Malazan Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 2 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: The latter may or may not be true - personally, I think legitimate journalists who verify sources take a lot of undeserved Crap nowadays. And I think journalists don't "make up quotes" though they are sometimes lazy and rely on another journalist's speculative "Tweet" as their source. But yes, upon further review Wesley Steinberg is 100% a parody account. The best parody has a lot of reality in it though. There's a lot of murmurs from a broken fanbase because Wilson hasn't lit up training camp when a lot of their fanbase convinced themselves he was the GOAT before camp started. They aren't going to know until next season whether he's going to make it or not, but there is a good deal of hand wringing after he looked great in OTAs. Conversely, there is also a common belief that their defense is going to be the best in AFC East and top 5 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'm happy that Wilson & Mac were the two QB's to get drafted by our divisional rivals. They scare me the least out of the whole bunch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I hope it's Mac Jones. I wish to see the Pats continue their spiral into the toilet post TB12. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny seeing Jets fans getting their panties in a twist about it. The rookie struggles don't sway my thinking too much, it's to be expected, but this sort of stuff does make me even more intrigued about the upcoming season A lot of rookies struggle. If he is having these issues at year end, then it's cause for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I think Trevor Lawrence and Trey Lance will above average QBs in this league. Lawrence will be pretty decent right away, Lance will need 2-3 years of seasoning but has a relatively high ceiling, a boom or bust prospect. Not high on Wilson, Fields or Jones.

Bill from NYC Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Mac Jones should be a good quarterback. I don't think that most fans are aware of just how smart this kid is. He does not have a skill set that even approaches that of Josh Allen, but how many players do? I look for Mac to be somewhere around Tony Romo or Kirk Cousins, but I have been wrong before lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not sure. I wouldn't have much confidence in the teams that majority went to develop them properly. With that said, I think all of em may have a tough road ahead. Guess Lawrence might could have the best chance maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Bust: Zach Wilson Boom: Trey Lance (outside of picking the obvious choice of Lawrence) I actually think Lawrence, Lance, and Fields can be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 There is so much Trey Lance love out there, perhaps because Josh Allen was part of the build up going into the draft? But I just don't see strong parallels to Josh, and will call him being a bit of a bust. But then again I'm not high on any of these QBs, having an immediate positive impact on their teams this year, but going into year two I think Fields and Lawrence both bring good things to the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: Those are the two I've got the best feeling about. Mac Jones feels like a typical Alabama QB. I cant wait for Mac Jones to try to keep up has accuracy and throw into NFL sized windows as 300 lb man are about to crush hi,, then we wlil see what kind of great QB he is. Playing QB at Alabama is hardly a test of great skill, it was probably more difficult for him to get the starting job practicing versus Alabama defense then it was to play other teams. To me he is the most interesting rookie playing this year. If he is a total bust, I wont be shocked, he might even be be cached to be "great" if Bleichek can do the intermediate passes to TEs ad slot receivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 It's funny, I'd almost forgotten about Lawrence. He hasn't been as hyped in the build-up to the season as a lot of 1st picks are, probably because no one gives a ***** about the Jags 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romo didn’t do much when he was playing, in someways he was very overrated, Cousins is both overrated & overpaid. He didn’t do much back with the Redskins and hasn’t shown he was worth the contract that Minnesota signed him to years ago. If that’s the kind of QB Jones turns out to be, then NE will be in a lot of trouble which is fine with me lol Edited August 11, 2021 by BuffaloBills1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I think Wilson is a bust and thought it before the Jets picked him. Mac Jones is another guy I expect to struggle and eventually bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually going into their 4th season, you know how the 1st round QBs are shaking out. The 2018 draft was a strange one. Josh Rosen flamed out faster than any other 1st round QB that I can remember. Darnold has been in such a bad situation I have no idea if he's a bust or if he has a future. The Jets offensive talent last year was as bad as the 2018 Bills.
