue building our team.

[@clevercode30]

Should've kept howell and continue building the o line. Instead yall gave up on him in one season In which he showed a lot of promise

[@goldenstatewarriors9418]

At least he won the Heisman which adds some value and is a much better dual threat than Zach. Saying picking Wilson makes no sense isn’t even a hindsight take, people were confused about it even at the time that he went #2 overall, and said he was the most likely to be a bust.

Trey Lance got absolutely wasted in SF. It sucks he never really got a chance, getting benched and then injured when you finally get on the field

[@choiyatlam2552]

He got yanked because Brock is way too good. I weren't that mad at Kyle Shanahan on the pick, 2,3 jet-chip wasp and Jimmy G overthrowing the deep pass in SB54 probably haunted this man. He wanted an upgrade on QB, to swing for the fences, similar to the Alex Smith-Patrick Mahomes situation. However, I believe Kyle was too adamant on his system, unlike Andy Reid who caters his system to a young QB. As a result, Lance wasn't a right fit for Kyle. Then, he stumbled across Brock Purdy who is the perfect fit for him, thus Lance was traded. Lance untimely injuries surely didn't help, but ultimately, it was just a bold gamble that backfires.

[@RAPIDFIRE0024]

2021 class needs to be studied on how much hype this class got just to fall off the face of the earth only a few years later. I just hope this upcoming class isn’t like that because I really hope all these guys make a great career in the league

But it didn’t at all look at this year Williams is Lawrence (both will be long time starters) Daniels is fields an athlete that threw to wr corps better than any nfl team McCarthy is Lance looks good on an all star and not asked to do much Penix and maye are Wilson although I think Penix is better and has a shot Bo nix is mac jones a scheme qb

[@johndavis9321]

​@JJ-zr6fu you honestly nailed these lol Daniels too me is a rich man's fields nice arm great athlete but tends to rely on the athleticism too much and when he runs/scrambles tends to take a lot of hits and as a runnin QB you can't get away with takin those constant big shots outside the pocket unless you have Josh Allen cam Newton size which Daniels doesn't maye is a kind of hit or miss for me I could sein potentially bein the best QB of the class or a bust depends where he goes I would honestly like for him to go somewhere where he can sit for a year or two I agree with you on nix he can be a good maybe even great QB but he has to go to a team that schemes to his strengths phenix I kinda whatever on borderline superstar level arm talent he legitimately is one of the best deep ball throwers I've ever seen but he's older has just meh pocket presence and has had a lot of injury issues the one guy I'm an really high on tho is McCarthy I think he has superstar potential if he goes to a team that's patient brings him along slowly allows him to sit 1 preferably 2 or so years I think he could end up being special and of course williams is gonna be a beast a lot of the off field stuff gave me a bit of cause to pause but his talent is ridiculous

[@folumb]

That year for QBs has really showed me how little ANYONE knows about them. The best run NFL system according to some (49ers) drafted Trey Lance. The football savant Bill Bellichek drafted Mac Jones, the can't miss player of the generation Trevor Lawrence has looked average. I was not different because I legit thought every one of these guys would be amazing. I can't pretend to know anything about 2024 draft. For all I know every one of them could be a bust

[@JJ-zr6fu]

Bill belichek is officially the most overrated coach. If he didn’t have Brady he’d be a dc. Mac jones and Lawrence were my two top and thought the others were busts. I think both of them will have long careers as starters

[@phightinphil25]

@@JJ-zr6fu Jones needs to find his confidence and Jacksonville needs to stop being Jacksonville. I actually think if Lance can end up as a backup again he could still become a starter again provided he doesn't get injured the week after replacing the starter. He has looked the least bad (in a very limited sample size) despite the lack of experience of the the high upside and low floor guys, it's a long way back but I feel like his projection is more interesting than Wilson (solid bust) and Fields (likely Jameis Winston at best just more athletic).

To this day it annoys me to no end that anytime people talk about Zach Wilson, they feel the need to mention the fact that he played a soft schedule his junior year. When you bring up Trey Lance, who played fewer games against worse competition, no one brings up the soft schedule. Wilson went to the absolute worst place imaginable, a bad team with no o-line, a defensive head coach, and gave him an offensive coordinator who rode Kyle Shanahan's coattails, only to replace him with a guy who rode Aaron Rodger's coattails. He never should have gone that high, balling out during his pro day may have been the worst thing he could have done.

[@TransNFLGirl]

As a Bills fan, I feel so bad for him. Especially after this year. He showed real improvement, but it got ignored cuz of turnovers. He coulda had the chance to sit behind Aaron Rodgers and learn to have better short and medium accuracy. When he was drafted, he was put into the WORST situation you could IMAGINE. He had absolutely NOTHING. I hope if he gets traded he fins success.

[@phightinphil25]

I think Lance hardly playing football and yet still looking decent every time he does is why he gets more benefit of the doubt than Wilson who has played plenty and still mostly looks bad.

[@Aaron-kj8dv]

Against the Chiefs in the Div round Jacksonville were Ref-Balled out of the game. The Jags were ripped off in that game and the Chiefs shouldn't have that 2022 ring. That one is on the NFL. And, not one NFL related TV, radio, podcast or KZbin channel wasn't saying this after that atrociously referreed Div game. Jacksonville should've at the very least been given the chance to play against JUST the Chiefs. Playing against the officials, and by proxy the NFL, as well is impossible. I've got to say, considering Lawrence suffered a serious injury during the 2023 season when the Jags had an 8-3 record, that to dump on him for coming back as soon as he could(any true leader will want to play even when at 80% of their full capacity ala Baker Mayfield at the Browns) and playing injured is an unfair appraisal of his merits as a QB. His O line has regressed. He is one of the most pressured QBs in the NFL and with a good offensive core he'll prove his credentials.

I think you could draw some parallels to what happened to Baker Mayfield with his injury, and Trevor Lawrence. Moreover, you could also draw that parallel between Lawrence and Peyton Manning, one of the other more highly touted prospects at the position, and his early career off/on struggles. I think if you give up on him you could end up regretting it, and that he could develop into the prospect fans expected him to be.

[@johnchedsey1306]

Of these guys, Wilson seems like the one true bust who will never turn into much of anything. Lawrence I suspect will turn into a top 10 guy year in and year out, but perhaps not "generational". I think Trey Lance's bad luck with injuries means the jury is still out on him and maybe he appears as a starter in 4 years. Impossible to say. Fields just has to learn how to finish games without dumb mistakes. Jones probably will be one of those guys who starts here and there and stays in the league 15 years without being remarkable.

[@spidamitchell8311]

Solid take

[@KMO325]

0:25 It was the latter. You really don’t have to watch the rest of the video beyond this point😂, but the explanation of how it became this way is very interesting.

[@CookieBanana]

Zach Wilson was traded to the Broncos for 2 7's yesterday

[@mattheaton4653]

So I’m a Raiders fan, and I absolutely despise Josh McDaniels as a head coach. I hated him as the Broncos head coach as well. But in Mac Jones’s defense. He played his best under McDaniels… McDaniels is a top tier OC, but an absolute dumpster fire as a HC. Jones still has potential.

[@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970]

Oh yes, a perfect video for my drive home

[@Tryingtofindacreativename]

You know Lawrence is good when his team crashes the moment he gets slightly injured. He took the worst team at the time to a playoff. He didn't take a stacked Niners or stacked Eagles team to a playoff.

[@Wiffle990]

The Bears gave up on Fields to early, they didn't even build that much around him

[@南台湾住民]

Trevor Lawrence is the average QB so far, but he is the only one who might have the contract extension among 2021 QB class. I am not sure whether Trevor Lawrence can be with Jaguars after 2026.

[@japon484]

Mac Jones is the best quarterback ever drafted

[@Dadoojohnson]

He should do the 2020 QB class

[@wavyyoboybrabro7168]

I hope lance gets some more chances i still believe in him

[@ApocalypticRadish]

Fields was a guy I loved to watch in college but I had a feeling his game just wouldn't translate consistently to the pros. He was way too reliant on his legs.

[@TheAcreanCandidate]

Shoutout to the Patriots (or Steve Sarkesian lets be honest) for speedrunning Mac Jones development only to then speedrun destroying said development

[@ihonestlydontevenknow4359]

i just feel like trevor’s bound to have a generational season. this year or next year, it feels like he’s gonna have a 5k, 45+ touchdown mvp season. idk why.

[@backseatdriver_9989]

The Trey Lance pick was HORRIBLE. I have no clue why they’d take a project when they were a win now team. I honestly think that pick is the reason they don’t have a superbowl. No fault of Lance, he just wasn’t right for the Niners

[@MarchOnRome]

2024 has broken the record with 6 QBs in the first 12 picks! I look forward to the “Looking back at the 2024 QB class” in a few years

[@joelc9492]

I don’t know a thing about football but I find these videos interesting 😂 I literally couldn’t name you 4 nfl teams

[@eimhinlynch1517]

3:45 mad seeing that lad wearing a Leinster jersey 😂

[@Juzreg]

I think the quarterbacks in this class is a prime example of why you need to make sure you know the situation your quarterback is going to be in and why it’s important to build around him.

[@spidamitchell8311]

Mac jones

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

Wow. Trevor Lawrence is really the only one who’s worked out. He went backwards a bit in 2023 but I think he’ll turn it around. He’s such a good passer he has to.

[@Joeysmalls3119]

As a Pats fan watching this makes me want Marvin Harrison Jr.

[@spidamitchell8311]

As a pats fan I agree they screwed up giving Mac nothing and blaming him they should get Marvin and beef up the line

[@payableondeath7]

This upcoming season is make or break for Trevor Lawrence, and as a Jags fan I am probably going to just go ahead and get on anxiety meds

[@ajcarr2536]

Problem is most of these guys need to sit for a full year before coming in ever. College game is so different now it takes time for a guy to adjust. That’s why I don’t think Caleb Williams will be as good if he starts from the get go.

[@braidenb3973]

This year is the reason why I don’t by the hype around 4 straight qbs taken this year

[@sammydelorenzi]

12:09 Youngstown made it to the FCS championship a few years back - put some respect on the GUINS 🐧🐧

[@seanc7342]

I always said Lawrence was a fine prospect and probably QB1 of his class but generational my ass. So glad my take aged well

[@jackcoogan310]

It’s hard to call Trevor anything but the second best QB in this class. Given, that’s not saying much, but getting the 2nd best QB as the number 1 pick isn’t a miss at all. Just the wrong time to get a QB (maybe, I’m still a T Law believer)

[@jacobhill3302]

Forgot Lawrence was only drafted 3 years ago, feels like hes been in the NFL for 5+ years. Hes struggling at the moment, I still have faith, somewhat

[@mcstabler8487]

I mean I know it doesn't matter since we have Purdy now but I definitely feel like Mac Jones would've been a star with the 49ers instead of being ruined by the Patriots.

[@golfboy7676]

I’m extremely nervous about who the commanders will pick at 2 and I really hope he isn’t bad

[@RAPIDFIRE0024]

This is going to get some heat, but I think the 2 QBs who will succeed the most will be Bo Nix & JJ McCarthy.

[@poobular]

please respect Davis “Money” Mills

[@grbhighlights9401]

This QB class reminds me of the 2015 QB class. Both had QBs go at #1 and #2 and were rather underwhelming. But I do think Trevor is an above average QB. And could breakout next season.

[@bigbearkat2010]

Tbf, he was already supposed to have a breakout season. He led one of the biggest comebacks in playoff history and his team was 8-3 in what was supposed to be a weak division.

[@trojanFever24]

Imo Zach got drafted into a bad situation, then lost his confidence all together. But that’s just my opinion

[@sheff7129]

browns fan to browns fan karsten i cannot wait for the joe flacco cleveland run video

[@lvxtu3472]

Imma say this a few weeks before he draft - Penix, Caleb, Nix, and McCarthy will all be solid as long as they’re healthy

[@AvrilAlvarez]

Can't believe I was kinda right about Trevor Lawrence. I thought he was gonna be mediocre but I'd say he's better than mediocre. He's good but not worth the generational QB label.

[@idkwhattodo127]

Yall do every draft class besides 2020 😂😂😂😂

[@lyletheegg]

As a jets fan I was excited to see what Wilson could to but tbh I wanted to keep Darnold and give him one last chance. Also starting Wilson right a away was stupid they should have let him sit for a while

[@charlieroselle-vs1kg]

Idk how Trevor got a bag I don’t think he deserves anywhere near 275 million in any workd

[@glennharmsen4295]

As a BYU fan, it was painful to see Zack Wilson be so underwhelming. But 2 years later, we gave the league Puka Nakuru, not to mention having the pleasure of having Steve Young.

[@Scott_Dunbar_II]

I'm a Pats fan who got truly invested in 2022, Mac's second year. It was obvious that him and the entire offense struggled because of Belichick's asinine decision to have Patricia run the offense. What makes it worse was that Mac still played well enough to win games, but due to some TERRIBLE breaks and and things that were completely out of his control, those games were lost. Same applies to 2023, although his bad play was slightly more inexcusable. I'm rooting for Mac to rebound in Jacksonville, and I will die on the hill that he is better than Zappe.

[@CptMoralSupport]

When your arguments begin with “Mel Kieper” it’s not the flex you think it is
