how Sam Darnold a better prospect than Mayfield/ Jackson

[GiantGonzalez]

someone explain this to me. I get Darnold has prototypical size, but how is he better than Jackson wh won the heisman last year, and Mayfield who look like hell win this year. fukk all the measurables and potential, Mayfield and Jackson showing they better passers and can win. Seems every year an obvious talent drops to round 2 or 3 because of some stupid red flag, then dude balls out just like he did in college. shouldnt actual results and experience be the deciding factor in drafting someone?

remember when christian Ponder was a top 10 pick

Having all these qualities will guarantee you a 10+ year career as a QB in the NFL.

He got the complexion


But honestly, from what i gather the draft is such a gamble, they go by up side, how you fit the mold, and then production

Honestly some of these dudes benefit from the situation they are placed in vs talent, wentz went into a good situation, Keizer didn’t, look at Goff under Fischer vs the new guy, it’s so many factors in this i don’t always trip, but i hope this gets jackson on a great team imagine him in Jacksonville or Denver, vs him having to go to either of the ny teams

Cause Mayfield and Jackson operate out of the shotgun 99% of the time?

Which usually doesn’t translate well into the NFL

ah and Darnold workin in pro formations? but his numbers suck, I dont buy that 6'4 nonsense, Rodgers and Brees both under 6'2 and both top 5 QBs.

Draft is a crap shoot. Would have never guessed Cousins would be better than RG3


Darnold right now is living off hype from last year when he was much better. He needs another year.

 

[Super Cheech]

He's not NFL ready yet, needs another year. He relies too much on big, flashy plays with his legs/arms. Gets happy feet after his first read.

[SoulController]

think he needs another year, with some refined pieces to his game he can be a big time player. but hes not there yet

Rosen? idk, he really played with some shyt. he needs to just declare and get into the right sitch

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Baker Mayfield is 2 years older than Darnold/Jackson and plays against some of the worst defenses known to mankind in the Big 12. He's not even in the discussion IMO.

Jackson should be up there, but Darnold is the real deal.

USC used to run the pro set 100% but with changing of the game, they have implemented some of the spread. They still use the west coast/pro more than BIG 12 and ACC schools.

Mayfield the best QB in the country to me though.
NFL coaches could create sets and plays to play to the strengths of Jackson and Mayfield but they lack creativity and dont want to think outside the box.
When NFL coaches play to the strengths of their duel threat QBs, we have what Cam did 2 years ago, but these dumb ass coaches are stuck in their ways.
