[@floridaman6281]

This QB class shows how much development at the NFL level matters more than simple prospect talent / rankings. Trevor Lawrence - Urban Meyer situation in his first season Zach Wilson - Jets (need I say more?) Trey Lance - Overshadowed by Brock Purdy, and essentially forgotten about and subsequently traded to the Cowboys, where he’s still the 3rd string QB. Justin Fields - Matt Nagy & overall Bears development has sucked for him, probably the 2nd best QB at the end of their careers. Mac Jones - Belicheck is not a good developer of QBs, and has obviously regressed.

[@hzh0847]

I agree but I’m confused by the Lawrence comment did you mean that urban hindered his development? (I’m agreeing just clarifying)

[@floridaman6281]

@@hzh0847 Yes, having an abysmal coach in his first season, on top of all of the drama said coach brought, was extremely detrimental to Trevor Lawrence. We’ve seen CJ Stroud thrive under DeMeco Ryan’s culture and coaching, along with other guys like Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa (both I attribute to coaching and resilience)

[@ForeverDayGreen]

Trey Lance was mostly due to injury I think. Iirc he got the starting Job 2021 -> Got injured instantly (Concussion?) missed two games, played two games got injured again and then it was Jimmys job. 2022 he then got back the starting job in preseason only to get injured again after two games and then Jimmy and Purdy came in.

[@koldonn1111]

Mac Jones failing is on Mac Jones, not Bill Belicheck

[@tresrules16543]

​@koldonn1111 So it was Mac's decision to have a Defensive Coordinator call plays on offense his second year, making the entire offense stagnant and unreliable as a result? Or not get him a real #1 receiver and instead let his best one walk out in free agency? Or let his O-Line get progressively worse as years pass? Which as of week 11, is currently in the bottom 3 of the league for pass protection in 2023? Wait, nevermind. I forgot Bill was responsible for every single one of these 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@Beardownsports]

Fields wasn't known as a "dual threat" coming out of college. He was extremely accurate, completing more than 70%. His legs came to fruition out of necessity with one of the worst lines in NFL history.

[@Samoanmike24]

Exactly. Not only that, but his receiving core for the 22-23 season was the worst in the league. Constantly being the lowest in separation. Dude has to make something out of nothing with his line being bad and his receivers not being able to get open.

He was still known for to be a great athlete with great running ability which was a big part NFL projections. He had 15 rushing TDs in his 2 years at OSU ...

[@youtubeistryingtocensorme]

Mac Jones’s development was the worst. To have Matt Patricia as offensive coordinator in his second year and be benched a number of times Belicheck has destroyed his confidence and honestly he’ll probably be better off at another team as a backup. And Bellicheck has always been frugal with offensive weapons, always looking for low round draft steals over high round offensive draft picks.(he got away with it for 20 years with Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Julian Edelman)

[@loganwagner1539]

Which one of these is Zach Wilson?

[@herbgottidadon]

Or it’s just the QBs are bad not everyone is going to be good in the NFL

[@LarryDaGamerGuy]

@@herbgottidadon well it depends. if a team is notorious for being a shitty team no matter the QB, at what point do you start looking at the management of the team? In the last decade, the Jets have only had a .500+ record twice with 6 different starting quarterbacks. Are all 6 of those QB's solely at fault? I would say no. A team example of a QB at fault would be the Texans. Last year they had 3 wins. With a new quarterback and very few roster changes offensively, the team is already at more wins than they were last year. I wouldn't say that the '21 draft class was screwed entirely by management though anyway. Mac has gotten worse as a player overall despite his OK weapons (though Billy B hasn't really done much to help him out); Lance had some injuries that held him back and when Purdy stepped up and played better, Lance got overshadowed and eventually traded as the 49ers are contending and need a QB now rather than later; and Lawrence is really the only true exception as the Jags hired Douggie P right after his first season and both took their 3-14 team to 9-8 and a playoff win (despite mid QB play).

[@JJ-zr6fu]

Explain Jordan love. I think if a qb can play he’ll show it. In reality I think there’s very few qbs that would’ve done better if they went to a different team. This new narrative of bad spot is made up by draft media to cover up their bad evaluations.

[@LarryDaGamerGuy]

@@JJ-zr6fu Jordan Love was put into the same situation that Aaron Rodgers wanted out of. No solid WR1s, mid RBs with no offensive line to help them or Love, bad offensive play-calling with only the defence keeping them in games. I don't even think Love has been that bad. This is technically his rookie season with no major pieces to keep them in games. By no means is the team bad, they just aren't good enough right now and the media hyping them up in the preseason didn't help them.

[@sportsbycompian]

I have high hopes for Trevor Lawrence his hair is too cool to fail

[@littlebilly8747]

Drafting QBs is insanely risky. Franchises gamble everything on a very low reward bet it seems

[@KDub2234]

What happen was most of those QBs(Wilson, Fields, Lance) were drafted because of their potential. Everyone is or was trying to get the next Mahomes or Josh Allen. But teams are forgetting these QBs with huge potential need to be developed right. Mahomes had Andy Reid who's a great QB guru(McNabb,Vick, an Alex Smith) and only played 1 game his rookie year. It took Allen 2 years to reach his potential and it was thanks to Buffalo building a great system around him to succeed including trading for Stefan Diggs. The Jets and Bears historically can't develop Qbs so Wilson and Fields were in a bad situation from the start. Trey Lance struggled because Shanahan's scheme is too complicated for certain QBs. And Mac Jones showed how bad the Patriots are at drafting talent around the QB.

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

Mahomes had Reid. Allen had Brian Daboll. It will be interesting to see if Dabol can do for Caleb Williams or DRAKE MAYE what he did for Josh Allen. think Daniel Jones is out of NY as the starter, tbh.

You might say its hindsight but I always thought 2021 QB draft class was nothing but a phantom. 2020 College football had one of the worst defenses I've seen. I think COVID hit defense harder than offense and there were too many broken-coverage-wide-open-TDs, even in college football standard. And plus, with reduced games, QBs really didn't have too many "bad games" to pick apart. They looked great on paper. Add two together, and we got multiple QBs with huge stats and highlight reels, and not many bad films to complain, and with so many teams with needs at QB, they all gambled, and I guess they all paid for them.

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

I also think the defences have better elite athletes off the edges (4.4 types), and coverages just work. Going to be interesting to see what 2024 class has to offer.

[@choosecarefully408]

Been trying to think of what teams would be best. Since the Pats & Giants are likely gonna finish low enough to draft a prospect, I'm thinking the Titans & Vrabel might be a place he can succeed. Cripes, the Browns _and_ Bengals may need new starting QBs. The Saints & Falcons would be more of the same, coaches with too many Preconceived Notions about what a QB "should be" & not how to best use the ones they have. The Jets would be an amazing fit but they won't deal for a QB if Rodgers is coming back. Same with Geno Smith & the Seahawks although that fit seems *ideal!* Raiders? I'd hate to see him get stuck on that team. Jets & Seahawks would be where he could succeed _now._ But they have little or no need to get him.

[@fireye0889]

Justin Fields can not read a defense. Holds the ball because he doesn’t know where to go with it. Could be a serviceable backup. Not starter level. Never was an NFL starter level QB.

[@choosecarefully408]

@@fireye0889 Watch his highlight reels. KZbin has plenty. He's *excellent* at throwing TD passes into tight windows. WAY above average. (You won't find stuff like that on Tom Brady's highlights, that's for damned sure). For Some Unknown Reason he simply started staring at open receivers last season. A _LOT!_ If I'm not mistaken, that's a New Feature of his. So if he's doing it intentionally or semi-so, to indicate he dislikes the play called or is trying to wait for a better pass to open up, it's stupid of him to do so. If he's concussed, then the coaches should have responded to this WAY before now. I honestly don't know what's going on with him. To me, I think that yeah, the coaching staff had it in for him & Fields doesn't know *what **_players_* also might. The fact that he developed a close friendship only with some guy they acquired in the off-season implies he hasn't gotten close with anyone already there. Even if they don't outright say so, coaches who dislike their QB communicate this to the team. *They **_see_* the differences in how they're treated. & what's a player to do? Side against the people paying their salary? That may be what's going on but I'm reaching, I'm aware.

His only problem is turnovers.

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

Trevor's td to int ratio doesn't tell the whole story, he's had multiple games where he throws for 300+ yards with no tds or picks.

Neither guy is very good. At best they are average middle of the pack QBs when surrounded by a perfect situation. -Trey had worst luck of group by far. Injuries derailed him and during that time a rare good day 3 QB emerged and took his job. -Fields was literally never more than a project QB who cant read defenses but his coaches have refused to put him in an offense tailored for him. He is the guy I think has been held back by coaches the most as you can do a lot with a guy with Fields talents, despite his limitations. -TLAW just isnt a difference maker despite his physical talents. He needs better blocking but I dont see why anyone would think at this point Urban Meyer has anything to do with his game....Urban wasnt playing on the field then and def is not now lol

[@andrewholland853]

Id takw back some of that Jets GM praise has def gotten talent but one of the most vital parts to a football team is the O Line and its been horrible for the past 3 yrs

[@bothompson-ov6ju]

Thank you. I've been saying for a long time. Remawe need to reserve the word bust for the Vine. Least and jamarcus Russell's of the NFL. Cleveland Farrell got labeled the bust Because he wasn't a sackmaster. However, if you look at his Mone stuffing capability, he was running the better ones In the league. And even in the day we're all the credit goes to the core back once stuffing is still in necessity

[@dantheman8152]

The franchise you go to is key!

[@kennethbryant5819]

Bengals, Jaguars and Texans were horrible when Burrow, Lawrence and Stroud got there. Some guys just have it.

[@terraceavery4125]

Of the five, who is more likely to win a Lombardi trophy? I would say Trevor Lawrence as a starting quarterback, and I could say Trey Lance as a backup. I actually believe Mac Jones will develop better with a different coach next year. I don’t want him under Bill Belichick again after this season. Justin Fields might do well in Baltimore, because if Lamar Jackson can perform the way he does, Fields might too. Zach Wilson, I honestly would just forget it!

[@RorinoTheGreat]

Trey Lance might be the unluckiest player in NFL history. -1 year in FCS -COVID shuts down his second year -gets drafted to a Super Bowl ready team -sits another year -first game as starter is a rain game, plays terrible, perhaps due to inexperience/weather -breaks his ankle in his second game as the starter -the literal last pick in the draft is the living reincarnation of Joe Montana somehow -hasn't played more than two games in a row in 3 years -has a bad training camp -traded I'll never get over it

I think you don’t watch Jags games. It’s really bad play calling for the Jags. Only 7.4 percent of our routes go past 20 yards and our average depth route is under 10 yards. Can’t do much with that. Last year 31st worst offensive line this year 32nd. He is making the best of a bad situation.

Zach Wilson’s issue is he shouldn’t have been taken as number 2 overall, at best he’s a 2nd rounder, at worst a 5th rounder And going to a dumpster fire like the 2020-2021 Jets did him no favors I feel like people would have a different opinion if say….he went to the LA Rams to sit behind Matt Stafford for a couple seasons or the Vikings to sit behind Kirk Cousins I still think he could be salvageable into a backup/journeyman QB but he’s still a work in progress Mac Jones had potential and then Bill Belichick decided to destroy him, the Patriots, and everyone because Belichick is dumb and thought Matt Patricia could run an offense

Zach Wilson stats are unbelievable. If a quarterback had 20 Passing TD in one year that is still considered low. Zach has a total of 20 Passing TD in Close to 3 years of football. 56 percent complete rate in close to 3 years. That has to be the lowest among quarterbacks who have 30 starts in 2 and half years. Another stat that is overlooked is the amount of times Zach Wilson has fumbled the ball. 9 fumbles alone this year at Week 11. 2023 stats (after10 Weeks) 5 Passing TDS, 6 Interceptions, 9 Fumbles,

[@spidamitchell8311]

[@johnchedsey1306]

I was thinking about Justin Fields earlier. He should go to the Bears front office, agree it didn't work out and ask to be traded to a team that a) has a track record in developing young QBs and b) merely needs a backup for the time being. That would be, oh, the Dolphins. I feel like Mike McDaniel would find ways to get the most out of Fields, should Tua get injured. Fields and Lance still might have chances in the NFL. Jones and Wilson strike me as guys who might be backups for a decade but never have major starting time again.

[@MustacheDLuffy]

Fields is too talented to be a back up lmao

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

1. The thing with Zach Wilson is .. he has to be mobile and in that role, he has to be accurate throwing while on the run. He is unsuccessful "off schedule". That's pretty much it. That is a guy who's ceiling SHOULD be mobile Taylor Heinicke. He isn't. 2. Mac Jones finished 2nd for ROTY .. 10 TD 10 INT isn't good - but he lost OC Josh McDaniels - and that dude NEVER should've left New England. I think jury is still out, tbh 3. Lawrence had Head coach Urban Meyer .. that being said , I agree . I just think he needs better accuracy in the red zone and I think he'll turn the corner SOME HOW. I kind of think he gets over the hump next year. 4. Trey Lance should've gone back to school. 3 first round picks were ridiculous and the Niners LUCKED the hell out with Mr Irrelevant Brock Purdy. 5. Justin Fields - the jury is still out, but he has to stop the "hero ball." .. holds on to the ball way too much.

Only thing i can say for Wilson is its not his fault the Jets drafted him #2. Idk why they thought this was a good idea, but he was never gonna live up to that
