    Sam Darnold (6'4/220 lbs).

    • 0 National Championship Games.
    • 549/846 (64.9%).

    All completely state otherwise.


    And here in 2020? Trevor's QB Rating of 192.7 is currently 10th highest All-Time (and climbing) meanwhile Sam Darnold's QB Rating of 148.7 during his final year @ USC of 2017 doesn't even COME CLOSE to cracking the Top 100 All-Time (also says otherwise).

    I think it may be better to compare TL to maholmes, Jackson, and whomever else recently graduated and see if those numbers really translate much. A FQB needs to have some intangibles and deal with some adversity.

    I've already done that and Trevor's numbers, against much more difficult defenses/conference blow Mahomes NCAA numbers out of the waters

    Sam Darnold is a pac 12 hack.
    Lawerence is battle tested
     
  5. Lawrence is the better prospect. He has the most natural command of a pro style colege offense since Peyton Manning. Oh by the way he’s bigger,much more athletic & has a stronger arm than Peyton ever did. Quite honestly Luck never impressed as much as this kid does. Unreal football instincts.

    His personality is Joe Montana-esque. Trevor Cool. Could see that working real well in NY.Turning this thing around.
