Soon.Has anyone seen midswat lately? I hope he’s ok.
lulz Kentucky
It’s a weird year. I mean, I wouldn’t get too cocky - A&M barely scrapped by Vanderbilt a few weeks ago.
Kentucky ain’t that bad of a team anymore. They just won 10 games in the SEC a couple years ago. That’s something Tennessee hasn’t been able to do since 2007. And A&M hasn’t been able to do since 2012. Plus Kentucky finished with the same record as Tennessee and Texas A&M last year.... SoHas anyone seen midswat lately? I hope he’s ok.

I sort of agree and disagree. I think he is worthy of being a number 1 pick like many QBs in the past. But that still doesn't guarantee Mahomes/Aaron Rodgers. Hell they weren't even guarantees when they were drafted.Every year I pick a hill to die on during the college football season.
This year I'm standing firm on the opinion that NFL teams are overvaluing Trevor Lawrence. I think he'll be a good NFL QB but I don't think he's a generational talent like Peyton Manning. I think it's more likely that he's Deshaun Watson Part II. Still a good QB but definitely not in Manning, Mahomes, Brady territory.
Since he's at Clemson surrounded by 4 and 5 star talent and playing in an ACC conference that's been bad the last few years, things have come entirely too easy for Lawrence. Because of this when you watch Clemson games he usually has the benefit of throwing from clean pockets to wide open receivers.
We've talked about this before. This is a big reason why most top NFL QBs come from programs that are a step or two below the elite teams. Over the past 20 years, QBs that had a drastic talent advantage and were All-American/Heisman material in CFB rarely perform at a high level in the NFL. Think QBs from Oklahoma, Bama, USC, Texas, Ohio State, Clemson, etc.
Meanwhile when you look at the top 15 QBs in the NFL almost all of them played at schools like Miss State, Purdue, NC State, Cal, Texas Tech, etc. where they weren't surrounded by a ton of 4 and 5 star talent.
I'd still take Lawrence with a top 5 NFL pick but I think people who have built him up as a can't miss All-Pro are going to be disappointed. I certainly wouldn't throw away an entire season to tank for him or give away multiple 1st round picks to move up for him. There's just too much evidence that points to him being a disappointment.
That's about how I seem him as well. I think he'll be a good pro who will be a dependable franchise QB but I'm not buying all the talk of him being on Mahomes, Manning, or Aaron Rodgers level.But I think at worst he is a Josh Allen/Carson Wentz type. Big, athletic and a great arm. But maybe never a great pocket passer.
The better question is what are your thoughts on Justin Fields. He is a very good college QB but I don't love him for tbe NFL.That's about how I seem him as well.

He's in the same boat. I remember Dewayne Haskins setting all kinds of Ohio State records in this same system, while working with the same talent advantage.The better question is what are your thoughts on Justin Fields. He is a very good college QB but I don't love him for tbe NFL.
Yeah just not many tight window throws. Think Haskins but with mobility.He's in the same boat. I remember Dewayne Haskins setting all kinds of Ohio State records in this same system, while working with the same talent advantage.
If I were a betting man I'd bet that Trey Lance turns out to be the best QB from this class.
Applaud this man.If I were a betting man I'd bet that Trey Lance turns out to be the best QB from this class.
What's the backstory on that one? Fromm was the established started and was playing well back in 2017-2018.I’m so glad Kirby smart is a douchebag and ran off Justin Fields. He doesn’t get enough criticism for fkn that up.
For a split second I thought this would be a huge loss, then I caught myself and remembered this is Alabama. They'll just roll out the next 5 star WR with 4.3 speed and not miss a beat.
