QB Prospects Thread

For me I think you gotta go Jayden Daniels. Plenty of QBs can get out and scramble to extend plays, it seems like Maye can do that too, but Jayden can get you chunk plays with his legs. Not just like Alex Smith who would run for 7 yards on 2nd and 10. But like for 35 yards and deep into opposing territory. That and the ability to throw deep with accuracy and avoid turnover worthy plays, he looks legit to me.

yea draft JD !!

I can't believe it's still 25 days till the draft

I hate to compare College to NFL but JD5 looks like a better passing Lamar Jackson.. We've seen what Lamar can do as a 2 time MVP... I like Maye alot and think he could be a good one but I feel Daniels is the safer more sure thing pick.

I remain comfortably seated on the JD bus. I'm not looking for a good QB or a safe pick. I'm looking to get someone who has the talent and work ethic to be truly great. I think I see that in JD.

Surely, I could be wrong but past a certain point I don't think it's wise to tie up oneself and become indecisive by trying to pick the fly shit out of the pepper. The coaches will help him correct any minor flaws.

In JD I see just what I want in a modern day NFL QB and I'm hoping the Commanders brass drafts him.

Yeah Daniels just has it in him to randomly flip the field on a scramble where he rips off 40 yards. He is likely to do that 1-2 times a game, which for a team that will likely have a lot of stalled drives will mean 1-2 more scoring chances per game.

That said, I feel like this is a really nice problem to have because when I watch Maye I feel like I'm watching Justin Herbert.

What separates Daniels from Maye for me is Maye sails some easy passes sometimes. I didn't see Daniels do that very much. And then the threat with the legs I've already mentioned.

But if we ended up with either one I think we're looking at a franchise guy. I think there are 3 franchise level QBs in this draft and we pick 2nd. Finally, we're in the right place at the right time. Haven't been able to say that about QBs and the draft at any point in my adult life.

Yeah I agree 100%. Some say Maye is like Josh Allen but I tend to lean towards the Herbo comparison too. Very simialt players, Maye is prob a bit more mobile than Herbert.

Overall I'm fine with either but still prefer JD

I've also seen him compared to Andrew Luck . . . definitely wouldn't mine a young Andrew Luck coming on board!!

From a purely practical perspective Daniels makes sense. If he's an equivalent to Lamar Jackson, then he at least offers that added dimension of a QB that can gain rushing yards when pass plays break down or on designed plays that leverage his running ability without unnecessarily risking him. I'm not a LJ fan because he's not a great passer, but you can't say he's not a playmaker. If Daniels can be a better passer than LJ, then maybe you have a franchise QB. At worst he could be the guy that makes us competitive until a future franchise QB is available again.

You can't coach what this kid can bring to the table. His speed, quick release, and accuracy are elite. His release is significantly quicker than Maye's which is one reason I prefer him to be the pick.
