(3,078 posts)Pro football focus had him as better than lawrence after the 2019 season. They also say that the one thing their rating system shows is that college accuracy rate (not completion rate) is the best predictor of pro success.
Allen in Buffalo is the first qb to actually improve in accuracy substantially after college.
Fields had a 'bad' game against indiana. All 5 starters out on the o line. 3 more starters (depending on the alignment 11/12/13/14) out for covid.
You would think after watching the super bowl this year, that people would realize that even patrick mahomet needs a functional offensive line to play well.
The D2 guy with less than 20 starts is the next Akili Smith -- bust city. The back up from Alabama (mac jones) couldn't be accurate with no defenders on his pro day. If he was all that and a bag of chips, he could have won the job earlier. He reminds me of every other bama qb under Sabin...a career clipboard holder. Again PFF says accuracy rates in college predict pro success.
The guy from BYU -- another dude who never played against future nfl defensive lines or defensive backs...might not be a total bust but more likely a bust than an all pro.
