Only the prospects themselves and time can prove anybody wrong. Right now everyone "thinks" they are right. Analytics won't mean squat in the future when a guy you are pounding the table for is out of the league before making it to his second contract.
Nobody is proving future success. We're projecting future success based on available evidence, in pursuit of wasting our real lives away not impacting the upcoming NFL draft. Our projections can be shown to be faulty based on misinterpreted data.
The thing is this is not a science but an art. If it was a science someone would have found the formula or develop the algorithm for drafting a FQB. Until then data schmata.
Considering how bad the GMs are, neither will scouting, the eye test, or anything else. We're all just guessing.
For all you Mayfield fanboys. Keep in mind Mark Sanchez strength coming out of college was accuracy. He had a 66 compleltion %. How did that work out. I hope im wrong but hes going to be known as Baker the Bust if he comes here.
When Sanchez came out of USC there was a lot of talk that yes he had a high completion % but that he was always throwing to wide open WRs. Sound familiar?
Funny as Sanchez is one of the reasons I think Baker will be successful. Baker has a better arm, is more accurate, better anticipation, gets less passes batted down and int% was close to half of what Sanchez was in college. Sanchez still threw 86td-86int as pro.
Baker has no advantage arm wise. If it's stronger it's not enough, Sanchez wasn't weak enough were there's any difference. Here's not more accurate, they both were accurate, start wise at school. Not getting into the whole% thing. Sanchez didn't play in a gimmick offense that padded Mayfield's numbers. Coming off of college only I'd take Sanchez over Mayfield.
Sanchez never had to deal with pressure in college. There was also no/zero/zilch fluidity to his game. He made easy throws look hard, was frustrating watching him play... while it’s quite the opposite with Baker, everything is easy for him. Baker will put up 60%+ in the NFL without blinking... Not surprised Pennington said he’s the purest passer in this class. Reconfirms my opinion + what I see when watching all their tapes.
You're kidding right? Sanchez had none of the issues you brought up. Basket is going to see defense for the first time and actually going to consistently have to complete passed to WRs who are covered. Nothing he has done in his college career guarantees he will do it, never mind without blinking.
He did get to back to back title games with Sanchez and went 8-8 with Geno and the worst Roster in NFL history.If Rex had a real franchise QB he would still be here.
And you don't think he had any culpability in that? He pounded the table for Sanchez, and we can be sure he wanted Geno as well. That's the whole point: Rex doesn't know much about offense or QBs.
