NO CHEATING !!! Try and guess who said it WITHOUT using the Internet/Google. It'll be more fun. “I can’t remember being in such awe of a quarterback in my decade of attending combines and pro days. His passing session was the most impressive of all the pro days I’ve been to” -- ESPN analyst Todd McShay "Three years from now, you could be looking at a guy that’s certainly one of the elite top five quarterbacks in this league” -- ESPN's Mel Kiper, Jr. “The workout he had was Star Wars. It was unbelievable” - John Gruden
My guess is Jimmy Glausen because I remember Mel Kiper being infatuated with him. But I'm probably wrong.
First one definitely makes me think Jamarcus Russell - I remember him throwing a football like 50 yards from his knees or something at his Pro Day. Third one also sounds like him if this is all the same guy
Bingo !! Good guesses, guys ! Just thought it was fascinating to see those quotes....and we are only going back 14 years....not 25 or 30....and they all STILL got it so very very wrong. I sure hope all the "experts" are right on Zach.
The issue with Russell was he had a shitty worth ethic. The Raiders sent him a DVD and later asked if he liked what he saw on it. He said yes, but the DVD was blank.
Hmmm, I swear I have followed the words in red above to the letter and haven't looked up anything on the internet or Google or cheated in any way but I'd say that the first quote came from Todd McShay, the second from Kiper and the third from Jon Gruden. That's who said it. What's the prize?
Awesome thread. That's why I listen to legler82, Jonathan VIlma, KurtTheJets fan to be honest. Fields it is. Go Fields!
tbh, throwing from your knees is a bit over rated. I could throw 40 yards+ from my knees when I was in high school.
Bickety. I am adding you to my QB guru list. Now, based on your research and own view if Wilson is a 100, what is Fields? What is Fields floor and ceiling compared to well known current QB's?
it was after he was drafted. he was just a lazy turd who wanted to sit around and get high all day and never cared about football.
