Please god no on Mac Jones. Alabama QBs don't do anything in the NFL today. I'm in the camp that Tua will be a flop. Jones has been receiving a great deal of praise from a local sports personality here in Denver who is at his 15 Senior Bowl by the name of Cecil Lammey. This guy is pretty good at seeing talent for the most part, but like anyone, he doesn't bat 1.000. He actually rave about Trey Hendrickson a few years ago. I just don't trust Alabama QBs, and Jones is nothing but a statue surrounded by the best talent on OL and WR/RB that college football can offer.

Understood completely brother. The draft & cashing in on legit/long-term QB is always a crap shoot however I like what I see on tape similar to what I saw from Burrow (he also had weapons at WR/RB at LSU) last season.

Mac throws guys open (anticipation), smart, doesn't make a lot of mental mistakes & has been well coached. But I get it, at the next level he could nose dive .

IMO we must draft a QB this year. You build the nucleus through drafting.

Time will tell on Mac and the rest of the 2021 QB class.

No doubt on Alabama QBs. I guess that brings up a question though...what school has a good QB history from today to going back say 15 years.

Obviously Michigan 🤣

The way you guys feel about Alabama QB's is the way I feel about Ohio State QB's. Fields to me is overrated and quite streaky, I think it's very likely he is going to be a bust.


The real steal I think at QB is going to be Ian Book. But I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I seem to be about the only person high on him.

I see lower round/undrafted grades across the board & some scouts are claiming he will be a career back up at best in the NFL.

Hadn't watched a whole lot of ND football in 2020. What's his story?

He's been a reliable starter for the Irish for a good 2 1/2 seasons. The thing that impress me about him is his composure, combined with his ability to move around and extend plays. He is pretty smart with the ball too and doesn't turn it over too often. He also seems to have the leadership and intangibles. The guy I compare him to is Jake Plummer. Perhaps could even be better.

I feel the same. Alabama and Ohio State are 1a and 1b in that field. Not a believer in Fields either.

Too bad we have no "shot" at Zach Wilson. His pocket presence/awareness extends a lot of drives.

Ahhh, it's draft time again .
